Availability

I am currently looking for anything that will fit my schedule. Please feel free to message me and see if we may schedule a meeting. Meetings are the most important when first meeting a pet in person. After my meetings, it is very easy to book and schedule for any other occasions. Details are important to provide accurate care. I always make sure to answer and leave a message. If I do not work out, feel free to find the best sitter possible! I’m sure there are some amazing individuals willing to care for your fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have two loving dogs that rely on me for their best lives. We love walking in the Sacramento area to experience the beautiful nature surrounding. I make sure that my dogs get the best experience and exercises possible! You can count on me to provide the best experience for pets no matter their care style and personality. Just let me know any specifics and I will provide. I’m your guy!

Information Jacob R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your fur babies need any special care. This can include any oral medication that will be given or added to any food. You can also ask to provide their supplements as well. Also, please let me know if your dog has any behavioral issues so that we may approach them accordingly.

A typical day

Fun activities include anything a pet parent request. Usually, pet parents will ask to feed their pets twice a day, take them out to potty, and play with any toys the pet needs. If a pet parent needs their dog to walk during a long stay, I will go ahead and exercise with them for as long as they need. Cats will usually have their items and I will play with any toys provided for both dogs and cats.

Jacob has been amazing and we are grateful to have him house sit & look after our two furry family members. We were out for over 9 days and needed someone to look after our dogs while we were on the east coast. Jacob was phenomenal- very detailed and respected our wishes for the dogs and went above and beyond. Every day we received updates on walks, feeding (food & treats), working through discipline issues, training them along the way (we are still following his recommendations) and just being the absolute best pet sitter and carer. He is very detailed oriented; we had left some instructions and he not followed those to a tee. The house was clean & immaculate after we returned. Our furry family remembers were happy, healthy and well behaved!! Jacob was also flexible when our flight was delayed and stayed with the dogs till late. I will highly recommend Jacob to anyone who is considering using the service. It’d be hard to find a better sitter and companion. Absolutely the best!!!

Jacob is a fantastic sitter for our dog! He is always so thoughtful and thorough. Friendly, timely, our dog loves him. When he sees issues with your dog or your house, he'll message right away. Highly recommend him!

Jacob kept us informed about what transpired during the walks with our dog. He is very reliable and highly recommend hiring him to walk your dog. Also, Rufus is big! So Jacob is comfortable with big dogs
