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.

Information Jake M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about medications or special accommodations for any dog, cat or other animal. Let me know if they’re dog friendly or people friendly as well.

A typical day

I’m a very active person. I will go on a lot of walks. If there’s a backyard or a lot of space I will play catch and tug of war and even if there’s not I always find a way to keep the animals active. Unless they prefer to be more relaxed then that’s okay with me too.

Jake took very good care of Izzy and, more importantly, made me feel confident that he was being cared for while I was away. Very responsive and kept me up to date on how my pet was doing in my absence. Received just the right amount of reports and information I was expecting. Highly recommend Jake as a caring and responsible sitter.

We had an amazing experience with Jake! From the start, he was extremely communicative, which immediately helped us feel confident and at ease. He followed every request we had for Ollie and his little, it was very clear Jakr genuinely cared about making sure Ollie felt comfortable and happy. We received updates throughout the visit, which we really appreciated, and it was so reassuring to know that Ollie was in such kind and capable hands. Our pup can be a little particular, but seemed like he warmed up quickly, which says a lot about the care and patience he was shown. Overall, we’re incredibly grateful to have found someone so reliable, attentive, and compassionate. We will absolutely be booking with Jake again, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker who truly goes above and beyond for your furry family member!

Jake truly goes above and beyond!! Our house was left immaculate and I could tell our dog is happy :) He was in constant communication with me and sent a ton of pictures. We had a crazy house situation while he was dog sitting and he totally helped us through it. I can't thank him enough!!
