Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets with love. I am very safe with animals. I follow directions thoroughly. I am a clean and organized person as well. If an animal needs to be cleaned up after or crated before I leave then that will be done. Any special requests I accept. Some clients have special ways to make their animal food which I can accommodate to. I am licensed in security so the animals and house will always be in good hands.

Jake took fantastic care of our 3 pups this past week while my spouse was traveling and I was at work. Each day he stopped by to let them out, give them food and water and give them some love and attention. Every day he cleaned the pups bowls and left their items right where they initially were. Very impressed with the care and level of detail he provided with check-ins and photos. Highly recommend using Jake’s services when conflicts arise and you need someone you can trust taking care of your beloved fur babies. Actually plan on using Jake again in the near future.

House Sitting • Sep 03, 2026

We booked Jake at the last minute to housesit with our two dogs after my husband and I unexpectedly had to travel for work. Jake responded immediately and quickly set up a time to come meet us and, most importantly, the dogs. They took to him right away! From the start, Jake was incredibly attentive and detail-oriented, asking thoughtful questions and making sure he understood all of their routines and specific care instructions. While we were away, he kept in touch throughout the day and sent us daily pictures, which gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. When we arrived home, the house was absolutely spotless, the dogs were happy and relaxed—and honestly seemed a little disappointed that their new friend Jake wasn’t there anymore! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Jake for both drop-in visits and house sitting. We will absolutely be using him again!

Love Jake! He’s always going the extra mile with our rowdy puppy. Jake try’s to teach and train him, gives him puzzles to work his silly puppy brain, & is always in communication with him!
