Information Jake H. would like to know about your pet

It is good for me to know if your dog jumps when they see us. Also would need to know if the dog(s) are aggressive. Does your dog(s) get along with other dogs and are they allergic to anything. Where is the closest vet is for your pet(s). Your pet(s)' allergies.

A typical day

I have toys for the dogs to play with while at the dog park. I like to walk through the woods that is around the complex that I live in and also to Brighton park to walk around there and give them a little bit more room to walk around then just on a sidewalk.

Pet care experience

I have volunteered for an animal shelter when I was in the US Navy. I love dogs. I can’t go anywhere without stopping to pet someone else’s dog.

Jake was wonderful. He was very prompt and communicated well. He was very good with my dog, giving treats and excersise. He was also very patient as it took a few visits for my dog to get usrd to him. I will definitly use him again.

Jake took AWESOME care of our boy while my family was out the country for 5 days. When our boy was barely eating because he missed us he went out of his way to go to the store and grab wet food to mix his food so he’ll eat. He always sent us pictures and even let us video call. We will definitely be booking with Jake again! Thank you so much again!!!!!

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.
