Information Jacob H. would like to know about your pet

any medication or other necessary things like active time in a day, minimum walking distance, or anything else that can come to mind that the dog will absolutely need while I am watching them

A typical day

it really depends on the dog but more or less I will try and do what the dog is used to, so if they need me to be near them while they eat I will do that, or if they need a ball thrown a to get their energy out ect. So anything the owner mentions about the dogs normal

Pets

I love all pets like my own.

Pet care experience

I've always had animals growing up, so I would like to assume I'm well versed in taking care of pets! I have also house sat and dog sat before but only for family friends or neighbors nothing in a "professional" sense I am currently a college student so thankfully I have a decent chunk of availability, as well as with not many classes or any at all being in person frees up even more time. This is a required field but unfortunately I am not providing home services due to my own pets being a little unfriendly to new faces

Thank you for taking such good care of Boomer and Wig. It was great to be able to get away and not worry.

Jacob did an excellent job watching our dogs. His check-ins were always on time and he was great at providing updates and communicating with us. We will Definitely book him 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.
