Information Jacob R. would like to know about your pet

Naturally I trust that I can learn as much about your pet ahead of time as possible. I have experience with handling dogs with certain conditions but I rely on the owner to show me and help me understand. Planning a meet up before hand is always encouraged.

A typical day

I have a park and a lot of side walk areas to walk your dogs. My complex is hidden in a residential area so it allows me access to a normal neighborhood to walk your dog in.

Pet care experience

FOR ALL WALKING/DROP IN REQUESTS: I NEED AT LEAST A DAY IN ADVANCED IN ORDER TO ENSURE I CAN ACCEPT AND CONFIRM YOUR BOOKING. ANY SAME DAY REQUESTS WILL BE MET WITH A 50% CHANCE OF THE BOOKING BEING DECLINED DUE TO SCHEDULING. PLEASE AND THANK YOU My mother was a dog breeder for many years and now owns 2 dog shops. I have had years of experience handling and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I even worked is a cashier for my mother's store for many years. I grew up with Yorkies in the house as well as my Golden Retriever Riley (He passed away sadly). I also study in college (Most courses online) and aspire to be a writer and work in the film business. I work a job at a ups right now in the warehouse. The hours are usually short and in the early morning. (4amto9am or shorter). Only 5 days a week then I have the rest of the day to watch your dogs. I live in a condo in Raleigh, NC. I would prefer dogs that aren't tood noisy as I have neighbors all around me to consider. I shine better with drop in visits and walks, as well as house watching. Although I am more than happy to Board your dog for a day or more as well.

jacob does a great job with my 2 dogs, one who has some anxiety issues but he works to make her feel comfortable. he leaves my home the same way he found it and communicates with me if any issues arise. i wouldn't hesitate to use him again to watch my home and dogs.

Jacob walked our two dogs while I was away. He was prompt and the dogs had a great time.

Jacob was able to accommodate a somewhat short notice request for walking my dog. He followed instructions, arrived on time each day, walked Opal, and included pictures on her walk cards. Jacob is reliable and trustworthy.
