Ratings and reviews
Jake is a great lad who accommodates very well for your dogs individual needs. Great location for walks and really makes sure he is keeping in touch during the stay. Thanks again and would definitely recommend to others.
Floyd has been with Jake for 18 days! And Jake has cared for him wonderfully. Jake sent photos, videos and voice notes and i could see how much floyd felt at home and how content he was. Thank you Jake! 😊
Jake looked after our dog for a week. Plenty of communication and pics while we were away. Jake is great with dogs and they love him. Odin hates the car gets stressed and drools all over but he went to sleep in Jake’s car after a day out. It’s the first time I’ve used a dog sitter and it won’t be the last, it’s so much easier than trying to co-ordinate the rest of the family everyday from hols. Thanks Jake Odin had a great time.
Jake Just took care of our 3 year old black Lab Gus and was just the job. Took care of all Gus's needs, communication was excellent. We've used Jake before and will again. I'd recommend him highly.
Jake was amazing with poppy, im sure poppy is missing him. He kept me updated every day and was very reassuring. Thanks Jake!
Thanks again Jake. Oscar is very comfortable with you and you are very accommodating to him. Will be back!

Schedule
I am an online English as Second Language Teacher who works from home Monday-Saturday. I make sure to give myself at least a one hour break throughout the day which will give me time to give your furry friends care and attention. I also live a stone's throw from Saltwell Park so going for midday and evening walks will not be a problem!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a walled yard with fake grass and some plants which pets are welcome to use. They are also able to go on the sofas and sleep on the bed if they wish. Plenty of fuss and attention, as well as daily walks, are guaranteed. I have a stairgate installed in my kitchen which also blocks off the only steps in my house for if your dog has any trouble with stairs. You are, of course, welcome to message me anytime (here or on WhatsApp/text) and I am also happy to call or even videochat if you want to see you dog whilst you're away! I will send regular updates to let you know how everything is going! I also have my own set of flexi-leads, dog food and water bowls and poo bags but I am happy to use the owner's equipment if preferred. The only things that I would need are food, treats, medications, baskets and perhaps some toys as well as a litter tray and litter for cats. I am also trained in dog first-aid (please see certificate in photos). I do have a live-in tenant in my home. He likes dogs a lot and is always made aware of when the next dog is coming. All of the responsibilities regarding pet-care are for me to handle though.
A typical day
Plenty of love and attention, at least one walk a day for dogs, treats and meals based on owners' preferences, time spent together in the evenings; all the good stuff!
