When I think about the qualities that I look for in someone who is going to care for my dogs, Jake has them all (and more!) - he's reliable, flexible, trustworthy, energetic, respectful, and just pure FUN. He is an animal person at heart - one would say he's a bit of a golden retriever himself! Dogs are always excited to see him and he's creative at finding new ways to keep them active and engaged. I wouldn't hesitate to have Jake care for my dogs because I know they'll come home safe, loved, and exhausted (and you know they say a tired dog is a happy dog!)
