I am currently a full time Doctor of Physical Therapy student at WSSU, and don’t have a part time job so I have plenty of time to dedicate towards dog sitting! Monday and Wednesday are the only days I have more than 4 hours of class, as I have class from 8-12 then from 1:30-3:15ish, so I would have time to stop in for a potty break before I go to that last class. I am generally free on the weekends unless I have them marked off on my schedule already! If you have any further questions about my schedule please feel free to ask!

Safety, trust & environment

I can use whatever facilities/toys are provided to me to help care for your pets, and am willing to learn what your pets habits are! I want to make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe with me being there, so I will strive to make my presence seem as normal as possible. I am always willing to take advice and notes on how to better care for your animals in your home!

Information Jacob A. would like to know about your pet

More instructions the better as far as I am concerned. How your dog is with other animals, food habits, potentially allergies or potential hazards such as eating rocks. Anything you can think of that will make sure your dog, and you, will be worry free!

A typical day

I like to try and go on a nice walk earlier on in the day, whether it be around the neighborhood or on a trail if they are fine with riding in a car. I love to play with dogs so if they have any toys or anything they generally enjoy playing with I will definitely make use of those! And of course some chilling on the couch cuddle time in the evening after another walk, probably involving some studying on my end haha.

Never saw a dog I didn’t love!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs all my life, different breeds and temperaments, taking care of them along with my family. I have walked multiple dogs together for friends, and am a perfectionist when it comes to providing good care for your furry family members! I am active, so I can play with your pet as much as needed, and haven’t met a dog who didn’t enjoy my company :).

Jacob did a great job with banjo! The house was clean and well cared for, you wouldn’t have known somebody stayed there. Would definitely recommend Jacob to anyone!

Jacob was the perfect sitter for us! He sent daily photo updates of Dino and took him on multiple "outings" daily. Dino is a highly motivated and energetic dog that requires a lot of attention - Jacob had no difficulty fulfilling his needs. He maintained great communication with us throughout our trip so we knew our boy was well taken care of during our trip. When we arrived home, he also had kept our house clean and organized! We will definitely use Jacob again for any future needs :)

Jacob was very punctual. He is an excellent communicator. He was very comfortable with my pup Soxy and I can feel confident in her care with him in the future.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
