Highlights
Pet care experience
Looking to play and care for dogs!
I’ve always had dogs in my life! I love how kind they are once you’ve shown them kindness. I enjoy going on walks, playing games with them, and letting them do their own thing as well. I have worked with children in the past and large group of dogs before! Thank you for looking at my profile!
Cat care experience
Jakob also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I think all dogs have their own interest, depending on their personality I’ll either be with the dog all the time or let them relax and hangout with me if they want to! I generally enjoy just sitting with dogs or passively playing fetch with them!
Ratings and reviews
Jake was a fantastic sitter, and a fantastic communicator. He took lots of photos and gave detailed updates. He took special attention to the interactions between the cats, and updated us on every dosage of medication. He took over and successfully completed a relatively complicated daily routine, asking lots of questions, making clarifications, and sending thorough updates. He provided plenty of enrichment for them, including playing (with their preferred toys) with them, and walking my cat after some stressful situations to help him cool off, and that other times just to provide enrichment. He took great care of my home while I was gone. I highly recommend this Jake for your pet care needs!
Jakob was willing to watch my dogs on very short notice. He provided loving care and the dogs seemed very happy and comfortable with him. I would rebook him if needed again.
Love the care that Jakob provided for my dogs! I was very nervous to leave my dogs, (one is a deaf 15 year old cocker spaniel and the other is blind diabetic lab). A boarding facility is not a good idea for them, since they have such special needs and require alot of one on one care. I hired Jakob to care for them and he was amazing! He kept me updated and was quick to respond to my (many) check ins. He kept Sam (my sweet lab) on schedule with his insulin and feedings. He was so patient with them, and I could tell that he really cared. Both dogs require alot of patience and love, and Jakob was a perfect fit. I highly recommend him!
Jake house sat for us for a week last summer, and he did an excellet job not just taking care of our home but also our two cats -- one is elderly and a bit cranky, the other is more rambunctious but requires daily meds. When we returned home both were well cared for and our house was clean, too.

Schedule
I am graduating from the University of Washington this June, so the pet care would fit around my very light in class schedule. If I am not walking or taking immediate care of the dogs and they are relaxing on their own I will likely be finishing my personal undergraduate reserach projects!
