Student Who Runs With Pups!

Pet care experience

I’ve had experience with various dog breeds and various sizes and ages, and I think something that almost every dog has in common is that, regardless of temperament, each dog wants to feel special and loved. As a walker and a dog-sitter, I would bring fun and energy to the dogs that need it, and calmness and caring to those who don’t. My dog, Gronk has been in our family for the past two years, since he was a puppy, and that, coupled with my past dog sitting skills for all my aunts and uncles’ pets, has taught me discipline and patience, and giving me a sense of adventure that I could bring to caring for your pet. I live an active lifestyle, and would be able to walk - or even run - with your pet to give it the exercise he or she needs. I’m a student, so I would be balancing my pet care services with my class schedule, but my courseload is minimal this year, so I’m available most afternoons. As Gronk has taught me, being a dog owner is all about being flexible, and for every dog I’ve cared for, I’ve found that I’ve been able to quickly learn their needs, and give them the highest quality care possible.

Jakob has done a phenomenal job with Gronk ever since we got him in the fall! He always takes the time to go on much-needed walks around the neighborhood with him, and always has treats readily available! Jakes works really well in continuing our family training plan, and Gronk is always so happy to see him when he comes in the door for his visits! I’ve always said he should become a dog walker or sitter or something, so I’m glad to see he’s going to care for other people’s pups!

Jakob was my dog walker and sitter for a good amount of time, and my dog took a great liking to him. My dog Hooper would get really excited when Jakob would pick him up for their walk. He was very responsible with Hooper and always made sure that Hooper had fun.

Information Jakob H. would like to know about your pet

Just basic information at the start of each new client relationship would be helpful - existing health issues, medications if need be, up to date shots for the safety of myself and other dogs, as well as any special circumstances I should know about your pet. In addition to that, any commands you use with your dog or training regimens you want me to continue, I would be happy to continue and work on with your pet!

A typical day

Boston is my home, and I love all parts of the city! I love the Esplanade, the Back Bay Fens, the Common and the Commonwealth Avenue mall, and would take your pup to whatever Park is familiar in your neighborhood. I’m most certainly a runner, so if it’s extra cardio your dog needs, he/she can become my new workout partner!
