Hello! My name is Jake and I am an avid dog lover having cared for dogs for several years. I grew up with a chow, a german shepherd and a tibetan terrier, so I am familiar with a range of different dog personalities. Big, medium, small dogs - whatever you have I'm willing to care for! One of my particular skills with dogs is being able to read their mood. In a situation where a dog is getting antsy and/ stressed, I have the ability respond effectively and am often able to distract them or calm them down. If need be, I can be firm and direct or playful and carefree. I'm frequently available during the week as my job has flexible hours, and am around all hours on the weekends.
