Best active duty marine babysitter!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I just have this instant connection with animals. I always babysit my friends and families dogs, and found rover through one of my friends. I’ve gotten very good feedback and love pets so thought I’d give rover a shot.

I can’t say enough good things about Jacob and his wife, Frida! Howie had such a fun time with them and loved playing with their dog, Sabbath. They went above and beyond giving him lots of treats, pup cups and plenty of playtime! I got multiple updates and pictures/videos everyday, and just knew Howie was in the best of hands. Jacob and Frida are simply the best! 1000% recommend and will absolutely be asking them to dogsit for us again in the future!

Jacob and his wife were great! They provided several updates and pictures throughout my dog's stay. I appreciated their attention to detail while caring for her!

Amazing experience. They are my new go to for when I need to go out of town and can’t bring my pup. Sent me update pictures everyday, asked questions, kept me informed with everything. My dog loved them and their dog as well!

Jacob and his beautiful wife were AMAZING with my lil Tango! They took very very good care of my senior pooch and were very communicative (pictures and texts) about his care. Jacob went above and beyond by taking apart & fixing my dogs broken leash! They are sweet people and I can tell they LOVE animals. My Tango was a part of their family while he was there. He was well fed and loved! I will DEFINITELY book with them again!!

I have a fur baby of my own, he’s 2 years old, terrier mix, and neutered. He’s good and gentle with all animals, he’s a sweetheart. I take him on daily walks, potty breaks, and swim time at the lake. He’s also allowed on the couch and bed so you’re pet is also welcome to do so as well, we like to give them the freedom to be comfortable in our space.

Information Jacob S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, or needed medication or anything in general that you think your dog specifically needs. So I can do my best to take care of them. Anything I can do to make their life a little easier I’d be more than happy to do!

A typical day

I love to go on walks and hikes frequently so they will be staying active throughout the day! Our dog is very spoiled so he has lots of toys and loves sharing so you’re dog is welcome to lots of toys/outdoor time/ playtime/nap time! If you’re dog has to anything specific throughout the day just let me know and I’ll do my best!

I am an active duty military member serving on Fort Gordon currently. My wife is stay at home full time as well. I only have one dog and he can get lonely sometimes so babysitting another dog is a win win for the both of us :). I would love to care for your fur baby and meet their needs. I enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood or going to a nice park and I always take my dog and would love to include you’re pet to our daily routine !
