Active lifestyle-ready for anything

Pet care experience

Hello! My name's Jacob and I’m a University of Vermont graduate. I've been around dogs my whole life, and I am a lover of all kinds of animals. I've had 5 dogs and two cats, including 4 dachshunds, who I've loved very much! I've cared for one of my dogs when he had a back injury, including giving him medication and ensuring he didn't strain his back any further. Another of our dogs has problems with seizures; I have watched over him, helped him through several seizures, and administered his medication. I've cared for another of our dogs when she was pregnant, including caring for the newborn puppies. I've also house-sat and dog-sat before, including for a chihuahua and mastiff in the same household. I have worked as a volunteer dog walker at the Humane Society in Reading, Pennsylvania. To be approved for this position, I had a 3 hour class to familiarize with the facility and how to handle every type of dog from old to agressive. I worked with old and young dogs, small and large (and strong!) on an independent basis. There are a few photos of some of the dogs I worked with on my profile. I am available all day, most days for drop-in visits, walks and house sitting. I am usually available weeknights, and sometimes weekend nights for house sitting.

Jacob was awesome! Lucas can be a bit neurotic and is overly cautious of new people. But he was able to get Lucas to hang out and do his thing. Thanks so much

This was our first experience with a house sitter who wasn't a family member. We couldn't be happier. Jacob was extremely professional when he came to do the home visit prior to our vacation. He took notes and asked all the important questions. He kept in constant contact during his stay and sent pictures daily. We were at ease the whole time we were away knowing our kids were being well cared for. We even had a couple extra duties we asked Jacob to do and they were all cared for as well. We will most definitely use Jacob again in the future if he's available.

Jacob helped care for my young Siberian Husky. He was always prompt, and very helpful. I would recommend him.
