I've been using Jacob for about a year and half now, and the peace of mind is priceless.

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

Jacob was awesome. I needed a dog sitter for two large retrievers for a short out of town trip. Jacob was available and we set up a time to meet. Jacob was prompt and very professional. I was very comfortable with having him stay at my home with the dogs. During his stay, he was very communicative and sent lots of photographs. He didn’t mind my constant checking in from afar. My neighbors gave him their nod of approval. He treated my dogs like they were his own and that was much appreciated. They were very spoiled while under Jacob’s care. I would highly recommend Jacob. You won’t be disappointed. I look forward to having him return for future dog sitting.

When I book with Jacob, I know that I’m receiving consistent and dedicated care for my pup. It’s been a relief to have him check-in on my pup when needed!

Schedule

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!

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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
