Pet care experience

Hi! My name's Jake. I've been watching dogs for as long as I can remember. From walking neighbor's dogs growing up to watching my roommate's pets when they're out of town and getting a five star rating on Wag, I have a natural ability to connect with just about any dog. I've never seen the movie Must Love Dogs but I firmly agree with title. I live in the Logan Square/Avondale area and will ride a bike anywhere within a five or ten miles. I'll make sure your pets feel at home with me and will attend to their every need so that when you get home to see them, they'll be relaxed and happy and you won't have to worry about them at all.

Jacob was my first dog walker for Bear. He arrived later than booked but communicated his arrival. Jacob was able to answer my questions and we spoke about Bear and his behavior. Jacob returned with a happy pup after an hour. I like the report card that shows the walk they went on. I would recommend.

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.
