Pet care experience

I want to have fun with your dogs!

edit: slightly raised my overnight and walking rates. if you were a repeat customer before this change I can continue to honour my original prices if you wish. I'm a long time dog lover and lover of animals in general. Over the years I've lived in places or have visited places that have had dogs and I always get along great with them. My current job allows me to come into contact with several dogs on a daily/nightly basis and they always seem to flock to me. I'm an avid walker too so to be able to help someone with the walking of their own furry family member would be a great joy. I spend a lot of time alone and getting to spend some of that with someone's dog even for a couple hours I'm sure will benefit all of us greatly. I think I could be a great help to you all. Prices are negotiable!

Jacob did a great caring for two dogs while we were oit of town. He sent updates and the dogs seemed to enjoy spending time with him. Thanks Jacob.

Jacob has been a lifesaver on more than one occasion, being willing to help on short notice when unexpected needs came up. Being new to the area and having no one else to call, I'm not sure what we'd have done. I'm super grateful for his care of my buddy and flexibility to help us out! Highly recommend!

For the first time in two years we feel we finally found the perfect caregiver for our Newt. Jacob and his family took great care of our dog, sent photos, and updates. This was the first time that our dog hasn’t lost weight when we left him and when we picked him up he kept running back to Jacob. That told me he really loved him. I will definitely being booking again with Jacob.

I guess it'd be nice to know if they have any allergies (and who to contact in case something happens), if they get along with cats. (I have a couple, who shouldn't be a problem). if any of them have problems behaving when away from home or away from their owners. I'm sure if anything is gravely important I'll find out anyway.
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.
