PAWS-ITIVE PETS

Pet care experience

I've always had dogs in my household growing up, and now I'm a dog owner myself. I have experience with about all types- hyper, lazy, calm, social, dogs who have been abused/ neglected. With having experience with dogs across all boards, the one trait that is essential for dog-care is patience. In terms of tangible experience, I've logged an immense load of hours volunteering on farms back home in Georgia and have pet-sit for multiple friends and family. I'm a huge advocate for exercise and fitness, so if you decide to leave your pet with me, you can expect a tired pup in return. A little more about me: -College graduate from University of Massachusetts- Lowell -Currently a Professional Hockey Player -Lover of all animals -Own two dogs If you are at all worried that your pet won't get enough love or attention under my care, please don't! I've got so much love to give.

My husband and I came across a reference to Jake’s rover dog boarding services and decided to reach out. He responded immediately to our messages. Despite it being five days out, Jake was more than happy to assist us. My husband and I are very particular about boarding facilities and dog sitters but we read Jake’s super detailed profile and was super impressed. When we met Jake and his two boys, we knew immediately that our dog, Cooper was in good hands. The fact that Jake has two dogs that were similar sizes to Cooper, we knew right away Cooper wasn’t going to be lonely while we were away. We were slightly nervous because cooper is typically anxious when he’s not physically with us but Jake followed every little instruction we gave him and also reached out to us to give us updates...without us asking for one. That meant the most to us because he knew we were curious but we didn’t want to come off as helicopter Pawrents. When we picked up Cooper, he was super happy to see us but also exhausted from his nice little weekend getaway! Overall, we are beyond satisfied and grateful for how well he took care of our little man and will for sure use him again in the near future.

Jake did an amazing job! Everything was done exactly as asked and I will definitely continue having him watch my pet when I’m out of town.

If there’s one person you want to trust you dog with, it’s Jake! He has the biggest heart when it comes to animals and will treats yours like his own. He is extremely good about sending updates and photos of your dog. He listens to your exact needs... You know when you have some of those family members who dog sits for you and gives your dog let’s say food from the table and that’s not something you allow? He makes sure of that. He meets your needs and expectations.

Jake has watched my 1.5 year old Golden Retriever, Luna, on multiple occasions and does a great job! He’s very knowledgeable, loving, caring, and responsible! He takes into consideration my needs, as well as my dogs needs, and goes above and beyond to make sure he exceeds our expectations! I would highly recommend Jake and will definitely be using his services again!
