Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Dog & Cat Caretaker
I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid, and animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve helped raise and care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from a gentle Rottweiler named Clyde to a full litter of 13 pit bull puppies (we kept one and named him Blue!). I’ve also helped with training basics and walked dogs like Bernie the mutt, Sammie the Beagle, and Cooper, my dad’s current pup.

Safety, trust & environment
When visiting your home, I follow your specific care instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m attentive, calm, and dependable, and I make sure pets get the attention, movement, and love they need while you're away. I’m also comfortable crating, administering basic meds, and managing multiple pets.
Ratings and reviews
Jacob arrived late each day and left early. Heard excuses each day. I need someone reliable and dependable. Thankfully, I have that with another Rover sitter.
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
Jacob is great. 5 star all the way. Kind. Caring. On Time. Knows how to handle a difficult dog. Loren
I have had the joy of sharing my life with my Fiance' Jacob for nearly seven years, and throughout this time, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible love and care he shows for our cats, Jax (9 years old) and Ruthie (8 years old). Jacob is truly one of the most caring and attentive people I know, especially when it comes to animals. From the very beginning, Jacob has gone above and beyond to ensure our cats feel safe, loved, and cherished every single day. Ruthie, who was very shy when we first started dating, has blossomed into a confident and affectionate cat, forming a special bond with Jacob that is heartwarming to see. Jax has always trusted and adored Jacob, frequently seeking his lap or feet for comfort and companionship, especially at night. Jacob has a unique ability to connect with animals on their level, whether it’s playing with their toys, rolling around on the carpet, or simply spending quiet moments together. He treats our cats like family, with the same love and attention he would give to children, but with a gentle understanding of their unique needs as pets. His selflessness and dedication to their well-being are truly inspiring. Looking ahead, we plan to expand our family by adopting a dog once we have more space in our home and yard. Jacob’s experience growing up with Rottweilers and Pitbulls has given him excellent knowledge and understanding of these breeds, further highlighting his capability as a responsible and skilled pet caregiver. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacob for any pet care role. His compassion, experience, and genuine love for animals make him an exceptional candidate who will provide outstanding care and affection to every pet he looks after.

Schedule
I’m currently working part-time with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability during the week and on weekends. I’m happy to do morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet's routine. I also drive for Uber/Lyft, which gives me flexibility to prioritize pet care during the day.
