Safety, trust & environment

I treat animals with care and respect. I make sure to give them the love, kindness, and compassion that they deserve. I take care of my animal’s health and safety needs by taking the time to play with them, feeding them the best foods, and paying attention to any physical and mental changes.

Jacob is caring and patient with my senior dog as she can sometimes take a while on walks or to eat her food. He’s excellent at communication - responds quickly, sends pics, and asks all the right questions to provide the best service. Five stars!

Jake has been excellent to work with! In just a short time he’s won over our dog Cooper who is both stubborn and has anxious. He’s also reliable, always showing up on time, and does a great job of communicating and updating us on how Cooper did on his walk.

I highly recommend this dog walker! Jacob is reliable, punctual, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. My dog warmed up to him almost immediately, and I feel at ease knowing my pet is in caring and capable hands. He provides regular updates, including photos and notes about each walk, which I really appreciate. It's clear Jacob pay attention to my dog's needs, energy level, and safety. Overall, an excellent service that has made my daily routine much less stressful.

Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Jake was great with communication, very prompt and most importantly Archie loves him. After 2 walks, Archie was waiting by the door for Jake every day. Highly recommend !

Its helpful to know if your animal has any special needs or behaviors that I need to be aware of ahead of time. That way I can accommodate and be prepared.
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.
