About: As a former foster parent for dogs, I’ve cared for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and love. I know how to read their body language, build trust, and provide a calm, comforting space. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle medication, or just lots of snuggles, I tailor my care to their unique needs. I treat every dog like family because to me, they truly are. I am also willing to help monitor and care for cats, and other small in-home animals, such as hamsters. If you have any of these pets that will need tended to please let me know during your booking. Bonus: I’m experienced with crate training, leash manners, and helping shy or anxious pups feel safe. Your dog will be in loving, capable hands! Please see my attached schedule within the photos for time frames I am available for your baby! If you have any questions about my availability or schedule, don't hesitate to reach out! At my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I create a safe, cozy, and low-stress environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions you provide. Because of my experience as a foster parent, I’m very mindful of each dog’s personality and comfort level. Whether they need extra playtime, space to decompress, or just a lot of love, I adjust my care to fit their needs. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and routines while keeping communication open. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first—no matter where they are.

“Jacob is very friendly, communicative, reliable and very accommodating as I needed someone at the last minute. He did a great job with my dog Koda. I strongly recommend Jacob for pet services. He was very responsible and helpful and set my mind at ease while I was traveling. Yamini Adkins”


About: I have a lifelong passion for animals, nurtured since childhood, and currently share my home with two playful dogs and three affectionate cats. My supportive husband and three kids also adore our furry friends. With my experience caring for and fostering dogs at a local rescue, I love helping pets feel comfortable and happy. Our spacious fenced backyard and warm family atmosphere ensure your pup will have a great time playing and enjoying companionship. I am dedicated to providing all the love & care to make sure your furry friend has a great safe time’ As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule allows me to focus on my family and pets while my kids are in school. I usually run short errands or attend quick appointments, never gone for more than two hours, so I’m always nearby for my furry friends. I create a warm and welcoming space where every pet feels loved and comfortable. With my own dogs and cats at home, I know how important it is to keep a close eye on our furry friends, and I’m always nearby to give them the care they need. My time volunteering at a local rescue has given me the skills to handle a variety of dogs from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Sharing detailed information about your dog helps me tailor their care and ensure their safety, making them feel right at home. They’ll always be in a nurturing environment where they’re never alone for long and receive all the attention they crave!

About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.

About: I have 3 adorable pups! I love them to death and I recently adopted a pit-bull puppy that’s the sweetest girl and a quick learner with her training! I always make sure to properly take care of my dogs, play with them, and spoil them with loads of love and attention. im currently 18 and a senior in high school, I have worked plenty of jobs but I recently resigned to focus on my studies, and taking care of your perfect little pets will be a fitting outlet for me! I have many college bills I need to pay and rover is the perfect way to earn a little bit of money to pay them off. I can do late afternoons, evenings, weekends, and all day during summer! I’ve had pets all my life I have learned to take care of and love them, putting my heart into it, and I honestly just have a natural calling to animals, they love me and I love them!

About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.

About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!

Kylie B.
“Kylie is seriously the best! From the moment she met my dogs and could tell she truly loves animals. She’s warm, caring, and totally dependable. My dogs Mocha & Sugar instantly felt comfortable around her—and that says a lot! Especially my Sugar, she is a sissy! She sent me the cutest updates and photos while I was away, which made me feel so at ease. I never had to worry if my dogs were getting enough attention or exercise—Kylie made sure they happy, loved, and well cared for the whole time.

Alexandra J.
“I highly recommend Alexandra to anyone who needs a loving, patient, caring and fun place for their loved fur-baby to stay. Alexandra has watched out precious "Luna" on multiple occasions, and our normally shy dog gets so excited when we bring her to Alexandra to stay while we are out of town. It makes us feel much better knowing our girl is happy and safe when we need to spend time apart. Our Luna has pretty intense separation anxiety, but she does really well with Alexandra.”


Rebecca R.Star Sitter
“Rebecca always takes amazing care of our dog and home while we are away. She really loves animals and it shows. She sends photos and updates so we know they both are having a good time. In addition, our home is as clean as when we leave. Rebecca is the best person to care for your dog and home. Highly recommend!”
