Experienced WFH sitter and walker

Pet care experience

I'm Jake. I love dogs. And I have a pretty flexible schedule to give yours as much attention as needed! I'm new to Portland and have been having a great time exploring places like Forest Park, the waterfront and neighborhoods around town. I love walking and running and I'm also happy to take dogs with me for lots of exercise at whatever pace they like. I work from home, so I'm available to be with your pup around the clock. About me: I'm 32. I grew up in Minnesota (with, at various times, a German shepherd mix, a yellow lab mix and a two golden retrievers). I like baseball and reading and travel. I have a sweet little 1 1/2 year old pit bull, whose a great playmate for dogs who like to play. I can also leave her home with my partner if your dog is less social. I still like to take advantage whenever I get the chance to meet new dog friends. I've been on Rover for about eight years and have had a great experience. Please check out my reviews!

As usual, Jake is the best. We had a very last minute need to go out of town and Jake was responsive and flexible. He takes such good care of Ava and it really puts our mind at peace knowing he’s watching her. Thanks again! 20/10

As always, Jake is so great with Ava. He’s so communicative by sending plenty of updates and photos. He genuinely loves her and it makes our trips infinitely better. Thanks so much Jake, you rock!

Safety, trust & environment

i live with my spouse and our pit bull. When I have dog friends here, they get lots of play opportunities with Stevie and lots of walks. There are two adults here and we work from home so we're here all the time. When I stay at a dog's home, I follow whatever instructions their humans leave. Because I work from home, it's easy to transport my usual daily routine to wherever I'm staying.

Information Jacob F. would like to know about your pet

I grew up mostly with bigger dogs, but I also cared for a Lhasa Apso puppy for a while. I'm really happy to have any dog of any age, shape or size!

A typical day

Anywhere! It seems like in Portland you're never far from a trail or park. I'm happy to walk around the neighborhood or to take an adventure. I'm also always up for a visit to the dog park.

I work full time, but work from home and have a relatively flexible schedule. I also work East Coast hours, so I'm usually free for a fun dog outing by 2:30 or 3 here in Portland.
