“Jackson stayed with our dog, Kevin, while we were away for 10 days. He was diligent with making sure Kevin got a walk each visit and we got a cute picture of our obviously happy dog. It was reassuring to know that Kevin was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend Jackson for any pet sitting or dog walking. He was great!”

About: I've been around dogs all of my life, including my own and helping out neighbors. I've helped watch dogs from as small as a chihuahua up to a big lab. I am currently studying for my CPA and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around most odd times that would be inconvenient for most people. I can follow whatever routine is normal for your dog whether that means just letting them out in the yard, walking them, letting the dog roam free in the house, or crating them.
About: I helped raise my dog and my girlfriend’s dogs from puppyhood, and I also care for my 14-year-old dog back home. I’m experienced with both energetic pups and senior pets who need extra love and patience. Currently I am working part-time and that is in the mornings. So have a lot of time on my hands at the moment. Whatever works best for you! I live in an apartment, so lots of walks around the surrounding neighborhood or the little dog park next to me. I live just south of downtown Raleigh.
