Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, caring, professional
Growing up I was surrounded by animals. I would help to care for dogs, cats, horses and more. As I grew older, I was given more and more responsibility for pets, until I became an adult, where I began taking care of my own pets by myself. Today, pet care is now my full time job! I love what I do, and want you and your pets to be happy with the care I give. I have done the following in my time caring for pets: House sitting for 4 pets at once Given insulin injections Given oral medications Grooming Dog walking Poop pick-up Drop-In Care Feeding & watering Playing with toys & much more! I am happy to offer my services for the needs mentioned above & if there are any others you would like me to take care of, just ask!

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize the safety and trust of pets by ensuring that their well-being is my top focus. I follow the owner’s specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, and daily routines to provide consistency and familiarity, which helps pets feel more at ease. Building trust is key, so I take time to bond with the pets, offering gentle care and affection to make them feel comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Jacob took great care of our four dogs while we were staying at Whispering Hills RV Park and visiting the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. He came by four times, checked in and out each visit, sent us photos, and communicated with us throughout. It gave us great peace of mind knowing the dogs were being checked on and cared for, and we were able to enjoy our days without worrying about them. We really appreciated how dependable and communicative Jacob was and would absolutely use him again.
Couldn’t be happier with the care jacob gave my two kitties! My Leroy was recently diagnosed with diabetes and having jacob there to take care of his insulin doses while I was away made me feel so much better !
Jake is prompt, reliable, and communicative! Would absolutely have him sit for my cats again. Thanks for taking care of my boys!
Jacob was super detailed and he cared so much about my fur baby. I would definitely book him again!
Jacob stopped in to let my pup out and play with him while I had to go into the office. He was professional, had great communication, followed instructions to a T, and sent some hilarious photos! I’d book him again in a heartbeat.
The only negative thought I have about Jacob is that he’s set the bar too high! This is the first time I’ve used the Rover app so I was a bit apprehensive. Jacob walked me thru the entire process, even dropping by the house for a meet & greet before my trip. My two male chihuahuas warmed up to him instantly and the rest is history. I received two pics per visit along with detailed updates on how they were behaving and their general mood. The entire experience was above and beyond! If you need a trustworthy and compassionate sitter, he’s your man.

Schedule
my schedule is very flexible. I prioritize your sit and make sure to meet your demands above all else. I do morning & evening pet care for other clients every day of the week, but if you hire me for a house sit, I make sure to schedule everything around YOUR pet's needs. If your pet can not be left alone for more than 6 hours, I will be sure to always return inside of that 6 hour window when I leave.

- Please provide me with key information about your pet to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for both your pet and myself. This includes daily routines; such as feeding schedules, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions. It's also important to know if the pet has any medical conditions, allergies, or requires medications, along with clear instructions for administering them. Behavioral traits are essential too; whether the pet is shy, anxious, or energetic, and how they interact with other animals or strangers. Emergency contacts, the veterinarian’s information, and any specific safety instructions, like securing doors or avoiding certain areas during walks, are also vital. All this information helps me provide the best possible care tailored to your pet’s needs!
