Pet care experience

Flexible and Dependable!

Pets are my jam! I've had and taken care of pets since I was young kid. I've lived with and taken care of both dogs and cats. I've trained my shelter pup from a young age and she is a well mannered delight. My care experience ranges from handicap senior pets that require multifaceted amounts of attention to simple one day drop-ins for food, potty breaks and love.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment with my 45lb heeler mix. I can crate her if need be, but she does very well with most dogs and cats! I always like to do a meet n greet to make sure everyone is happy.

My recently adopted dog, Chaser, needed someone attentive and loving to care for him while I was out-of-town. A friend highly recommended Jacob, and now I'm telling every pet parent I know about the amazing job he did. Jacob took good care of Chaser. They walked frequently, played ball outside and squeaky toys inside. Jacob kept Chaser on his regular feeding routine, gave medications on time, and paid attention to behaviors that I needed to know about. His care kept Chaser feeling safe and secure. I appreciate the job he did and definitely will call on Jacob again.

Jacob is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our fur family. I would trust him with our 2 large dogs and cats any time! Right off the bat when we first met him we got an excellent first impression. He is very friendly and pays great attention to detail and was great with our children (pets)! When we came home after our week away, our pets were relaxed, happy and looked great. Absolutely recommend and will use him again and again!

Jacob was super attentive and communicative -- with regular updates on how Lewis was doing (including pictures!!). I really appreciated his flexibility and proactive approach to sorting out details about Lewis' care. It's great to have a reliable sitter for future needs :)

Jacob was recommended to us by a coworker who has worked with him before. Jacob watched our cat and dogs while we were away, and he also house sat for us. He was very communicative and friendly, and he left the house in perfect shape! It is great to have someone we can trust when we are away. His dog Luna is so sweet too!

Jacob is amazing with our two cats!! He is super detail oriented and took amazing notes on all the instructions I left. He followed all the proper cat "greeting" protocols and my cats loved him. He gave them extra play time, always sent photos each visit and was super diligent about asking questions if he ever had them. On top of being great with animals, Jacob is a really solid person who is consistent, communicative, kind and flexible. He always prioritizes my pets on days we are gone and is exceedingly trustworthy. He even goes the extra mile each time and does things like bringing in our mail or letting us know when a package shows up. Jacob is a wonderful pet sitter and will take great care of your fur babies!
