Reliable & Loving Pet Care

Hi! My name is Jacob and my wife’s name is Alexis and we are reliable, active animal lovers who enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. We understand that pets are family, and treat every dog in our care with the same attention, patience, and love that we would give our own. We responsible, dependable, and comfortable handling energetic dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, we’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. We live an active lifestyle, so I enjoy getting dogs outside for exercise, walks, and fresh air. I also make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely so they stay comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always our top priority. We are happy to provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!

Absolutely love this sitter! Especially when I had to unexpectedly extend my booking, were flexible, accommodating, and went above and beyond when I needed it the most. Definitely using them again for sure.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I plan my schedule so I can give pets the time and attention they deserve, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I’m consistent with routines and make sure to follow each pet owner’s instructions closely so their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and doing well.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I always follow the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they stay relaxed and happy. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep everything clean and organized while caring for their pet. I’m attentive to any special instructions, such as medications, dietary needs, or preferred walking routes. I also like to send updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and doing well while they’re away.
