Pet care experience
* I believe having a pet should enhance your life, and not cause you stress and as someone that loves to travel, I understand how hard it can be to find a good sitter. That is why I offer quality care at an affordable price. * My name is Jacob and I have been taking care of animals, from small rodents to large dogs, my whole life. I've personally had hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, dogs, and cats. I have been pet sitting for local neighborhood families on and off for the last 10+ years and it's something that I really enjoy getting the opportunity to do. I will treat your fur-babies as though they are my own. I currently live in a home with 2 lab mixes and 2 cats which at times can feel like a zoo :). If your pet needs lots of love and attention, no worries there, I am ready to provide it. If your pet needs personal space with a calm individual willing to put in the work to earn their trust, I got that too. If there is anything special I can do to make your pet, or you, more comfortable, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Reviews
Jacob was fantastic! Our two boys took to him immediately when they met and he would give us pics and updates frequently. Would absolutely recommend using Jacob!
Jacob stayed in our home taking care of our 3 large dogs for two full weeks while we travelled to Europe. From the very beginning of connecting with him, he was responsive and detail oriented, and during the stay he send us updates and pictures every single day. We came home to 3 happy dogs and house completely in order. We highly recommend Jacob.
Jacob was amazing with our animals and our house!
Jacob always does a great job and provides excellent care for our 15 year old cat and two dogs. They love him!
About Jacob D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
While watching your fur-babies I like to say they call the shots. Whatever I can do to make sure their stay with me is as pleasant as possible, I will. I also am a huge believer in communication and pictures during the stay as I understand wanting to check in on your babies. They are your family after all. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and practice safety and common sense while out on walks, which are available, at no additional cost, upon request. My only goal is to make sure that everyone stays safe, happy, and healthy. :) Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. *A meet and greet is required with all new clients to make sure we are a good fit and reinforce that your fur-babies will be in good hands*
Information Jacob D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special conditions your pet may have and any medications your pet may be taking. Please provide contact information for your preferred vet. In the unlikely event of an emergency, the closest animal hospital/veterinary facility will be used. (If your primary care facility is unavailable)
A typical day
My typical day is your typical day. We all have a routine that we are used to and it’s no different for our pets. Whatever your pet needs to be comfortable during my stay is what I will do. Frequent potty breaks, walks, food time, cuddle time, etc. I have you covered. Your absence can be stressful, and my goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible. :)

I currently have a Full-Time Monday thru Friday job that allows me to work remotely up to 3 days per week, with additional flexibility as needed. My current in office days are Monday and Tuesday. Weekends are almost always free, which is great for those of you that enjoy those long weekend trips. :) I will always do my best to work around your pet's schedule to ensure their routine is disrupted as little as possible.
