Looking to make new animal pals! 🐕

Pet care experience

I am new to Rover but not new to caring for animals! I have been fortunate enough to take care of loving animal companions for the past 13 years. Over the years, Ive sat dogs in my own home, stayed with dogs requiring special attention at others’ homes, and checked in on animals throughout the day. I am extremely communicative with owners, incredibly attentive to the pet’s needs, and am readily available to attend to various requirements for your pet. I work full time, but I only work from the office on Wednesdays, which provides me plenty of time to play with and care for those that I’m looking after!

Jake as a pet caregiver is warm, fun and energetic! He has watched my young Shih Tzu regularly over the last 2 years and is most certainly my pups favorite person! I trust Jake and highly recommend him for pet setting to anyone!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard and an incredibly walkable neighborhood, where I love to walk those pets that I’m sitting! My roommate also cares for animals, so our house is very accommodating for dogs of all needs and sizes. When caring for pets in others’ homes, I always have thorough discussions with the parents/home owners to ensure that I can be as respectful and accommodating as possible.

A typical day

I love to be on the move with animals (if that’s what they also like!). My neighborhood has great smells, parks, and options for exploration. I also have a fenced in backyard where I can play with your pup or as long as they’d like! I also love spending down time with cats and dogs, and am happy to meet them at their speed/pace.
