Information Maelee & Jacob S. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your dog is able to be left alone for short times and how they react to other animals. While we do not have pets, we do love going to the park with other dogs!

A typical day

We love being outdoors whenever possible, so at the very least we'll take your pups to Central Park. Our favorite lawn is dog friendly, so with your permission, we'd love to take them there. I also would love puppy company on my runs!

Pet care experience

My husband and I have both grown up with animals, from 7 lb Yorkies to 100 lb German Shepherds. My first dog was a Maltese named Magnolia, a sweet 10 year old rescue that I patiently worked with until her past years of abuse faded away. Jake grew up in a family of cats, dogs, and horses, so he is well accustomed to the many varying needs of animals. We frequently dog sit for our friends, and we both miss having a pet. So until it makes sense for us to get one, we'd love to watch yours in the meantime!

Our pup had a great stay with Maelee and Jacob! They were super responsive and sent us daily pics. They even accommodated our last minute change. Alfie will be back!

Maelee and Jacob are the best!!! They welcomed Smokey with open arms and were so kind. Maelee/Jacob were extremely responsive and were great when it came to making sure Smokey got all of her daily meds (she’s high maintenance lol) I am excited to have them as a resource for future trips/walks/as extra support!

Maelee & Jacob were so sweet with Dawson despite him being a little nervous as this was his first time without us since we got him. He could have not have kinder people taking care of him. We are so happy and Dawson had a blast. He came back happy and exhausted. Thank you both so much!!
