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 amazing. He’s very gentle and kind to our boys. He always updates us frequently during his visits.

This was our first time having Jacob watch our dogs. I would highly recommend him. Communication is A+. Our older dog can be a bit bossy and he handled her just fine.

I have unfortunately had inconsistent experiences using Rover in the past and was hesitant in trying to find a dog sitter for a week long trip through Rover. Jacob however was great to work with and incredibly diligent and timely with my older (particular) dog. I cannot recommend him enough! His calm demeanor immediately put my pup at ease and he made sure to accomidate some specific needs (visits before I left, specific food needs and timely bathroom breaks) to keep my dog comfortable and happy. He communicated effectively before, during and after the trip, which is always greatly appreciated. I'll most definitely be requesting Jacob for any and all future trips.
