House Sitting • Jul 03, 2026

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

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!
