Pet care experience

Playful, responsible, and confident

I've grown up with dogs since I was 8 years old and have loved taken on the responsibilities. I also have experience taking care of friends' and family's variety of pets. I currently have my own 1 year old Australian Shepherd who has taught me so much about raising and training a dog. I will give your pets the attention, time, and patience that they deserve. I currently work remotely so I am very flexible with providing pet care and ensuring that your pets get quality time! I love spending time walking, playing fetch, or exercising with my dog everyday and would love to do the same with yours. I am always thoughtful of a pet's needs and am respectful of their space. I practice good spatial awareness with my own high energy dog and understand how important it is to properly monitor a pet's behavior.

Jake is a dog's dream buddy. He took great care of my high energy dog, knew exactly how to wear him out, and even took my pup on adventures to the dog parks and mountains. He kept me informed of everything going on and sent lots of pics. Thank you, Jake!!

Dog Walking • sept. 26, 2021

Jake has been fabulous with my dog— he clearly has a great energy with animals and his dog Atlas has been a major bonus as Hanu loves playing chase with him. Additionally, he’s prompt and professional with his replies and shares some adorable photos. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a walker!

Jake was awesome. He stayed at our house and watched Oliver for 5 days. He had his mini Aussie over as well so they got to play all day. He took Oliver on a few walks and sent us countless pictures and updates. He even dropped us off and picked us up from the airport. Best dog sitter in the Salt Lake area.

Jake was awesome! I totally recommend him. He took a job completely last minute, he asked questions to know what to expect and what needs to be done every day, and he was flexible with our schedule possibly needing overnight or just check ups. He went above and beyond and took our pup for walks to the park, around the block and played with him out back until he was all pooped out. Jake sent us photos of all the fun they were having while we were away. He was also quick to reply to texts on how things are going. He's also great with cats, I forgot to mention our cat on the Rover site and he didn't mind. He spent time with our cat in a seperate room since the cat and dog haven't meshed well yet. Jake was a natural at getting Koda (our dog) to be friendly and trust him. I have nothing bad to say, Jake is a great guy who is great with pets. I recommend going with Jake next time you need a pet sitter!
