I Will Care for Your Pets as Family

Hi my name is Jacob, and I have a sincere and genuine love for animals of all kinds. I have been caring for animals for the last 9 years which has enabled me to provide reliable and loving pet care to my clients. I have experience with both young pets and senior pets big and small, to include a sweet potbelly pig! I am also versed in administering routine medications including injecting insulin with a needle and bathing as needed. I’m currently a full-time pet sitter and college student, dedicated to lovingly caring for your “furson” while you are away. Since pet care is my full-time focus my schedule can be flexible to your needs. I understand how much your pet is a part of your family and they will be treated with love, playtime, cuddles, walks, and constant attention and treats! I am very clean and tidy and for overnight or long term pet care I take pride in keeping a watchful eye on not only your pets but your home as well. I believe in going the extra mile and am happy to bring in mail and packages, as well as taking and removing trash receptacles as needed. 
It is my mission to keep your pet on their usual routine, so that they will be comfortable and happy while you are away. Communication is important to me, so you will receive daily communication with pictures of your pets for added peace of mind.

Jacob did SUCH a great job with our three dogs. He handled our wild border collie mix, old/grumpy chihuahua, and our 4 month old chorkie like an absolute pro. I couldn't ask for a better dog sitter!! He also kept our house so nice and clean, you can tell he respects both your home and your pets.

Jacob took good care of our precious fur babies while we were out of town for a few days. The dogs are energetic so I know it was hard work. We especially valued that Jacob took the time for a meet and greet before the booking to ensure compatibility . Jacob proved to be a professional and trust worthy young man and we will book again with him again in the future.

Before accepting a job I typically do a meet and greet to get an idea of what I'll need to do when I arrive at your house and get a general feel for your animals personallity. Good things to know prior to booking is special medications or special needs and what times they get fed.
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.
