Safety, trust & environment

My top priority as your sitter will be closely and attentively following the guidelines you have set as an owner to feel comfortable. I can accommodate any of your pets particular needs. I will feed and release them outside consistently on time, give them approved treats, provide them with enrichment activities and attention if they seem to desire it. I will act with high respect for the pet's boundaries and house rules.

Information Jacob R. would like to know about your pet

Any need your dog has is a snap for me, just let me know. It could be administering a tough medication or even dealing with difficult behaviors like aggression and incomplete potty training.

A typical day

I spend a lot of time with any particular dog figuring out what is their most preferred thing. Some are food motivated, some are play motivated, some are attention motivated. I want to provide each pet I interact with a strong set of rewards during our time together. I also have a knack for finding tension in dogs muscles and loosening them up, they love it.

Pet care experience

I have been dog/cat-sitting for friends and family for years, including overnight stays and daytime potty breaks. I've been around dogs and cats all my life. I love being around them and it fulfills me to adequately take care of their needs, as an owner myself my worst fear is someone taking sub-par care of my dog (Cupcake) when we have to leave her. Your pets will be in good hands with me.

Jacob was great with our dog and he followed all of our instructions correctly. Our dog was happy and tired when we got home! :) Would definitely book again!

Jacob is one of the most honest, caring, empathetic people I know. He’s been watching our two doodles, in our home, for years, when we leave town. He has extensive experience working with all dog breeds in a local doggy daycare. He has a natural rapport with all kinds of animals. He’s responsible and completely trustworthy. We can’t recommend Jacob highly enough for the care of anyone’s pets.

Jacob does an amazing job taking care of our two big doodles. He is reliable, gives them lots of walks and attention, makes sure they get their vitamins, and keeps them happy. He is also great at staying in our house and taking care of it. The dogs are always so happy to see him!
