Safety, trust & environment

I've stayed in so many people's homes now that I'm starting to become an expert on dishwashers, washing machines, showers and TV's! On a serious note I'm always respectful, reliable and treat every home I stay in with care. When I'm looking after your pets in your home, I aim to keep things running smoothly and calmly so they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I understand the trust it takes to let someone stay in your space, and I always make sure to leave everything as tidy (or tidier! And sometimes with cookies) than I found it. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just quiet company, I’ll make sure your pets feel loved and looked after while you're away :)

Information Jacob A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any complications or difficulties with anything in their day to day lives like injuries for example or if they don't really like meeting other dogs on their expeditions etc. :D

A typical day

I like to make sure pets are not just looked after, but also genuinely enjoying themselves while their humans are away. For dogs, I’ll tailor our time to their energy levels—whether that’s long walks, games of fetch, sniffing adventures, or just chilling in the sun together. For cats, I’ll respect their moods: some love a good play session with a feather toy, others just want someone nearby for company. I’m also happy to spend quiet time with any pet who prefers a slower pace—reading a book while they snooze nearby is one of my favourite things. I always try to keep things relaxed, safe, and fun, so your pet feels content and cared for.

Pet care experience

Hey! I'm Jacob and I've been looking after pets for 3 years now on Rover. I've done the whole spectrum from very young cats all the way up to senior maows! I've given oral medication to cats and dogs on numerous occasions, looked after many anxious or shy fluffy creatures and even taken a doggy to a wedding! People always say their pet doesn't usually bond to people that quickly but for some reason they are drawn to me :) - my brother has always been naturally better with animals so I'm glad when I get that reaction!

Second time that Jacob has looked after my cat and I would strongly recommend again! He always gives updates and pictures and is very reliable!

Jacob was very organised and reliable. He stepped in last minute and took great care of Pepper. He is a great dog walker and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. 10/10

I would definitely recommend Jacob as a cat sitter. He is reliable, trust-worthy and was great with my cat. He sends regular updates and pictures and was responsive. I’ll definitely book with Jacob again in the future! :)

Jacob took good care of Lyra, and was really flexible and communicative when I needed to organise drop in visits during the Christmas period at short notice. I appreciated the length of time he spent for each visit to keep Lyra company.
