Ratings and reviews
Jake was great! I had no worries leaving my puppy with him.
Jake took the time to learn about our dog to make sure she was comfortable and had what she needed during her time with him. He was responsive and accommodating and most of all, our dog loved him and felt safe with him. We would definitely book with Jake again!
Jake was great with Philly! He was very attentive and communicated with me regularly to make sure he was doing all he could to make sure Philly was comfortable. I highly recommend Jake and will definitely use him again in the future.
Jake was really responsive and attentive to cherry during her short stay with him. We appreciated all of the questions. He asked to make sure that Cherry would be the most comfortable and while taking care of, and hope to work with Jake again in the future. Thank you, Jake!
We really appreciate the peace of mind Jake provided for us, by ensuring Kenya was well taken care of while we went out to play. He arrived on time, followed all of our protocols for feeding time and took her for a nice long walk. He added a bit of bonus play after they returned and then put her safely back in her crate. He even left a light on in the kitchen for her so she wouldn't have to sleep in the dark. LOL And he sent us photos of each step along the way. We will definitely reach out to him when we have the need again.
Jake was absolutely amazing in every way! From drop off to pick up, Jake was responsive, professional, and a pleasure to communicate with. My dog had such a great day filled with lots of love, attention, exercise, and fun - he would also give Jake a five star review if he could!! Jake kept me up to date on all their activities, which was greatly appreciated. Would highly recommend Jake and will definitely be back whenever we are in the area!

Schedule
I am currently doing a part time at home internship and could use any excuse to stretch my legs every once in a while for a walk around the park. And nothing makes the workday go by faster than a cute supportive furry friend to keep you company.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood with multiple parks and hiking trails within just a mile of my apartment. I have plenty of toys to keep the pups busy or if they prefer some alone time they can lay down under my desk. I am very comfortable handling even very large breeds no matter how rowdy or stubborn and have experience caring for ‘intact’ dogs, seniors, anxious, and aggressive dogs so can handle any of their specific quirks and needs.
A typical day
We have plenty of hiking trails and dog friendly parks around for high energy dogs. For senior or anxious dogs my home is in a very quiet neighborhood if they need a place to relax. I have taken classes on animal behavior and enrichment and pride myself on designing and making fun, physically and intellectually stimulation puzzles and games for pups of all ages, sizes, and tendencies.

- I have basic veterinary training and have worked with all sorts of dogs with different medical, physical, and mental needs. From administering medicine to ensuring the dog is kept in a safe environment catered to their specific needs. If your dog is NOT NEUTERED let me know ahead of time so I can ensure I take proper precautions and supervise their interactions with other dogs very carefully. If your dog is aggressive I am willing to take them if you agree to meet me in person beforehand to show me what precautions need to be taken to ensure everyone’s safety.
