About: I've had pets all my life cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, Bunnies, and taken car of horses. I love animals and am not afraid of their messes. During the summer I have plenty of time to take care of pets though during the school year certain times of day I won't be available due to classes. I've learned to come at pets with the caution they need. I'm very friendly and always want to be sweet to pets but I can be tough if the situation calls for it to not let animals walk all over me. I love animals and like taking the time for their needs.
About: Started caring for pets since I was 10. Mostly dogs and cats along with some awesome rabbits. Neighbors, friends and family relied on me to walk, feed, play, administer medicine, clean liter boxes and give good lovin' to their beloved pets ! Lots of experience staying with pets in their home (sometimes for several weeks at a time) or coming to their home several times days for care. Realized that I was born with a natural rapport with animals. Grateful for this ability and nurtured these skills all my life. I'm currently applying for full-time work, so I'll have plenty of time (flexible hours) to love-up on your dearest dogs with walks, play and treats. Of course, belly rubs are included! Haven't had my own pet in awhile, but lived with housemates who have wonderful animal spirits (dogs, cats and bunnies) to brighten their lives and mine. When I've lived with pets, always check they have plenty of clean water and food and, depending on how they are housed, make sure they are safe in their crates or curled up in their favorite spots before I leave. Always make sure that I know where list of emergency contacts and vet info is located.
About: I was a professional pet photographer for many years, and I have worked at a luxury pet resort. I started accepting Rover bookings in June of 2025. I am available for overnight stays and multi-night stays. I am available on holidays. I will travel out of my area for an additional fee. I will stay with your pets in your home, where they are most comfortable. If they are used to cuddling on the couch with you while you watch television, I will do that. If they are used to being outside a lot, I will take them out (weather permitting of course).
“This was my first time using Rover and Jessica was awesome! She responded within minutes and sent me updates with pictures. I've always used the local vet for dog boarding but will definitely be using Jessica again in the future. I highly recommend her!”
“Kimberly was great with our senior cat Whiskey! He can be very high maintenance and requires several medications that she all handled with ease. She was super responsive and thorough and we appreciate her help!”
About: My animals have always been treated like a member of the family, and are even more spoiled than myself. I will always treat your pet like my own! I work from home so I am available to do daily tasks in between answering emails, phone calls, etc. Pet care comes first before anything! Having a high energy breed myself, I am always striving to make my day fit around my dog. I will meet the needs of your pet based on their energy level and their health.
About: I've been an animal lover since I can remember. I started caring for animals at a young age since my family always had our own pets and I felt a sense of pride in helping with them. When I got older I got a job at a big chain animal store, in the "Pet Care" department where I gained so much hands on experience and knowledge on the care of the most common pets. I'm definitely looking forward to meeting yours!! I work part time so my mornings & afternoons make it possible for me to swing by and care for a couple of cuties in need of a potty break and/or a snuggle, and anything else they would need. I will follow and respect all rules and instructions for the care of your pet(s). My priority is always the safety and wellness of your pet(s).
About: I’ve taken care of cats for a year but I also had a cat growing up. When I did have 2 cats they were my world. I enjoyed every minute when I had them. I’m very passionate about caring for cats. I was working full time at the hospital but I’m free every day Monday-Friday until I get the job that I want but after I get that job I’m still available I don’t have a fenced back yard but my neighbor is a pet friendly environment. I’m near a park that is safe for animals as well.
About: I have owned my own personal animals for the past 6 years, I have 3 dogs (all beautiful muts) and 8 cats. Aside from having my own furry kids, I've also worked in animal rescue for a little over 4 years. This job field has given me so much experience working with every sort of dog breed, and any cat temperament. I currently work a full time job Monday-Thursday but I would love to be more involved in the animal field again. With me having fridays off I feel this is a great opportunity to spend time helping others and hanging out with animals! Since I do have my own animals, I will not be able to provide in home care. However, I will be more than happy to set something up with you to do care for your pets in their own home!
About: As long as I can remember growing up we always had animals mostly dogs. As I got older I have always been the one my friends and family come to when they need someone to care for their pets. I would pet sit, take them on walks , stay with them and play with them. I am a true dog lover through and through. I have had dogs my whole life . My son has 5 dogs and pretty much everyone I know is a pet lover so no matter where I go I’m around animals. I watch dogs for friends and my son often. I can take them to the dog park to run and play with other dogs. We can go on walks and play in the yard.
