2024 — The Early Sits
In 2024, Jacob began providing pet care in Georgia on a small, informal basis and quickly discovered how deeply he enjoyed the work. Having grown up around animals and spent years caring for pets, what initially started as a way to earn extra income unexpectedly revealed a greater purpose. It became clear that this was something he wanted to build into more than just a side project.
2025 — Atlanta Pet Pal Is Born
In 2025, Jacob officially launched the business under the name Atlanta Pet Pal. Built solely by him in the beginning, the brand was founded on refined service standards, structured routines, and a concierge-level approach to in-home pet care. As demand grew, he began carefully expanding the team — bringing in Pet Pal Pros who shared the same commitment to professionalism, trust, and exceptional care inside clients' homes.
Today — Raising the Standard
With a growing client base and an expanding suite of tools — including intake guides, safety protocols, communication systems, and premium overnight routines — Georgia Pet Pal is dedicated to delivering consistent, reliable, top-tier care inside clients' homes.
