About: I have had pets all my life! My chihuahua is 15 years old , he is like a child to me. I take the time and patience with everything I do. Pets bring joy to my life and I will treat your pet with love and care! I work remotely from home and have the freedom of my own schedule most days. I'm happy to help in any way I can. I can stop in on lunch breaks and anytime after 3 during the week. I'm free most weekends all day. When caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I give plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection, while also respecting each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I keep their environment clean, their needs met, and always make sure they get the same level of care they’re used to with you. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with two joyful Standard Poodles who are walked and/or run with daily. We love staying active and having fun—our fenced, dog-friendly backyard is perfect for zoomies, games of fetch, and lounging in the sun. We even enjoy a little casual agility play for enrichment and variety! I work from home, which means your pup will get lots of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’d love to open our home to regular daycare playdates with other friendly dogs. Whether your dog loves to romp, sniff, nap, or play chase, they’ll find a welcoming environment here. We’re all about creating a happy, safe, and playful pack. Let me know if you’d like to schedule a meet-and-greet—we’d love to get to know you and your sweet pup. I work from home full-time, so I’m always nearby. My weekly routine includes daily dog walks, backyard play, and plenty of time for cuddles and supervision. I have two friendly Standard Poodles who love to play and socialize. They enjoy backyard games, daily walks, and make great companions for visiting pups.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I grew up owning dogs, small rodents, and fish. I pet sat for several families when I was in highschool and I am on-call for my friends if they ever need a sitter. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats and they are my children. I am an excellent communicator and, if you'd like, you can expect pictures both flattering and not of your pets. I am currently in school and have class from 9-3 with breaks for lunch during the week. I can be available every weekday except for wednesdays throughout the day for drop-ins. I will treat your animals as well as my own. I am a fan of routines and will abide by yours to the best of my ability. I know how important consistency can be to make pets feel safe when their people are away. I am not able to board animals at my home.

About: I have been pet sitting through Rover for 4-ish years now and love it! I personally have 3 cats and a bunny that I spend most of my time with when I’m not working my day job. I love all animals, and will try my best to accommodate their needs! Currently I work full time Monday-Thursday from 8AM-5PM. I typically take my lunch around 12PM, so there is also a 1 hour gap around there I may be able to squeeze a visit in. I know it is uncomfortable to have someone you are not super familiar with be present. Please be upfront about what is ok and what isn’t ok to poke around in!

Jessica was so wonderful with my cats. She was so flexible because my kitten disappeared the day. I was taking her to her house. She went to the effort of coming to my house to look for my kitten the day after I left and every day after until my kitten showed up. She watched my kitten for me and stopped by my house every day to feed my cats which they very much appreciated and so did I as I could enjoy my time with family out of state knowing that all three of my cats were cared for.
