Came home to relaxed happy pups and a clean house. Jacob has an amazing grounding energy for my anxious dogs and kept my little chihuahua mix feeling secure during 4th of July fireworks. 10/10

Jacob was so great! Bucky loved him from the get go! He was calm and listened to my instructions about Buckys collar but he barely had to use it during the walk. Bucky came back super tired and smiling!

Jacob was great! He took my dog for a walk very last minute and was super detailed in his report back to me!

Jacob is amazing, I cannot say enough great things about him. He will love your pets as if they are his own! Not only have I know Jacob for 10+ years, working along side him in the hospital, but he has also watched my pets for me. Last summer Jacob watched my elderly dog, Rollo, for several weeks while I was out of the country. He sent me pictures several times a day, he made sure Rollo had all the love and attention he needed, he kept Rollo so safe and happy, and Jacob kept me informed if anything -big or small- happened while I was away. Rollo has since passed away many months later, but I look back on all the wonderful pictures I have of my sweet boy playing with Jacob and being loved, and I am thankful that Rollo had Jacob to take care of him. Jacob was there for me and my dogs during our biggest time of need! Jacob has been an avid lover of all animals for as long as I have known him, just ask him about his bunny tattoo!
