Love meeting new doggos!

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.

One of regular sitters. When our pup had a bad reaction to new meds, he went above and beyond to take excellent care of her. Such a comfort to know the pets are in great hands—even when things didn’t go smoothly

Jake took such good care of our dog, Axel. Our other old dog passed a few months ago, so Axel has been needy for attention. Jake made sure to spend a lot of quality time with Axel and sent a ton of cute pics so we knew how he was doing. He paid attention to our specific needs and checked in frequently. Don’t hesitate to use him to take care of your pets!

We just moved to Durham and felt really nervous about finding a new pet sitter to leave our two dogs and cat with however Jake was incredibly attentive and did a great job looking after our fur babies. He sent lots of updates and spent a lot of quality time at home with them. Our pets seemed to have loved playing with him. We’re happy to have found someone trustworthy and look forward to using his services again the future.

Great communication, responsive, daily pictures and updates and left the house in great order. Jake was very professional and met the dogs prior to and asked very good questions about their care and took notes. He was prompt both prior to and while caring for my dogs. During the stay he also asked questions about their behaviors be sure it was normal and my dogs were comfortable. Will definitely use him again.

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.
