Experienced Dog Sitter with Yard

I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 6 years, including dog-sitting through my girlfriend's Rover account. I grew up with a dog who lived to 15 and two long-lived cats, giving me experience with senior pet care. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I'm familiar with handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments.

Jacob took such good care of our puppy. This was our first time leaving him with a sitter and Jacob immediately put our mind at ease and we knew Lincoln would be in good hands. He was also very responsive and flexible with scheduling. Jacob is the best!

My pets love Jacob so much, and while it's hard to leave the pets for vacation, it's great knowing they're in such loving hands. Thank you so much Jacob!

Jacob was great and my dog loves him! It's great to know my dog is well taken care of while I'm out of town.

We had a great experience with Jacob. When our dog sees him around the neighborhood she wants to follow him and leave us 😂 would definitely use again.

I'm currently not working full-time, so I have the flexibility to dedicate my time to caring for your pets. I can accommodate overnight stays, weekend care, and frequent drop-ins during the day. This flexibility allows me to ensure your dog gets the attention and care they need, whenever needed.

Safety, trust & environment

My home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and my mom and stepdad are also around to help give your dog extra love and attention. Your pet will be well cared for in a secure and loving environment, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy during their stay.

A typical day

Each day includes plenty of outdoor time in my fenced backyard for your dog to run and play safely. We'll go on walks around the neighborhood for fresh air and exercise, followed by indoor playtime or relaxation depending on your dog’s energy level. I'll also make sure to provide regular meals, fresh water, and lots of attention and affection to keep your pup happy and comfortable throughout the day.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines, or medications. It's also helpful to know about their energy level, favorite activities, and any preferences for walks or playtime. If there are any behaviors or anxieties I should be aware of, feel free to share so I can provide the best care possible.
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.
