The dog whisperer.
Pet care experience
Hello, I’m Jacob and I cannot wait to meet the four-legged member(s) of your family! I give lots of personal attention to the dogs in my care and love to provide them with plenty of exercise and play. I can handle big dogs, mouthy puppies, and anything in between. Leash training and obedience training are a couple of my specialties. If your pup is shy or nervous, I let them acclimate at their own pace—they’ll be getting a hearty belly rub in no time. Senior dogs, dogs with special needs, and energy-crazed dogs are well within my purview too. I pay special attention to their body language and have been told I possess an intuitive sense of “the canine mind.” I often think dogs are easier to read than people—ultimately, they just want love! (Although my experience is mostly with dogs, I have no qualms about accepting bookings for cats or other animals—I am eager to gain more experience!)
Reviews
Nucky loved doing zoomies with Jacob! Thank you!
I can’t begin to describe how happy I am that we found Jacob! Gino loves him and they have many adventures together. 11/10 stars if I could!
Always timely and really spends quality time with the pups!
Jacob was great with my pup. He’s easy to communicate with and went above and beyond. Thank you!
About Jacob Z.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For sittings, I am very tidy and self-sufficient, and I guarantee that the homes of my clients will be left in mint condition! Don’t hesitate to communicate any chores around your home that I can tend to. I’d love to know your pet’s full routine so they are right in rhythm while under my care. If your pet is at my house, they are honorary members of the family for the duration of their stay, including furniture and bed privileges. I can also guarantee that they will be left tired and satisfied. Activities include playing in the backyard or at a nearby park, walking around my quiet neighborhood, or a scenic drive and hike at the local woods if your pet is so inclined.
Home
Information Jacob Z. would like to know about your pet
Communicating any particular quirks, habits, or needs of your pet(s) is the most important thing—especially those health-related. I am confident that I can take good care of any dog or other animal as long as I know what to expect. Let me know of any skills or behaviors your pet is working on too—I am happy to help them with their homework.
A typical day
When a dog is up for it, I love to take them with me on a hike or run. Getting off the beaten path to some woodland trails is especially rewarding for the both of us (the Middlesex Fells is my bread & butter). In addition, I am an expert at both fetch and tug-of-war. Once they are all tuckered out, my whiskered clients can often be found snoozing on the couch as we watch Boston sports together. I’ll even brush their teeth!

Availability
I have full-time availability for pet care. Whether it’s walks, runs, boarding/daycare, an overnight sitting at your home, 8 guinea pigs with specialized diets—I do it all. I aim to be very flexible and responsive so my clients know that I am prioritizing the needs of their beloved pets. My camera roll is mostly pictures and videos of the dogs I hang out with, so I can always update owners with the latest footage.
