Thanks a million to Jacob for taking such wonderful care of my Hank. He played ball and got lots of exercise.

Jacob went truly above and beyond while taking care of my pup. My dog had a fresh set of stitches, needed medication, and even required a follow-up visit to the vet for bandage care—and Jacob handled everything with incredible responsibility, patience, and compassion. He kept me updated, followed instructions carefully, and went out of his way to make sure my pup had everything she needed. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands during a stressful time. I cannot recommend Jacob highly enough and will be letting him watch my pup next time I need a dog sitter.

Jacob and his lovely family watched our puppy Madeline for five days while we went to visit our son. Jacob has the cutest four little kids in the universe. He sent me pictures of his kids playing with the puppy while we were on our trip which was so fun to have. Jacob reinforce the behavior training that we’ve been working on like no jumping, no getting on furniture etc. Jacob is a great guy and I would not hesitate to book again with him.
