Friendly, reliable Dutchman.

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Jacob. I had dogs my whole life (Labradors, German shepherd, Stabyhoun). However, now that I'm living in the US (since beginning of 2015), I don't have a dog, and I miss it. Meanwhile, I started volunteering for Lily's Legacy for senior dogs, in Petaluma, and am now with Rover as well. I am good with all dogs, young, old, all breeds. Looking after other people's dogs, taking them out for walks, is not only good for the dogs but for me as well. I'm in good shape and strong, like jogging (if the dog likes that, too). I am an experienced dog-lover, gentle but strict, and of course playtime, too. My English is as good as my Dutch, and I speak four more languages.

Fabulous experience! Our dog came home happy, relaxed and tired from their first walk. Jacob even added some extra time to their walk and stopped by on his own time the day before to meet her. When she reacted to other dogs (her main problem), he was able to hold her and keep her safe. So grateful for this wonderful service! Thanks, Rover.com! Thanks, Jacob!

Jacob is a valued volunteer at Lily's Legacy Senior Dog Sanctuary. He has excellent dog skills and loves our pups like his own. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a trustworthy and conscientious caregiver for their dog(s). Your pup's wellbeing will be his number one priority.

I have known Jacob for one year. We have worked together volunteering at a dog sanctuary. During this time Jacob has always demonstrated the utmost professionalism in caring for these animals. He can manage a dog of any size, any demeanor , and he maintains complete control of every situation whether on leash or off. I would recommend Jacob for walking, sitting, transporting, feeding, or any other aspect of pet care. Please call me for any questions you may have. Linda M (415) 897-9014

I came to know Jacob through our mutual volunteer work at a senior, large breed dog sanctuary. From the start, it was obvious that Jacob had true skills and understanding when it came to dog handling. He is very adept at even the strongest dogs, and has a very tender heart with all dogs. He is punctual and detail orientated and takes direction well, even when it's not asked for. He LISTENS, which might not sound like much, but trust me, when you're going to be leaving your precious furbabies home while you're gone, or have someone take them out in your stead, you want them to have listened to every detail of your directions.

Information Jacob C. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I would of course like to know if there are any behavioral issues, with other dogs, people, or any physical issues before I start a walk.

A typical day

Nearby is the Santa Rosa Creek trail, but I know plenty of good walks, so there's enough choice. I'd like to run if the dog likes it, too, and play with tennis balls.
