Safety, trust & environment

Your boundaries for your animals whether they be rules or practices in your personal home will be closely followed and respected. I bring my years of pet experience to ensure their safety is my top priority when staying with them overnight or providing daily care along with giving them the company they’ll need while you are away.

Information Jacob L. would like to know about your pet

I’ll take pleasure in speaking with you directly before meeting to know what routines and special considerations are needed for your pup in the time you will be gone. We can discuss temperament, daily habits, potty times, and anything else that will ensure the best visit possible while I am with your pet.

A typical day

A day will be filled with walks, playtime, and petting as your dog so desires. As a high energy individual myself I’ll ensure your pet will be too distracted by having fun and not worrying about when you will return home.

Passionate and Energetic Pup Care

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for, training, and owning dogs nearly my whole life starting from childhood to now fostering/watching for friends and family. I’ve also had experience working professionally as a pet sitter. Whether your pup is large or small I’ll care for them as if they were my own and bring all the playful energy as a young adult to provide a fun experience during my time with them.

Jacob is great with our rambunctious girl. She knows exactly what to expect when he shows up and goes straight for the door. He also gives her meds and feeds her for us. She gets so excited to see him.

Jacob did a great job taking care of my big boy pup. He not only took great care of my dog, but he also made me feel comfortable knowing that everything was taken care of. I definitely intend to engage Jacob again in the very near future.

Jacob is magnificent! He is gentle and kind with our boys. He’s particularly helpful with our old Labrador Alex. He is 15 and has lots of mobility issues. He always keeps us updated with pictures promptly after each visit. He also follows our instructions to the T. Jacob is a true gentleman.

Jacob is amazing. He’s so kind to our boys and very good with our senior dog Alex. He’s punctual and keeps us updated.

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.
