Safety, trust & environment

For drop-in visits and house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own. I follow each pet's established routine closely, keep all doors and entry points secure, and never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations. I'm attentive to behavioral cues and know how to give cats the space they need to warm up on their own terms. I'm comfortable with basic pet first aid and will always contact you immediately with updates, photos, and any concerns.

Information Jacob D. would like to know about your pet

Please share your pet's feeding schedule, any medications or special needs, and where everything is kept. I want to know your pet's personality going in; especially if they're shy, anxious, or have any quirks I should be aware of. Emergency vet info and a backup contact are always helpful. The more detail you give me upfront, the better I can care for your pet.

A typical day

Every visit is built around your pet's routine, not mine. For dogs I'll handle walks, playtime, feeding, and anything else on their schedule. For cats I focus on interactive play, companionship, and making sure they're comfortable and stimulated. I give each animal my full attention for the entire visit.

Pet care experience

I've been around animals my entire life and have 20+ years of hands-on experience with cats and dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Cats are my specialty! I currently live with my own cat, so yours will be in familiar, comfortable hands. I'm patient, observant, and genuinely love getting to know each animal's personality. I'm also experienced with dogs and comfortable with a wide range of energy levels. Your pet's comfort and routine always come first.

Jacob arrived on time. He was very kind and gentle with Marti, who startles easily due to a vision problem. He did not startle because Jacob spoke to him and ensured he has fresh water, lots of cuddles and pets and a snack. Thank you Jacob D

Jacob’s knowledge of pets and their care is such a nice resource to have in someone who looks after my cat. He takes my worries seriously, a great communicator and is always on time.

I highly recommend Jacob as a pet sitter and dog walker. He’s incredibly dependable, patient, and genuinely loves animals. I’ve seen firsthand how attentive and caring he is—he takes the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Jacob looking after their furry family member.

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.
