Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jake was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Before the booking, he invited us to visit with our dog, Link, so he could get used to the environment, which really put our minds at ease. On our wedding day, Jake kept us updated with regular photos and messages, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy our special day knowing Link was happy, settled and in such safe hands. It was clear how much care and attention Jake gave him, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would highly recommend Jake to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and professional dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Link!
Ronnie had another great day with Jake. He had 2 walks and was very well looked after.
Ronnie had a great time with Jake, who sent loads of updates throughout the day, and was really friendly and easy to communicate with - will definitely book again.
Jake was amazing with my dog lenny, he stayed at my house (my request which jake kindly accepted) for 6 nights. Jake sent regular updates, pictures and videos everyday and lenny had a blast!! I would not hesitate to use jake again.
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! 😊

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!
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgTakes only 1 client at a timeJake can host up to 2 pets per night
- Please let me know any special needs your pets may have (specific feeding times, medications etc.) and any other information you feel may be necessary for me to know (body language to watch for, do they like to be picked up or not, do they get along with other dogs etc.) I live in a ground floor maisonette (please see photographs). There is a front gate plus the door to get into the house. The back door is always locked unless I go into the yard. In the backyard there is a wooden door which is padlocked at all times, apart from when I put my bins out (on Thursdays), so your pets will be very secure.
