Experienced Dog walker/pet sitter

Pet care experience

Hello, My name is Jacob, I'm an experienced dog walker, pet and house sitter. I love all types of dogs and animals and grew up with German Shepards so I'm very comfortable with large breeds as well as smaller breeds. I'm available for walking, check-ins or feeding, in addition to pet/housesitting at your pets home or overnight boarding in my home. I have a small country house with 2 acres of land on a quiet dirt road surrounded by woods and fields in the foot hills of the green mountains. The yard is bordered by a small stream that is great for swimming in the summer. I'm a full time student looking to supplement my part time job where I typically work less than 25 hours a week so I generally have lots of spare time to play.

Great patience, dogs seemed very happy. Jacob is one off the best dog sitters I've had over the years, I would recommend him to anyone.

Jacob did a great job with Franny and he was an excellent , responsive communicator. I highly recommend him and will happily use him again.

Jacob and I have dog and house sat together several times for family, friends, and for people we just met on rover. I have seen him be friendly, caring, responsible, and playful with every dog and animal he’s cared for. He always makes sure they are properly fed, watered, walked, loved, and played with. He doesn’t leave them home alone unless the owner has given permission to. Jacob grew up with dogs, particularly older breeds like German Shepard’s but I’ve seen him care for small, medium, and larger breeds without a problem. He loves dogs, animals, being outside and active which makes him a good person to choose for your dog sitting job. We both love dogs and grew up with them and have years of experience taking care of them. I hope this helps you in being confident in choosing Jacob for your sitting jobs. Jacob loves to hike, take walks, go fishing, swimming, relax and play.
