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 great and attentive to pets! I had a cancellation last minute and he responded very fast and was very kind. It was a short 1 day stay but he still made sure to update me with a video and message that morning. He let me know how Molly was through the day and if she ate or not which was a concern I had noted when I dropped her off. Your pet will be in great care with him.

Bella is right at home when she stays with Jacob. She loves his huge yard to run around. Jacob sends daily videos or pictures to keep us up to date on our girl. Also, Jacob administered her meds daily which was very important. Bella will stay here again in the future!

Jacob was very attentive. He followed all the instructions for my old girl. She is on several supplements. He sent great videos and pics. We will definitely be rebooking.

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.
