I work from home full-time, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home throughout most of the day and can provide regular walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible.

WFH Sitter for Dogs & Cats

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals and having them around has always been a normal part of my day-to-day life. I’m comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and way of feeling comfortable. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attention throughout the day, keep up with regular walks and feeding schedules, and spend time with pets rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather relax nearby while I work, I’m happy to adapt to what they’re used to at home. I offer both boarding in my home and house sitting, and my priority is making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your normal routines and instructions closely and provide regular updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands.

Jacob is one of the most caring people I know. He loves animals and will do a great job watching your pet. I would trust him with my child. So if your pet is like your child, then Jacob is your man. He’s responsible, dependable, patient, and will probably give your pet more attention than you do. I can’t promise your pet won’t like him better by the time you get home, but that’s a risk you’ll have to take.

I have known Jacob for a long time and I would highly recommend his skills with pets. Jacob is kind, caring and attentive with the all animals. He is protective, thoughtful and would be a great choice for pet sitting, dog walking or whatever you need. My pets have always loved Jacob.

Jake watches my baby, Peaches, a very high maintenance Persian kitty, every time I’m out of town (which is fairly often). Peaches LOVES Jake and misses him when I return. He is a natural caregiver to all, but especially with pets. I highly recommend selecting Jake, you won’t be disappointed, inconvenienced or stressed while you’re away. (He is also great about sending photo updates!!!)
