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.

Information Jacob Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs and accommodations I should know about. I am happy to help the dogs however they need.

A typical day

I will throw the ball for them or play tug of war if that's what they want to do. If they're the calmer type then we'll just stay inside and I'll pet them.

Pets

Dogs are very important to me

Pet care experience

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.

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.
