Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Jake. I have always loved animals and I regularly take care of the 4 dogs, bearded dragon, potbelly pig, chickens, and rabbits that live at our house. I have experience volunteering at animal shelters and vet hospitals across the state and hope to one day become a veterinarian myself. I've also house-sit alpacas and goats previously. Additionally, as mentioned, my family owns four dogs, all of which are varying size and temperament. All of this has made me completely comfortable watching any kind of animal! My hours and pay are flexible and I can provide anything your pet may need- from medication to playtime to simple drop-ins. Please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm very anxious to meet the animals you call family.
Reviews
We were gone for a week to visit the Great Wolf Lodge and found Jake through our neighbor. Not only did he take amazing care of our three dogs with overnight stays, but also cleaned up the house and took out the trash before our arrival back home. He also made sure to send regular texts updating us on our dogs! Couldn't recommend enough!
