Jake has cared for our elderly dog numerous times when we are out of the country and he is just the best. He provides loving care, makes sure she has all her medications and takes her on all the walks she wants. He keeps us updated at least once a day, with wonderful photos and details of their day. Jake also takes great care of our home. To have someone who is so reliable and kind to care for our girl when we are halfway around the world is a blessing.

Jake was once again amazing! He was so communicative the entire time and sent so many pictures and videos while he was with our pup. You can really tell he cares for animals and loves what he does! We will definitely be booking him in the future to watch our Juneau girl!

A brief summary of your pets routine and potty habits will help me keep things familiar. If your pets have any activity restrictions or safety concerns, please let me know so I can keep them safe. It also helps to know some of your pets favorite foods and activities so I can keep them engaged while you’re away!
