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 has a great set up for dogs who like to roam around a big backyard. Our dogs are very spoiled and love to lounge on the sofa and beds. His house is very dog friendly and our pets were right at home! Jacob was great at sending videos and keeping us informed. We’ll definitely send our dogs back when we take another trip.

Very good experience. The guy loves dogs and ours was happy with him. It was her first time being watched or around other dogs. 10/10 recommend.

My experience with Jacob was 5+ stars throughout the entire process: booking, answering questions, flexibility with drop off and pick up, updates from him on how our baby was adapting, and many other things. Jacob took excellent care of our 14 year old poodle. HIGHLY recommend him and we will definitely have him care of our pets in the future!

We had a last minute need for boarding, Rover was suggested, Jacob responded immediately. It was a seamless experience, Jacob’s service was excellent. We will definately use this service in the future and Jacob when we are in his area.

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.
