Will follow your routine if your pet's have excersize needs, feeding habits, medication schedules. I usually only go out if I need to go to the grocery store. Your pet is my number one priority and I am focused on that

Information Jakob L. would like to know about your pet

If you have anything you want to tell me about your dog that I should know, then let's work together and make sure we have plans or just something I should be aware of so I can have the proper environment for you pet.

A typical day

If you have an athletic dog who loves to go on runs. I can keep up with them and make sure they get their exercise and energy out. If you have an older senior dog. I am patient and allow them to take all the time they need and explore around. I'm always with the dogs and don't like being away too long. I love taking pictures of videos that my clients will enjoy!

Pet care experience

Hi there, I'm Jake, and I've been working with dogs for the last 4 years. With my boarding you are getting more than quality care, i'm here to offer positive reinforcement training, private care, cook meals, and keep your dog active. I have a passion for working with dogs, I believe safety, mindfulness and making your dog(s) have a home they can feel safe is the most important priority. Let's work together and make your dog's stay the best one possible!

I absolutely love using Jake. He is always my first choice sitter for Buster! Jake has been incredibly communicative and proactive. He always reaches out beforehand to make sure he has everything he needs, which makes drop-off so easy and stress-free. What really sets Jake apart is how natural he is with dogs. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and Buster picks up on that energy immediately. Every single time we pick Buster up, he’s happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time. Honestly, I think Buster gets more excited to see Jake than he does to see us come home! The updates are another huge plus. Jake sends tons of photos and videos throughout the stay, so I always know exactly how Buster is doing. It gives me so much peace of mind while I’m out of town knowing that Buster isn’t just being looked after, he’s genuinely having a blast. I never have to worry or wonder. If you’re looking for a sitter who truly cares about your dog and treats them like their own, Jake is your guy. We can’t recommend him enough!!

Jakob was amazing! He was incredibly responsive and kept us updated throughout our trip. He gave our girl her medicine every morning without any issues and has a wonderful, safe space for dogs. He took her on walks and made sure she was well taken care of. We’ll definitely be using him again!

This is the second time Jake has watched Buster! Jake is simply the best. He always exceeds my expectations in both communication and overall care for my dog. Jake is incredibly attentive and proactive about communication, keeping me updated with regular photos and notes, which put my mind at ease while I was traveling. Jake genuinely cares about my dog’s well being and my dog’s exercise / feeding routine was maintained perfectly. I highly recommend Jake and he is my first go to, whenever I go out of town. Thank you for giving Buster a fun week and making my time away worry free!!
