Jake took great care of my 13 year old dog Ollie for 3days/nights in his place! Ollie needs meds 3 times per day which was no problem for Jake. He took him on long walks which Ollie loves. He’s very sweet and accommodating and I’ll definitely use him again. I knew Ollie was in good hands!

Jake did an excellent job dog sitting for us. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about Archie. We would definitely have him again and also recommend Jake to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

Jake was absolutely fantastic!! It was our first time ever using Rover and he made us feel very at ease dropping our dogs off. Would highly recommend Jake and will definitely be using him again!

Jake was great with my dog Boots. His apartment was clean and spacious and boots seemed to take a liking to him right away. I had a last minute event i had to work and Jake was able to accommodate even on short notice.

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.
