I’m recently retired and finding that I have so much time and even more energy to give. If you have a schedule that is not typical of the 9-5 work day, I understand. I have the same lived experience.

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t offer boarding services at this time due to my favorite pup LuLu and her inability to socialize with other animals in her home.

Information Jacob H. would like to know about your pet

Written directions specifically pertaining to your pet’s needs are the best. I prefer to meet a day or two prior to beginning a sitting service to review any special requirements to insure your pet receives the quality care they deserve.

A typical day

Fun activities include trips to the dog park, walking the neighborhood, playing fetch in the backyard and the occasional short jog. I’m not as physically fit as I once was, but can keep it together in short bursts.

Pet care experience

Thanks for taking an opportunity to discover more about me and what I may be able to offer you, your friends, and your family. I grew up modestly but rich with pet friends. I’m a dog person at heart and most dogs know it as soon as we meet. I’m a retired military guy in the area with a wife and 2 daughters. We own a 10 year old American bulldog named LuLu. I understand the need for good, reliable pet care options. So if some Rover providers can’t support your 2 a.m. dog walk/house call request. Give me a shot, I just might be your best solution. Thanks again for considering me.

Jacob is wonderful with our senior, small dog. He also is extremely neat, timely and organized. I can tell how our dog did when we are gone by how he acts when we return, and our fur ball was calm and content. In addition, our condo was spotless - Jacob even stripped the bed! I would highly recommend Jacob and will book him in the future.

Jacob did a wonderful job caring for our elderly, spoiled but lovable, dog. He was responsive, organized, and in addition, left our condo in perfect condition. I highly recommend Jacob as a dog sitter and will be booking him again!

Jacob was an excellent sitter. He was extremely responsive to all communication, came over for a meet and greet, had great rates, sent pictures throughout the week, and overall just took great care of our dogs. Our house was almost cleaner than we left it and couldn’t have asked for more. Will use again!

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.
