Your Dog's New Best Friend

I know how important it is for your pup to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you are away. I have been walking, feeding and giving basic care for over 8 years. It is just myself and my fur baby, Randy, at home. We both enjoy making new friends, young and old. We will treat your pup like part of the family. There will be plenty of outside playtime and inside snuggle time too. I send photos regularly so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands.

Jacob is the best Rover! I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog was in such great hands. He was reliable, caring, and made the whole experience incredibly easy. If you need a sitter anywhere near the Gulf Coast, choose Jacob. I absolutely will again!

I always hate to give away my best kept secret. However, Jacob is my dog’s most favorite pet sitter. She is an 11 year-old lab border collie mix. So of course I’ve had her for a very long time and I know her very well. She is super well taken care of at Jacob’s. Talk about peace of mind…

Jacob did an amazing job watching Copper! He was great with him, kept me updated while I was away, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Copper was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have him watch Copper again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

He took such good care of Dalilah. I don’t leave her often , but I will definitely rebook Jacob again if I need to.

Jacob was excellent! My two boys had a great time with Jacob and his babies. They came home happy and tired!

I currently work part-time....on a typical day I'm away 10am-2pm or less. These short work hours allow me to keep your pet's routine consistent with meals, potty breaks and playtime.

Safety, trust & environment

Things are pretty chill at the house. Pups are allowed on the furniture/bed unless you tell me otherwise. I also have a fenced backyard for potty/playtime. I can give medicine if required and can crate pups if this is what they are use to doing. Send leashes, harness, bowls, bedding or anything that will help your pup feel at home and safe.

Pets

A typical day

Typically I start my day with a cup of coffee with Randy in the backyard for potty & exploring time then back inside for breakfast which is around 8am. I can make feed time adjustments if needed. I will give potty breaks every 2/4 hours depending on if it's a work day or not. Dinner time will be around 6pm but that can also be adjusted. My goal is to keep your pup on their regular routine so they feel at home.
