Jack and his associate were so great at caring for our 2 dogs! They kept us updated each visit and were very dependable. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing the dogs were in great hands! The dogs were happy and healthy when we got back. We will definitely use Jack next time we travel. He seems to really care about our pets.

Jack did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs and cat. Also very happy that he successfully administered injections for our diabetic dog.

A+ experience. I was away for 11 days. My cat typically does not eat very well while I'm gone, and I was concerned about her losing weight. I came home to happy, content and well fed cat. I will not hesitate to call Jack next time I need someone to watch her. In fact, I may get a second pet now that I know they will be in good hands. Thanks Jack!!

This meeting is crucial to my giving your pets exactly the type of care you want me to provide in your absense.

Enrolled in certification course offered by Pet Sitters International.

I have been a home remodeling/repair contractor for 25+ years before going into the pet care business in January, 2014.
