About: I’ve cared for dogs for over five years and currently raise a Border Collie/German Shepherd mix, so I understand high-energy breeds and puppy training. I’m consistent, patient, and attentive to routines. I have experience with crate training, basic commands, teething stages, and managing excitement around children. I treat every dog like my own and prioritize safety, structure, and plenty of exercise. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I already structure my days around my own dog’s schedule. I’m used to morning and evening walks, feeding routines, playtime, and weekly training sessions. I spend my work breaks playing with my own dog. I plan ahead and prioritize consistency, so adding additional pets to my routine feels seamless and well-organized. Safety is always my top priority. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secured, and maintain a calm, structured environment. I’m attentive to body language and behavior, especially with high-energy dogs, and I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations.

About: I’m 100% work-from-home, so your dog is never left alone or unattended. I have a flexible, non-taxing job that allows me to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day—from walks and playtime to cuddles and potty breaks. I’ve raised my own dog from 3 months old to now 2 years old, so I’m experienced with puppy care, routines, socialization, and positive reinforcement. I’m also patient and attentive, which makes me great with senior dogs or dogs that need a calm, loving environment. I truly love dogs and treat every one like my own. I pay close attention to their energy levels, comfort, and routines, and I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I already structure my day around my own dog’s routine, including morning walks, daytime play and enrichment, and evening wind-down time. Adding another dog is seamless, and I make sure each pet gets individual attention based on their needs, energy level, and schedule. Because I’m home all day, I can easily accommodate puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need extra supervision or frequent breaks. When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I live in a townhouse with a fully fenced backyard, which is perfect for safe outdoor play and frequent potty breaks and multiple walking trails throughout the neighborhood. Regardless of the location pets are always supervised and never left alone for long periods. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I also provide plenty of affection, enrichment, and one-on-one attention.

About: I grew up around big dogs and cats, so I’m familiar with reading animal behavior. Dog walker and cat socialization volunteer at local animal shelter near college.

Able to wear them out with loads of play time or to just give them a good belly rub. Whatever is needed! I’m used to playing with a high energy German Shepard/Akita mix and a one year old Black Mouth Cur. Needless to say, I can hold my own against big dogs zoomies.
“We had a wonderful experience with Jake, who stopped by twice to care for our three cats and did an amazing job! Communication was excellent throughout, and he was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cared about our cats’ well-being. We would absolutely trust Jake again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable and trustworthy pet care.”

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
