A couple pet loving tortoise owners
Pet care experience
Me and my partner have grown up with pets and have an affinity for them. I've had 4 dogs over the years, all lived healthy long lives. Now a days we take care of Henry and terra, our beautiful tortoises, so we already end up going out for pet walks and chores anyway, and we'd love to help you take care of your pets as well.
Reviews
Jacob did an amazing job taking care of Daisy. He gave us lots of updates and even included her in his family Christmas party! I highly recommend Jacob.
Jacob was nice and personable. We received picture updates throughout the visit. He went out of his way to pick up and drop off our pets, over a 45 minute drive each way! We will use him again.
Writing this review and I'm sure it's not a surprise to Jacob. Boarded my dog for 3 nights with him and gave two specific instruction 1) I want lots of updates, 2) be careful what she eats because she has a sensitive stomach, only feed her the snacks and food I bring. Aside from the first update, Jacob did not send anymore updates unless I asked. Then, on the last day of our trip I was woken up at 6:45 am by a text from Jacob telling me that Mochi was sick to her stomach, had diarrhea and vomiting, and that she didn't want to eat the night before. We hurried up and left our trip early and rushed home because I was worried. Jacob was not consistent about how she was doing. **The one thing he did make sure to do was tell me he was going to charge me for having to clean after her.** Here I am, hours away, rushing home, worried sick and Jacob is hitting me up for more money. Half way home, he text again asking for a 20 minute heads up before I arrived. For what?? I'm upset that Jacob either gave her something to eat that he shouldn't have - or - neglected her and she ate something she shouldn't have. On top of that, he wanted me to pay for his cleaning supplies. Like, why wouldn't a dog sitter have cleaning supplies on hand?? He really had no explanation for us. My husband asked and asked and Jacob was no help. Mochi's home and doing much better but I would definitely caution anyone considering hiring Jacob.
Jacob was very nice and I think may cats had a blast staying with him! Will definitely be booking with him in the future!

Information Jacob P. would like to know about your pet
So some important things to open with for us would be level of training, friendliness with other dogs, typical noise level, and special triggers. Additionally were open to hearing any special accomodations you would like us to provide.
A typical day
A typical day can see walks at various times, as many feedings as requested, plenty of free roam time, potential park visits etc. Additionally I'll be present for pretty much all of the day to watch and monitor/play.
