Walking in a Dog's World!!!

Pet care experience

I never realized how much a dog could leap into your heart and nestle there forever until I met Marley, the dog my wife had when I met her! Learning with Marley led us to get precious Zara and she's got me wrapped around her little paw! Zara is about as spoiled as she can be, after all it's her world and I'm just lucky to live in it! Taking care of Marley and Zara has been a wonderful heart-warming experience and walking and running with them has helped to maintain my own fitness. Making sure they get to go out and walk motivates me to do the same for which I couldn't be more grateful! I mean, do we really take care of them or are they taking care of us!!!!

Jacob was prompt and responsive to any questions we had. He sent photos and updates for our girls. They really like him, as do the humans ?.

Jake’s been great with our dogs. We have a shy one and one that’s grumpy. He’s been patient with both of them and we feel really comfortable with him watching our dogs!

Excellent… Very simply , Jacob had to come back to the house to pick up something he forgot and my dog immediately ran to him and wanted to play…that says it all so it’s my dogs review and not mine that means the most to me

Safety, trust & environment

Our yard is split by the driveway but the back half of it is fenced in behind the house. The porch is inside the fence and open to the dogs to run through as it wraps around the front of the house! I walk Zara all around the neighborhood here so have no issues walking through whatever area your home might be in. We cut through back roads and side paths and run up steps and the like all around the area.

Information Jacob M. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs or behaviors certainly such as medicines or particular aversions/tendencies. Does the dog like to pull a runner and make you chase them? Any dominance issues and/or interacting with other dogs?

A typical day

I love to run around the neighborhood plus there is a park close by that also has a little river with a beach and a track to walk around. We have toys coming out of our ears so fetch is always on the table.

I work from home and make my own schedule! I'm a writer and a podcaster so I'm always home. Zara loves to distract me for walks and jaunts outside and running around in the yard.
