Availability
As a pet owner, I build my entire routine around my pets and their needs. More often than not if I'm leaving the house to run an errand it is somehow pet related.

About Jacob S.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to pet care in someone else's home the main thing for me is respect. Both in regards to the physical boundaries they set as well as their preferences in regards to pet care. Some pets are allowed on the furniture, or they have a very specific routine or schedule they follow. At the end of the day, I consider myself to be an extremely flexible and accommodating person in regards to caring for others' pets.
Information Jacob S. would like to know about your pet
Every dog is unique in one way or another! Personally for me, providing the best possible pet care is knowing what makes your pup special from the rest, so please let me know!
A typical day
Depending on the location I am a huge proponent of the "walk til they stop method" - 9 times out of 10 when a dog is ready to head home they'll let you know. As someone who grew up and worked with high-energy field dogs, I take pride in providing mental stimulation as well as physical.

Reviews
I hired Jacob to take care of my dog while I was away on a work trip. It couldn’t have gone better. Jacob sent lots of updates and pics and my dog clearly loved spending time with him. He also took great care of everything and left my place spotless.
Jacob was so awesome with my dog. She loved him immediately. I could tell bc she had the zoomies on their second walk together. Couldn’t recommend Jacob highly enough!
Jacob and I met almost a decade ago while we were both working at a doggy boarding facility. He was amazing with all the dogs there and since then, he has watched my two senior dogs on multiple occasions. He is a natural animal person that even my shy pittie warmed up to immediately. I trust him completely with walking, feeding and staying over night with my animals 😊
Jacob has watched our cat Charlie multiple times for a week or two at at a time and has been great with Charlie every time! He takes the time to really play with him, brush and groom him, and just hang out and give him attention instead of rushing through the visit. Charlie was comfortable and happy with him, which says a lot. Jacob overall is attentive, patient, and genuinely caring, and it gives us peace of mind knowing Charlie is in good hands while we are traveling. We’ve booked him multiple times and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter for their fur baby.
