Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I’m a big believer in the outdoors, so I love taking dogs for walks and letting them run off some energy in safe, controlled spaces. When caring for your dog at your home, I respect your space and routines while ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I’m committed to your pet’s safety and well-being, and I treat them like family.

Information Jacob S. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know if your dog has any special needs, preferences, or behaviors that I should be aware of ahead of time. The more information I have, the better I can tailor the experience to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it’s their favorite toy, any health concerns, or how they interact with other dogs, open communication helps me provide the best care possible. I’m here to make sure your pet has a great time, and I always welcome a conversation to make sure we’re on the same page.

A typical day

A typical day with me and your pup is all about fun and exploration. The outdoors are a must! We’ll start the day with a walk around the neighborhood or down a scenic path to stretch those legs. I always make sure to give your dog plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get some exercise. Depending on their energy level, we might head to a local park for some off-leash play or even take a jog if they’re up for it! I keep a close eye on their comfort and energy, making sure they stay hydrated and happy throughout the day. Of course, there’s always time for a bit of rest and cuddle time in between, to ensure they feel loved and relaxed.

Putting your pets needs first

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Jacob, and I’ve been passionate about dogs my whole life. Growing up, I was the go-to person for taking care of friends and family’s dogs, whether it was walking, feeding, playing, or just giving them the love and attention they deserve. Now, as a recent college graduate with a degree in Film Production from New Paltz, I’m back on Long Island and looking to combine my love for dogs with the opportunity to make some extra income. I understand that every dog has its own unique personality and needs, and I’m dedicated to making sure they feel comfortable and safe while in my care. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, cozy cuddles, or a little playtime, I’m ready to make their experience as enjoyable as possible. I also pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented—traits that I honed during my time managing creative projects in film production. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, I’d love to help out. Let’s make sure your dog has the best experience when you're away!

Jacob has a wonderful sitter over the last year on multiple occasions. He’s been very flexible to my schedule and my dogs are always ecstatic to see him, I could not recommend another sitter more.
