Safety, trust & environment

We have a closed in patio for fresh air while in the house, a large dog park within the community, just steps away from our townhouse and live close to several public parks and trails for walks during the day. Our Khloe passed away recently so we don’t have any other pets in our home for the time being. I have always been extremely cautious when taking care of my pets and when caring for friends’ pets so safety will be a top priority.

Information Jacob W. would like to know about your pet

I know each dog has a unique routine so I’m happy to repeat that routine exactly as you would while you’re away. Feel free to ask me to administer medication, take extra long walks, put on certain TV shows in the background or whatever it is that your dog needs and enjoys.

A typical day

I enjoy walking daily and it’s even more fun when you can bring a dog along! For older dogs that can’t walk as far we can also hang out on the patio for fresh air or play with their favorite toys.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of animals of all sizes since I was a kid. I was always the go to person to take care of friends’ and family’s pets while they were away. I’ve always had pets in my house growing up and got my first dog on my own at 19 while in college. My Khloe girl, a brindle Great Dane. She was one of a kind! She passed away recently but had such a great and long life! I’m not quite ready for a new pet because her passing has been very difficult but I am hoping to help take care of other’s pets to help fulfill that void for now.

Jacob was amazing. He is very quick to respond to messages. Both of my dogs felt right at home, almost immediately,with him. No signs of nervousness (extensive paw licking, lack of sleeping). And the cherry on top, Jacob took some great photos of the dogs (not an easy task).

I can’t recommend Jacob enough! He took such great care of my cat while I was away, providing daily check-ins that always gave me peace of mind. The updates were thorough and included adorable pictures of my cat that brightened my day. It was clear from the photos and messages, Jacob truly cared for my cat and made sure all his needs were met. He was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!

This was our second time using Jacob to care for our two, beloved dogs. It takes a lot for us to trust people with our pups, not to mention our home. Jacob is a quality person. Responsive and responsible, respectful. The 3 R's! We were so impressed when we returned home....everything was clean and tidy. He cared for our home as well as the pups. Thank you, Jacob, for the invaluable peace of mind you gave us to enjoy our vacation without worry. We are very grateful. Give our best to Mickey!
