Availability

Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I’m available seven days a week, with the most open availability from Sunday through Tuesday. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, I work later in the day (2:45–9 PM), so I’m free for morning, midday, and evening visits. Fridays and Saturdays are my busiest days with both of my part-time jobs, but I can still do morning and evening visits—plus quick lunchtime drop-ins if you’re nearby. I’m also available for overnight house sitting any day of the week. I prefer bookings made about a week in advance, but I can occasionally take last-minute requests if my schedule allows. And yes, I’ve got reliable transportation to get to you and your pets with no problem.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m taking care of pets in your home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and totally spoiled in their own space. I follow your instructions exactly—feeding schedules, meds, routines, quirks, all of it—because every pet has their own little rhythm. I’m big on safety, so doors, gates, and anything a curious animal might get into get double-checked. And when it comes to your home, I treat it like it’s my own: respectful, clean, and never leaving a mess behind. Whether I’m popping in for a quick visit or settling in for an overnight stay, I keep things calm, fun, and consistent so your pets feel comfortable and you feel confident everything’s in good hands.

Information Jacob P. would like to know about your pet

It’s super helpful to know about any special needs or behaviors your pets have ahead of time—especially anything aggressive—so I can make sure everyone stays safe and happy. I’m comfortable with all breeds and most personalities, including semi-aggressive cats (as long as they have their space!). I can give pills if needed, and I always bring patience, calm energy, and respect. I like to be introduced first so your pets can get to know me, and I can learn where everything is and observe their unique habits firsthand. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make their day fun, safe, and stress-free while you’re away.

A typical day

I’m a busy guy with two jobs, so I’m in and out throughout the day—even sometimes on my days off for the gym or time with my fiancé—but your pets get my full attention whenever I’m with them. Dogs get walks, playtime, and games, while cats enjoy toys, laser fun, and cuddles. I match each pet’s energy and keep their routines consistent so they stay happy, loved, and stress-free until you return.

Pet care experience

Hi I'm Jake and I've been caring for pets my whole life—dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, you name it! I’m a friend everyone calls when they need someone reliable to take care of their pets, and I’m now turning that into something I genuinely enjoy doing. Even though my landlord won’t let me have a dog, I get my fix by caring for all kinds of pups and kitties through house sitting and drop-ins; these options are a great way for your pets to feel safe and loved in their own familiar environment while you're away. I’m super patient, reliable, trustworthy, great at following instructions, and I always keep you updated so you never wonder how your fur babies are doing. I’ve worked with everything from tiny Chihuahuas to big lovable labs, goldens, pitties, Frenchies, plus plenty of cats and critters in between. Whether your pets need walks, playtime, feeding, or just a calm buddy to hang with, I’m your guy—and I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and spoiled while you’re away. I do live a busy life including two part time jobs. But my schedule is still perfect for house sitting/drop-ins (see availability). If you don't mind me being in and out throughout the day and home with your fur babies at night, then I'm your guy! * Please note: My standard rates cover clients within a 10-mile radius of my home. My maximum service area extends to a 25-mile radius (approximately a 30-minute drive in typical traffic). For clients between the 10-mile and 25-mile radius, an additional travel fee of $0.74 per mile will be added to the total booking cost to cover gas, wear and tear, and associated taxes/fees.

Jaik is amazing with our two labradors! He is very responsible and takes very good care of our girls! We are very happy we found him so our girls don’t have to go to a kennel and can stay in their own home! He took great care with our home as well! Thank you Jaik!
