Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard where i let my four dogs out freely to do their business and get their energy out, while I get their food bowls ready and check their water. As for watching dogs, I will follow the instructions provided to ensure the dog is safe and in routine for when the owner returns home. Whether the dog needs to be walked with a leash, or left in a crate for the night, none of these would be a problem

Information Jacob W. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to be made aware of any history (if there is any) of aggression or anxiety so I can plan accordingly, which in turn will help me provide the best care I can for your beloved pet(s). I’d also like to know if there are any medications that your pet(s) would need, whether it be more temporary/short term (i.e. after a recent vet visit for an issue) or if it would be a constant, long term medication so that I can add it to my notes in the event that you’d need my services again.

A typical day

I try to keep dogs in their natural swing of things so they won’t get anxious or stressed while the pet parents are gone, so whatever schedule/routine you have with your pet(s), I will try to match to make it easier for everyone!

I worked at a dog kennel for 2 years, where i was in charge of feeding, potty breaks, medicine (if applicable), cleaning kennels, bonding time, bathes (wet/dry), and brushing. I have been around animals my whole life and have always had a pet, even if it was something small like a fish.

Jacob helped us out with a last minute request and we couldn’t be happier with the level of care he provided to our two pups! He was very attentive to what our pups needed and helped our dog with separation anxiety feel at ease while we were away.

We will definitely rebook with Jacob when available. He kept up with communication and was always there for my dogs as needed. The multiple photos each visit were a nice touch since we were out out town.

Jacob is paws-itively the best! We've used his services several times, and every experience has been fantastic. Our dogs absolutely love him, and it's obvious he genuinely cares about them. When we come home they are happy, well cared for, and excited to see him again. Finding someone you trust with your pets is priceless, and Jacob has earned our confidence every time. Highly recommend—great piece of mind and your dogs will thank you!

Jacob did an outstanding job caring for our rabbit, Bunny, while we were away. He was incredibly communicative, responded quickly to every message, and always arrived on time, staying for the full visit. He had no trouble giving Bunny her medication, sent thoughtful updates and great photos after each visit, and made us feel completely at ease. We also came home to everything spotless and exactly as we had left it, which we really appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to book Jacob again and will absolutely be asking him to watch Bunny the next time we travel!

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.
