Can Run With Your Dog Too!

Pet care experience

I have raised dogs my entire life and have a special connection with them. I know how special they are to us, so getting to work with them really is a dream come true for me! Unfortunately, my own dog was killed by a hit and run just over a year ago, but that’s only made me want me to give back to the pups in our lives that much more. Getting to provide them with the love they need to thrive is so rewarding for me, so your pup will always be in good hands when they’re under my care. In addition to being a dog owner, I also have experience working with dogs in a professional capacity as well. I have been a professional dog walker and boarder in the Buckhead area, and have loved every second of it! I’ve learned a lot from my canine companions, and always look forward to taking care of new pooches. I’ve also done some volunteer work in animal shelters and have always felt a real connection with the dogs that I took care of there. I currently don’t have any dogs of my own right now, so that means your pup will have my undivided attention! When taking on a new pooch, I typically like to schedule a meet and greet. It’s a great opportunity to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, plus we get to chat face-to-face about the best way to take care of your best friend. After all, no one knows them better than you do! I find that it’s always a good idea to make friends with your pooch before taking them under my care, as they know beforehand that I’m a friend and a welcome presence. During the meet, I’ll let them come to me and make friends at their speed. All the while, we’ll be discussing some of the most important aspects of care for your pooch! When your pup is under my care, you can be rest assured that my number one priority is in making you and your best friend feel completely comfortable and well taken care of. Firstly, I always provide regular, daily updates with accompanying pictures so you can see how much fun we’re having! But I am also very easy to reach in case anything arises or if you have any questions. For your pooch, their happiness and safety is my number one concern! I know dogs are creatures of habit, so I always like to stick to the schedule that they’re used to at home. That also means following instructions to a “T” so they feel like they’re in an environment that they’re used to.

Jake was so great with my fur children! They had so much fun with them and I received photo and video updates reflecting their adventures! I trust Jake to watch my puppies again and highly recommend him!

We use Jake to care for our fur babies all the time! He is so wonderful with our two dogs, Frankie and Cash. He has even taken care of our rabbit! Jake is very loving and playful, our dogs love when he comes. He is very reliable and trustworthy, and I feel he really enjoys the time he spends with our pets. I can count on him not only to take take them, but really play and spend time with them; he always does what we ask. I would recommend him to any family to help with their four legged family members!

I highly recommend Jake Williams as a dog sitter. He helped me care for my beagle, Butch for quite a few years. I know he has cared for other dogs as well. He’s very loving and caring and very reliable. He would not only walk and bathe my dog he taught him to do tricks and fetch a ball and respond to many other commands too. Jake has an outgoing personality and everyone that knows Jake loves him because he truly loves life and he especially loves animals and children!! I am sure You will be very pleased that you’ve hired Jake.

Jake has taken care of our Skip for vacation as well as weekends. He is always courteous and skip walks right in as if he lives with Jake all the time. Jake also helped train Skip on a few new tricks.

Information Jake W. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

I will be home with your pooch all throughout the day, so the world truly is our oyster! I don’t have any other animals, so your pup will have my undivided attention. I am a former college athlete, so getting plenty of exercise is definitely on the menu! I know that a healthy dog is a happy dog, so I’m fully content to get lots of walks and runs in with them. I love to spend time in nature, so we’ll make sure to do some exploring in the outdoors whenever possible! I live right near Grant Park, which is an amazing hub for activity. We’ll meet tons of friends along the way for sure!
