I’ll walk (or run!) your dog

Pet care experience

I am a life-time animal lover that values the life of all living things, including insects. In my home, I have a “catch and release” policy on insects—these creatures do not aim to harm, they only seek the same comforts as we; if this is the level of compassion I show towards unloved creatures, imagine the care provided to your beloved pet. Many friends and family have active dogs that they are unable to provide exercise for. As someone who runs daily, I sympathize with these animals that were designed to cover miles upon miles per day. Spending time walking and running with these dogs has given me an understanding of their physical limitations and methods to improve cardiovascular and overall physical health. My skills are not limited to dogs; throughout my life I have cared for cats, rabbits, ducks, parakeets, cocktails, fish, turtles, lizards and snakes. If you have other pet needs outside of dogs, I am willing to care for them as well!

Jacob was fantastic and stayed to whole time and took great care of our pets. And was very helpful and caring to help our elderly cat to eat her food. He also keep the house neat and even brought the mail in.

Jacob was amazing! This was our first time using Rover so I was very hesitant at first but after reviewing Jacob’s profile and seeing all the awesome things people had to say about him I thought we would take a chance and I’m so happy we did. Our kittens were well taken care of and our home was just as we had left it. Thank you so much

A typical day

When it comes to walks, I am flexible about locations: neighborhood, local surface streets, nearby parks or trails are all acceptable; your boundaries are my boundaries! When it comes to playing, I feel I can match any dogs energy. I always have a frisbee and a tennis ball in my vehicle and never hesitate to bring them out; some of my favorite activities are playing fetch and tag. I am known for playing hard and ending up dirty—I always clean my animals as best as possible with a brush or dry towel, but don’t mind giving a full bath if that’s what is needed: don’t hesitate to ask!
