Pet care experience

A reliable guy your pets will like

I've had dogs pretty much my whole life, from 7 years old to the present. I've had a Bearded Collie, a Chinese crested powder puff, and as of the last 5 years I have a teddy bear (shih-tzu/bichon designer breed mix). I've also done dog walking and care taking for friends and people in the neighborhood over the years, in addition to feeding cats and changing out litter boxes while their owners were on vacation. So if needed, I can do drop-ins for cats as well. I've always gotten along great with dogs and have always been well liked by those I've met. One thing that sets me apart from many others on here is I also have experience with reptiles and can take care of them as well when you're out of town if you have any as pets. I can take care of various insectivore and herbivore lizards, turtles, tortoises, ball pythons, and certain types of collubrid snakes. I can make sure their heat and lighting is on, have water, and feed them while you're away. It would just be charged as a drop-in visit. So for dogs, cats, or reptiles, I'm a very reliable guy who your pets will like taking them for walks and coming by for drop-ins. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: I have my radius I'm willing to drive set at 10 miles. But anything outside of a 5 mile radius is subject for additional fees for time and gas.

Jake followed directions well and I'd use him again. It's so nice to know there is someone like Jake that I can trust with my dog and is local. Jake quickly replies and is a great communicator.

Jake did a great job! Showed up on short notice for a time consuming week watching my dogs and did a fantastic job. Always kept me informed. Would highly recommend Jake

My sister has a silky-coated wheaten terrier that she frequently leaves with me and my family because she travels a lot. But even we aren't always able to be at the house and need outside assistance sometimes. I've known Jake since 2011 and have seen how reliable he is with getting places where he's needed and what good care he takes of his own dog. That's why we turn to him as our first choice of anyone to take care of walking and feeding the dog whenever we can't be there for her--and we have no regrets!
