About Jacob

G'day!

Im Jacob, 23, from Sydney Australia.

For the last year I've been travelling alongside my girlfriend, From Canada to Mexico to here in beautiful Queenstown!

Along the way we've been lucky enough to encounter many awesome pets (my girlfriend Stef did some dog sitting in Whistler and of course I joined! Who doesn't love hanging out with animals!)

We even took in a little stray kitten we named Pancho whilst in Mexico and managed to find him a loving home before we left!

As well as having two little cats at home in Aus, and previously, our late pup, honey.

I thought I'd continue carrying the torch here in Queenstown and would love to take care of your furry family member in whatever capacity that is!

Walking, sitting and over night stays is mostly what I offer as I'm currently working full-time Tuesday-Saturday as a maintenance technician.

Using my spare time to educate myself on dog training and animals in general as it's something I'm really passionate about!

I've also got my police check and can administer basic medications. (Nothing injectable)

I'm currently living with my girlfriend in a studio apartment in downtown queenstown, with a fully fenced back deck! We're also quite active and love getting out of the house!

Your pup would never be left alone, as I'd only take on walks/sits on my days off or afternoons, if we go anywhere, like the lake or a bush walk or even a stroll into town, they're coming with us!

I'd offer a max of 2 walks per day, and happy to walk/sit up to 2 dogs at a time, with walks going from 30min - an hour depending on the energy/age of the pup.

No pets of our own, another reason I'm really keen to look after yours!

If you'd prefer me to come to your place, I'm more than happy to take care of any routine upkeep of your house as well as feeding, training, medicating your little one. And of course showing them plenty of love!

If you're looking to get out for a date night, heading away for a couple of days or just jam packed and need to get your pup OR any pet for that matter, out of the house for a walk...

I'm your man!

If I seem like a good fit for you, get in touch! Would love to see if I can help you out!

My all day availability's will be Sunday, Monday, however, reach out even if your needs are outside those days, I'm sure we can make something work!

Jacob and Stef were fantastic. I felt like my boy was safe and happy while I was away. I will definitely get Jacob to look after Floyd again thank you
