Highlights
Pet care experience
Zoomies, Naps, & Good Vibes
I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs my entire life. At 18, I became a veterinary assistant and learned how to upgrade my level of knowledge and care for pets as well as learn how to take care of bunnies and a variety of reptiles. My veterinary knowledge and experience really helped my level of understanding pets in a multitude of ways whether it’s understand their social cues, behaviors, or even if there’s a medical episode happening which can be hard to notice. My current 2 dogs are both trained in which I personally trained one of them myself. Over the years, I’ve learned how to crate train dogs, correct behaviors the proper way, and trick-train. I do also know how to teach dogs a variety of words as a form of behavior training. I’ve also taken care of many senior dogs and cats, ranging from seniors with minimal health issues to a variety of health issues. I am skilled in administering medications as well. I also ensure that all the pets I take care of get lots of love, attention, and that they are in a stress and fear free environment.

Ratings and reviews
Jake H. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Jake is a very caring person and was great with Buster.
Jake was great. I could tell how caring & diligent he was from the time he scheduled a meet & greet to ensure our pups would jive. He was even patient enough to walk our tuggy doggo without her gentle leader. Would have loved to receive some pics/vids, but I think that had to do with a glitch in Rover.
Jake is a great dog sitter. He was so kind and compassionate in caring for our fur baby. Highly recommend!!
Jake is the best! My pup was well taken care of and I will definitely use him again.
Jake did a great job taking care of Clifford We definitely recommend him

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I do not have a fenced backyard so I will ensure anytime I take dogs outside, they are leashed. All dogs are allowed to free-roam in my house and if they need to be crated for some time, that is no problem. I am very attentive and observant of pets. I keep note of when pets in my home drink water so I know when they may need to go outside to use the bathroom next. I am also very cautious of the items in my household. There is nothing toxic or anything edible in reach of pets. All food and cleaning supplies is put away in a cabinet or pantry. I am also fully aware of the different foods that are toxic to different kinds of pets so I know what needs to be be locked away at all times. When traveling to a clients home, I ensure I spend quality time with their pets. I always inquire how much time a client would prefer me to spend with their pets so I can ensure that my clients pets are getting the best care possible.
Pets
A typical day
I love to play with all the pets I’m watching. We would play with toys, do fun tricks, run around, watch TV or animal documentaries, and much more. I also can take dogs to dog parks if allowed by the owner!
