Im fun, loyal and loving

Pet care experience

I've loved dogs and cats my whole life and I have a good reproir with them. As a Rover sitter, I think it is important to give them lots of love and attention, and to keep them safe. A good sitter always keeps in mind how important people's pets are to them, and should make them feel at ease while they are away, and confident that thier babies are in good hands by communicating with them regularly and meeting all of thier needs. I have many repeating clients, and thier pets have become like family members to me over the years. We are always happy to see each other, but also sad when it's time to leave. My most cherished achievement was when I trained my friend's Dotson (Titus) with a fun snack-training system and prepared him for the dog Olympics tournament in Ohio, in which he came first place. I taught Titus to jump and spin, dance and roll-over and etc by directing his motions with the snack and repeating the commands until the snacks were no longer necessary. I used three brands of treats: Bronze treats (hard food); silver treats (soft dog snacks); and gold treats (a piece of white meat. It took a lot of repetition and patience, but after a couple of months, he became the most clever and talented dog i've ever trained. I also taught him to sing "Walk Like A Man" by The 4 Seasons.

Jake was right on time and was ready to play with our pups! He let me know when he arrived and left. Great communication!

I don't know that we communicated well enough to set the right expectations.

Jacob did an awesome job for us! He communicated very well with us while we had him house sit for 5 days. Our 3 dogs warmed up to him quickly and seemingly adjusted well. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who takes his job of watching over your pets and your home seriously.

Safety, trust & environment

I dont do boarding in my own home, but when I'm staying at a client's house, I make sure to keep doors shut and stay mindful when going in and out so they dont run out or get into anything they're not supposed to. I always make sure to ask about the layout of the house and the backyard, so they cant run off. When I'm walking them, I avoid stopping and talking with other people who are walking thier pets, and I always make sure I know how thier leash or harness goes on so they dont slip out of it. And then if they take meds, I set an alarm on my phone with a reminder note.

Information Jacob & Natalie P. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if there is anything in particular that agitates or alarms the dog so I can avoid doing it. I like Dotsons the best.

A typical day

I will take your pet to walk to the nearest park, and around the neighborhood. Get them nice and wound up so they are ready to take a nice nap when they get back home. All dogs love to tug, so why might play a little tug-of-war.

I work part-time in the early evening at Guitar Center, which makes it easy to feed the dogs in the morning and at night. I also get gaps in my teaching schedule which allows me to drop in and take them for a walk or let them out if necessary. I also substitute teach which allows me to make my own schedule and that makes it easier for me to spend plenty of time taking care of people's pets when I have bookings. My other job is very close by so commuting is convenient as well.
