Dogs are very important to me

I have 2 dogs at home back in Austin, one since late 2012, the other since early 2016. I've always gotten along well with dogs. I've found that most of them are very perceptive to who dog people are and they basically always recognize that in me.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I try to make sure my dogs get enough attention, and usually we can count on each other for emotional support when they wouldn't prefer to spend time with the other members of my family.

Jacob is a wonderful person he did everything I had asked him to do for Buttons, But I believe Jacob is not a good fit for cats. I explained that because Buttons is extremely shy & a scaredy Cat to just let her do her thing and when she's comfortable she will come to you, yet when viewing my cameras Jacob did just the opposite, he was literally antagonizing Buttons by putting something over his hand then continually jabbing it at Buttons then she would swat at Jacob. This broke my heart!!

Jacob Zipoy is a kind and consciousness young man that loves dogs. I have known Jacob since he was born and he has always been a good doggie companion.

I have known Jacob for the past 13 years. He is extremely friendly, reliable and most importantly has an extreme passion for dogs. Being an owner of two dogs himself, he easily creates a loving bond with every furry four-legged friend he meets. I highly recommend Jacob if you want your pet to get lots of attention and love while you are away!

Jacob is my son and he has a huge love of animals. He has a clean driving record and is always happy to meet new pets (especially dogs and cats). He would be a great fit for your company.
