Bainbridge Island Dog Walker!

Pet care experience

I’m punctual, caring and attentive pet walker, and sitter! (If I do say so myself ...) I love caring for animals and hope to make them as happy as possible. Past pet walking and sitting experience starts with having family pets my whole life, and as an adult: house and pet sitting for weeks at a time, including dog + cat households. Currently a full time dog walker and pet sitter. I am home Full-Time, however, I am not able to pet sit at my apartment. Mainly looking for Island (Bainbridge) pets for walks and sits. But for longer stays i’m willing to travel further. There are always special circumstances, so gimme a call! Availability is nearly every day, depending on scheduled walks/sits and personal schedule of course.

Jacob did a fantastic job of taking care of Tarly and our house while we were away for a week. He sent photos daily and even left us a darling Polaroid on our return. I would absolutely book him again.

Jacob walks our dogs and has house sat for us. He is a great communicator and sent photo updates every day. Our dogs are always excited to see him, and he is able to handle walking three dogs at once. We’re glad we found Jacob to take care of our dogs and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a walker or sitter!

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.
