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!

Jacob takes the best care of Riggins! My pup genuinely always seems to have a good time there!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious, fenced-in backyard where your pets can play safely. I understand the importance of peace of mind for pet parents, so I provide frequent updates and photos, ensuring you know your furry friend is happy, comfortable, and well-cared for at all times.

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.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, dietary restrictions, or specific behaviors that I should be aware of to provide the best care possible.
