Information Jacob S. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with various breeds and temperaments, so I'm equipped to handle different needs and ensure a comfortable stay for your furry friend.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch is filled with fun and engaging activities. We start with a morning walk or playtime in my fenced-in backyard to get some fresh air and exercise. Throughout the day, we'll enjoy interactive play sessions with their favorite toys, followed by some quiet time for cuddles and relaxation. Depending on your pet's preferences, we might also explore nearby parks or trails for a change of scenery. I ensure each pet receives personalized attention and plenty of love, making their stay enjoyable and stress-free.

Jacob S. is an excellent boarder, and I have used his service multiple times. He’s flexible and understanding when pickup or drop off times don’t go exactly as planned. Great dog skills and knowledge. Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook again!

Jacob did a great job with our somewhat neurotic pitty mix, Stella. She was socializing with other dogs and we got photo updates throughout her stay. Jacob was accommodating in switching his communication from me (who booked the stay) to my husband (who was coordinating drop off/pick up). We were very happy!
