Pet care experience

Pets are my jam! I've had and taken care of pets since I was young kid. I've lived and taken care of both dogs and cats. I've trained my shelter pup from a young age and she is an absolute 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.

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!

I live in an apartment with my 45lb heeler mix. I can crate or separate her if need be, but she does very well with most dogs! I have water, toys and sufficient bedding out to make sure they enjoy their stay with us :)

Information Jacob R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any specific eating or play routines, allergies, social anxiety or past mental/physical traumas that I need to be conscious of during their stay with me.

A typical day

Since I live in an apartment I usually take the pets to a nearby open field to get all their zoomies out! There are plenty of trails in my area that provide great mental, visual and smell stimulation :D
