I will treat your dog like my own and give them all the attention and love they need! I have my own rescue pup, Jax, who is i treat like my own child. I always have a special connection with dogs and enjoy walking, playing and caring for them very much.

I have experience caring for a variety of dog breeds, sizes and special needs. From old dogs to young puppies, I love all dogs! I’m currently self-employed, so i have plenty of free time to fit what you need for your dog in my schedule. I am available most days and weekends. I take safety for your dog very seriously. This means always making sure harnesses and leashes are properly fitted and attached before opening the door for walks. I also take extra care when entering and leaving the home to make sure everyone stays where they need to be. I will keep a close eye on your pet on walks and visits to make sure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t!

About: I’m ready to look after your pet how YOU want them looked after. I’ve had my own dogs looked after by different sitters over the years, and I understand the importance of the right person looking after your pet. I wanted my dogs to be excited to see their carer but not be disregulated by the experience. I will provide the same experience for you. Routines will be kept to and tails will be wagging. As well as owning dogs, I have looked after a variety of friends’ and family’s dogs, as well as dogs through a similar app, for over 20 yrs. I have looked after puppies, elderly and ill dogs. My dog sadly died this September and I miss spending time with dogs! I’ve got a lot of love and care to give and will treat your dog as my own. I currently work part-time from home and can help out before 8am and after 3pm on the weekdays and anytime at weekends. Happy to do short or long walks, pop in to help with a toilet break or meds or spend some time keeping your furry friend company. I am happy to come to your house to look after your pet or pick up your pet and take them on short or long walks. I can help with training or just exercise or give attention. I have a car so, with your permission, can take your fur baby on an adventure to the beach or different parks.
20. Jessica K.
“Jessica has a genuine love for all animals and brings years of valuable experience from caring for kittens/cats, puppies/dogs, guinea pigs, fish, and snakes. Her compassion and dedication ensure that every pet is in safe and loving hands. Given Rover's commitment to connecting pet owners with trusted sitters, Jessica’s background and passion for animals make her an ideal fit for Rover. I have no doubt she will excel and become a highly valued member of the Rover family.”
