Pet care experience

Treating your pets like my own!

My name is Jacob. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I started pet sitting when I was in elementary school, when our neighbors would go on vacation I would care for their dogs, cats, fish etc. I have had many beloved pets growing up. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends! Many people thought my family was crazy for having so many! But I couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness to my family's life. Seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! I can't wait to meet you and your pets :) **COMPLEMENTRY FREE TRIAL DAY FOR BOARDING** ** ATTN: MALE DOG OWNERS** If your dog has an issue with marking in our house we will be forced to put a belly band on him [aka doggie diaper for male dogs] During the trial stay we can evaluate what their behavior is in the house and if the marking is an issue or not. If this is something you are ok with and everything else works out great! If this is an issue for you then I am probably not the right fit for your fur baby and that’s ok! No hard feelings 😊 My top priority is that the dogs I care for are safe and enjoying their time while staying with me. In order to ensure that I offer a free "trial day" before their first stay. That's where you drop your dog off, let them hang out with me for a couple hours getting a chance to get familiar with my environment. After getting to meet some new friends and lots of new smells you pick up the dog and I can fill you in on how they did. This a requirement before first stay.

Schedule

I am currently working from home full time. Until further notice I will be home the majority of the day with your pets. If house sitting depending on how my workload looks I can normally bring my laptop with me over to your house during the stay. Heavier workloads require me to work from my desktop. Also, I am a new mom so overnight stays at your house are not possible. I can stay with them all day most days and during the weekend but not overnight. I work from home full time so I will be with your pet pretty much all day everyday. The only time they would be left alone is if I have plans for dinner etc or need to run an errand/s I have a fenced yard and two other dogs of my own for them to play with. I try and make their stay as similar to their own environment as possible! I am home everyday with your fur babies. I work from home so besides running errands or maybe dinner I will be home all day.
