Information Jacob W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what to feed your dog, where the food is located, if your dog is on any medications, has any medical conditions, allergies, and behavioral quirks. Is your dog okay being handled in every way or is he sensitive about his paws or tail or being picked up or rolled on his back? Does your dog need space when he's eating or when he has his favorite toy? Do you want pictures sent to you during the stay?

A typical day

My back yard is huge and has a lot to explore. I will play fetch, frisbee, tug of war, or any other game your dog enjoys. There is a trail behind my house that dogs love to walk on and a dog park nearby with ability equipment.

Experienced trainer with a farm

Pet care experience

I've helped and trained animals for years for the Humane Society, Broward County Animal Care, and other rescue groups. I live on a farm with a lot space. I have experience working with large breeds like mastiffs, great danes, and rottweilers, and small breeds too. I also administer medical treatment - shots, bandaging, pills, insulin, temperature checks and respond to emergencies like bloat. I work full time at home on my computer and I pay attention and exercise the dogs throughout the day. I will play their favorite games and try to get their energy out. I remain open to communication and pet intakes all day even when working. I can respond to text based communication mostly immediately. I do have occasional meetings and in that case I would respond to a call with a text message or email instead. I live on a farm with lots of fenced in space for dogs to run around and explore. If you look at the first picture, the property extends well past the first fence. There is a long trail back there. Dogs will be walked the number of times you ask for but no less than three times a day, fed twice a day, given continuous water unless they're on a water schedule. For boarding in my home: your dogs will get their own room with their beds, toys, bowls, and everything that makes them comfortable. They will get attention throughout the day and go out to exercise. I watch from one Rover family at a time. I keep your dogs completely separated from my own dogs. The horses stay across the fence and the dogs enjoy meeting them. Keeping your dogs separate is the safest approach to dog boarding and works well for almost every dog. For dogs with severe separation anxiety, please ask about my in-home dog sitting service. If your dog is well socialized you might consider other dog sitters who put unknown dogs together. It's risky but it can help with separation anxiety. For services in your home: I will look after your pets and your home. I can bring in mail, water plants, adjust the thermostat, etc.

Five stars!!! We left our rescue pitty Betsy with Jacob for two weeks recently and have nothing but positive things to say about the experience. Betsy went for a meet and greet and took to Jacob right away, so much so that when we dropped her off for her stay she went right with him and didn't look back. He has a huge yard and sent plenty of photo updates of her running around, we could see she was really enjoying herself while we were overseas. This was our first time leaving her and she had a blast, we will most definitely have Jacob watch our pup again.

Jacob was great and treated our dog Bailey very well. He watched Bailey for a long weekend and we could tell Bailey had a great time.

Jacob was great! We first did a meet and greet to see if he was a good fit for our boys. Then we had a test night and that went well. Then when our trip came around, he sent updates. Our boys love him. I’ve already shared his information with all of my friends. Our boys were really shy before going to Jacob’s and now they are not as shy. Thank you Jacob! We will be using you again.
