Pet care experience

Pet Care | Future Law Student

Hey, everyone! My name is Jacob, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years now! I grew up in an agricultural setting and have cared for dogs, cats, and even horses for the for the majority of my life, so I completely understand the importance of finding animal care that is trustworthy and attentive. I am the proud owner of two perfect cats, but have experienced caring for animals with a broad range of personalities, ages, and needs. No matter the situation, I am committed to providing care that is tailored to their individual needs. My top priority is to always make pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I fully understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be stressful, which is why I place an emphasis on communication and reliability. I will provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. As a recent college graduate and soon-to-be law student on summer break, I have a highly flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to provide dependable care and accommodate a variety of scheduling needs. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Thanks!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I recognize that changes in routine can be stressful for many pets! That is why I place a strong emphasis on following each pet’s normal schedule and respecting their individual preferences. By maintaining consistency and providing attentive care, I strive to create an environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Jacob was a lifesaver after a previous sitter bailed on me. He was communicative throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures of my fur baby, which gave me peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely use him again in the future.

Jacob took care of my lab and golden retriever while I was away for 2 weeks! He did an amazing job and I could not recommend him enough! He took them on walks, sent us pictures often, and asked questions when he needed some help or didn’t know what to do. Highly recommend hiring Jacob for your pet needs!!

Jacob has cared for Reece multiple times over the years while we were on vacation. She is a very timid dog and he was very kind, making her feel comfortable with him at the first meeting. She is an outside dog, and he checked on her regularly, making sure she had plenty of food, water, treats and love. Any pet will be lucky to have Jacob as a caregiver.

Oh, I could say so many great things about Jake! BUT the best thing about his work is that he managed not my one but my FOUR dogs simultaneously with ease! I have four large breed dogs that he took excellent care of when we were on vacation. If you need a sitter who is well versed and pays attention to detail, look no further, you've found him. I was sad to see he's moved out of our area (Shi, Kimber, Prancer, and Auggie) will miss him greatly.

Jacob has dog sat for me for 3 years, and is the absolute best at taking care of pets!! My dog, Remi, absolutely loves Jacob. Remi is a very active dog who requires a lot of exercise and attention, and Jacob has always made sure to provide that. He has taken him on dozens of walks, and always makes sure to play with Remi when he is in the back yard. Jacob is punctual and always shows up when he says he will. Jacob makes sure to stick to any pet's routine, which is so so so helpful. I can't recommend Jacob enough! I will always use Jacob as my preferred dog sitter. He will take great care of your pets!!

Jacob is truly exceptional when it comes to pet care. He's incredibly responsible, always making sure every detail is covered, from feeding schedules to playtime and walks. More than that, he genuinely shows so much love and patience with every animal he looks after. You can tell he has a real connection with them, and that makes all the difference. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend him to anyone searching for a dedicated, trustworthy, and genuinely loving pet caregiver.
