Pet care experience
📸 Your pet's BFF + photo pro!
I have 5 years of experience pet sitting both cats and dogs. Before I moved to live solo this year, I had lived with 3 cats for the past 4 years. I am also a photographer of 10 years who loves taking pictures of animals, and would love to take photos of your pet/s.

Ratings and reviews
This was my first time using Rover, and I honestly didn’t expect to find such an amazing sitter. I would absolutely book with him again and will definitely be a loyal repeat customer. He is incredibly responsible. Every visit, he sent us photos of our cats, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. He also takes amazing pictures—his photos were honestly much better than the ones we usually take ourselves! What impressed me even more was how thoughtful he was. We have two cats, and although we never asked him to make sure they shared their treats equally, he still did his best to make sure one cat didn’t eat everything. That small gesture was so sweet and showed how much he genuinely cared. We only expected him to stop by, clean the litter box, refill the food and water, and leave. Instead, he stayed around 30 minutes every visit to play with our cats. On the first day, he even came back an extra time just to make sure everything was okay, without charging us anything extra. He also noticed things we completely overlooked. We accidentally forgot to leave the air conditioning on before our trip, and he let us know right away and turned it on so our cats would be comfortable. He followed every instruction carefully. I asked him to wash the water bowl every visit, and he actually did it every single time. I even saw him doing it on our security camera, and I really appreciated that attention to detail. Most importantly, it’s obvious that he truly loves animals. His rates are very reasonable, especially considering the level of care he provides. He doesn’t even live particularly close to us, yet he was always reliable and even made an extra trip after we returned just to bring our key back. I can’t recommend him highly enough. I’m sure there are many wonderful sitters on Rover, but I honestly feel his service is worth much more than what he charges. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about your pets, you won’t regret booking with him. We feel incredibly lucky that our first Rover experience was with someone like him.
Took amazing care of my pet cat Bandit!!! Took a lot of photos and provided great updates, will definitely use him again if we ever go on another trip like this!! :)
He was so great with Circe! His photos were amazing and he gave great feedback as to how she was doing. Would recommend!
Jacob was great! Responsive, communicative, and sent lots of pics and videos. Highly recommend.
Jacob is amazing - TOP TIER! He went above and beyond while he cared for our senior cat Amelie at our home. She has very specific feeding needs since she's older, and Jacob made sure she was eating. Jacob kept her company and brushed her even with her "don't touch me" cattitude. And he provided a BONUS with taking some very awesome photos of her. Jacob is incredibly friendly and trustworthy - highly recommend him for taking care of your pet(s)!
Best dog sitter we have ever had

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a fenced, backyard apartment where your pet receives my undivided attention. For in-home care, I treat your space with complete respect by maintaining routines and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment.
A typical day
I love being a pets play and chill buddy. They’ll get the best of both worlds when we play together and go on walks to get some fresh air and potty breaks, and then relax together on the couch :)
