Vet's son working from home

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs, both my own and around my dad's vet clinic. Moving to the city has meant not having them around for the first time in my life, so hanging out with your dogs is as much for my own sanity as anything else! I currently work remotely and live in a large apartment, so I have a lot of flexibility in how and when I'm available to help you out. I'm also a runner and pretty big guy who likes to get out of the house, so bring on your high-energy and large breeds, as well as the little guys. Spending most of my life close to a veterinary practice and horse farms means that I have a good touch with most animals I meet, and while it doesn't mean I'm medically trained, you can trust that your dog is in good hands no matter the circumstances. I'm excited to meet you all!

Jake is just one of those people that all dogs like. His dad is a large animal vet and he grew up around animals, and he just seems to know what they want. Jake was my roommate when I broke my hip last year and was suddenly unable to take care of my dog, Mr. T (a grumpy little 13 year old). He walked him three times a day for MONTHS, without asking for anything in exchange, and was better at it than I ever was. They always tried to take a new route, stopped to explore whatever was exciting, and came home happy. He also could always manage to get mr. t to put on his snow booties, harness, and winter coat, which was (to say the least) a VERY impressive feat.

The best thing about Jake is that he truly loves dogs! You can tell he really loves spending time with animals. He is always prompt and reliable and takes his dog responsibilities seriously. He doesn't even mind the rain! Jake has cared for my dogs for years and he is always patient and kind with them. I highly recommend him as a pet sitter and dog walker.

I live on the corner of a park and a few blocks from Ridgewood Cemetery, so those are a local go-to. Anywhere I travel to take care of your dog, I'll be looking for places to get off the street and explore. And if they're excited about running or fetch, so am I!
