Availability
I am currently working full time as a graduate student so my schedule is skewed toward weekend booking starting Friday afternoon/evening through Sunday evening. That being said, I am able to make exceptions depending on the specific situation, so please feel free to reach out if you are at all interested!

Safety, trust & environment
I'm only able to offer pet car in the client's home at this time. However, I strive to ensure pets are as comfortable at home with me as they are with their owners, and try to re-create the home schedule that they are used to with their owner, including meal times, walks and bathroom break, and cuddle and play time. I make sure to keep owners in the loop with pictures/videos and 1-2 updates per day. Additionally, I strive to leave the home as clean and tidy as when I arrived, so the owner wouldn't even know I was there.
Information Jake L. would like to know about your pet
The most important thing I would want to know is how the dog gets along with other dogs. Do they play well with others or are they more of a people dog? I definitely have a soft spot for labs!
A typical day
When walking dogs, I like to try and mix up the route each time so they have new sights, smells, and sounds! My personal favorite activity to do with dogs is to bring them to the dog park. I think it's a great place for them to run wild in a contained environment and to meet new friends, not to mention a great exercise.

Pet care experience
I've had a dog in my life for the past 17 years and have loved every second of it. Dogs truly are god's gift to man, and I try to do everything in my power to allow them to have the most engaging and enjoyable experiences possible. For the past year and a half, my family has been fostering dogs until they are adopted. Because of this, I have experience watching over and entertaining all kinds of different breeds of dogs with different attitudes and levels of energy, usually multiple dogs at once. With the services I offer (house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking) I will make sure each dog gets individual attention, proper care, and of course loads of affection. I enjoy playing with dogs, cuddling with dogs, wrestling with dogs, playing fetch with dogs, taking them to dog parks, and anything else they could possibly desire. When taking care of your dog, you can be confident that your dog will be in a loving and fun-filled environment.
Reviews
Jake was an exceptional house and pet sitter. From the start, he asked thoughtful questions that made it clear he wanted to understand our pets' routines and needs. Throughout our trip, he was communicative, reliable, and proactive, sending frequent updates and plenty of photos that gave us real peace of mind. While we were away, we even had a dead fire alarm battery issue, and Jake handled it with ease, keeping us informed and taking care of the situation without any stress on our end. We came home to happy pets, a well-cared-for house, and the confidence that everything had been in great hands. Jake was a wonderful guest, and we would gladly welcome him back anytime. Highly recommend!
Jake was great with my rambunctious chocolate lab. I will look for him again the next time I am in town.
Jake has watched our senior dog twice and is great!
Jake took great care of our animals and our house while we were away. He shared daily status updates that gave us peace of mind. We will not hesitate to ask Jake to take care of our pets again soon!
