I approach caring for other people’s pets just as I would approach caring for my own — lead with love and follow a pet parent’s instructions ❤️ ALWAYS respect a pet's boundaries and spaces - you're in their home after all!

Information Jacob M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your pets respond best to new people! I generally get a good sense of their boundaries within the first minute or two, but a heads up is always appreciated.

A typical day

One of my favorite parts of petsitting is figuring out each pet's version of fun. Some dogs like watching tennis, some want to run as fast as they can in the backyard. Some cats prefer to be left alone completely, some find endless joy out of chasing laser pointers.

Pet care experience

I have cared for family members’ dogs, friends’ dogs and cats, and have lived with pets throughout my life. I believe in leading with love and enjoying every minute you get to spend with four-legged friends!

Jacob did a great job watching Reggie while we were away, as always!

Jacob was a great sitter for my cat, Babka! He was on time and took nice care of Babka, taking care of all the basics (cleaning the litter box, feeding, etc.) without a problem. He also did a great job of determining what Babka needed at each visit most, whether it was lots of play or pets.

Jacob is great! He watches my mini dachshund fairly often and treats him like his own dog. He is responsible, friendly, and communicative. He has been a dog lover for as long as I’ve known him and he takes great care of all pets.

My cat (Reginald) is quite the handful, so I have to be pretty picky about who watches him. Jacob has been a go-to sitter for the past few years and has always been amazing. He is communicative, sends lots of photos, and Reginald adores him. He also is very attentive - Reggie gets into everything and Jacob has always made sure that the house remains cat-proof while I’m away. Highly recommend!

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.
