Pet care experience

Athletic dog lover in the PNW

I grew up on a farm with 2 labs and have always had a special love for the canine friends. Since I’ve moved to the city I’ve missed my dogs and taking them on walks so I thought I’d sign up for this and meet some dog friends that need some company, I love all types of breeds and sizes. High energy dogs are not a problem for me at all, as I love going on runs with dogs and also playing at the park. I work a couple blocks away from where I live so it wouldn’t be a problem for me to watch your dogs while at work, since I could pop in to check on them and feed/let them use the bathroom. Thank you for looking, -Jacob I work flexible hours so I can work around any pet schedules I’m usually home till 12, and come back for lunch around 3 and then get off work usually 6-8pm but I set my own hours so it’s flexible for your dogs needs (: I have a house within walking distance to the park, I can take your dog on 2-3 walks per day and can also crate the dog if needed.

Jacob accepted our last minute request to look after our two dogs. He was polite and attentive, following the instruction we left behind for their routine. Jacob made sure to send pictures and updates of the dogs during our trip. It was greatly appreciated! ^_^ Very grateful!

Jacob did a great job watching my 2 dogs. He followed all my care instructions and sent me a written update and pictures of the dogs going on a walk every day. He was very responsive to messaging. The pups were very happy when I picked them up.

Jacob was great and did exactly what I told him to do while I was away. My dog appeared happy when I got home.

Jacob was communicative, attentive, followed directions for medication, and made sure they got plenty of exercise. Boys were happy when we picked them up :) Would definitely recommend him and plan on using him again for our boys!

I work close to home so I will always be 10-15 mins away and can pop in and check on the animals I set up to 3 times in a single workday before arriving home for the night.
