I care for the pets as if they are own! I love playing and spending time with all animals, especially dogs, and am willing to go the extra mile so they aren’t only cared for, but enjoy me staying with them Unfortunately, I do not care for pets in my own home.

Information Jacob V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your dogs temperament and personality ahead of time so I can be best prepared for their care! This will help me and your pets get off to a great start!

A typical day

I play with the dogs everyday and I love it! I enjoy taking them on walks as well and often times bring them to a elementary school field so they can run and play!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My names Jacob and I am a full time pilot working on my hours and ratings to fly for the airlines. I am currently in training with a major airline but I am only away from home for about 4 hours a day in total. A lot of my time is spent studying and preparing for test, which allows me to spend ample time with your pets! I have a Bachelors of Science degree from Oregon State University and am very reliable! Before I started to pursue a career in aviation, I worked at a CPA firm and was a full time ranch Caretaker & Manager for a mid sized ranch in Central Oregon. There were many animals that were directly under my supervision and care and I am excited to get back to my roots of taking care of household pets! I have experience in noticing signs of injury with multiple types of animals and have brought it to the owner’s attention immediately. In some instances I have been able treat some injuries and brought the animals to the vet if necessary. Just show me how you like them cared for and I will cater to you and their needs! I’m an excellent communicator and am willing to stay in touch whenever needed throughout my stay! No job too big or small. Feel free to reach out with any questions before booking, I will do my best to get back to you in a timely manner.

We were so fortunate to have Jacob take care of our pets and house. He did an excellent job and I would love to hire him again in the future.
