Jacob is communicative, reliable, and naturally gifted with animals. He was patient, attentive, and wonderfully caring my unpredictable pitbull mix. She bonded strongly with him in a record amount of time. Highly recommend!

Jacob was great with my cat, Simon! He also was super communicative and shared lots of great photos of the two of them playing, which I appreciated. I will definitely be asking Jacob for help in the future to check on Simon when I’m traveling!

I have booked with Jacob a couple times where he came many days at a time. He is wonderful! As a pet mom of a senior dog, it can be hard to leave them and trust a sitter. It is easy to trust Jacob! He is responsible, on time, and sends the best pics of my babies!

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.
