Availability
Pet sitting is my full-time job, so pet care easily fits into my usual routine. I'm a regular ol' homebody, so the only time I am away from home is when I'm doing my weekly grocery shopping, going to an appointment, or conducting drop-in visits for other pets. It is very rare that both my husband (my emergency backup helper) and I are ever away from the house for more than a couple of hours at a time, so your pet will never be alone for very long. If your pet suffers from severe separation anxiety, please let me know and I will make special arrangements to stay at home for as much as I can during their stay.

About Jean P.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always do my best to care for every pet I sit for the same way their owners do. This is why Meet & Greets are very important to me—they allow me to ask owners questions like what games their pet(s) like to play, what kinds of treats they like and how often I should give them, and what (if any) fears they have and how to handle them. I believe that the less difference there is between their normal life and home and life in my house, the better.
Home
Information Jean P. would like to know about your pet
For me, personally, the most important thing I need to know about a dog ahead of time is how they behave towards cats. There's some wiggle room for rambunctious or 'unsure' dogs, as I am lucky enough to be able to sequester my cat away upstairs for the duration of a visit. However, for everyone's safety and peace of mind, I can't accept a cat-aggressive or a prey-driven dog into my home. Other things I absolutely need to know before a visit: - If their shots are up-to-date, and the name, address, and number of their regular vet. - What (if any) medications they're on, and how those medications are administered. (I can not give shots.) - If they are dog friendly or not, so I can plan our walking schedule accordingly. - If they suffer from separation anxiety, so I can alter my schedule and be at home as much as possible during their stay. - Direct contact numbers for the owner and an emergency contact (just in case). Finally, I require a small test walk during our Meet & Greet, just to see how they are on a lead. I'm not as strong as I used to be, and the weight range on Rover is quite wide—41-100 lbs for a large dog, while I can handle up to 60 lbs. Handleability is key here, for keeping your dog (and my arm) safe and happy.
A typical day
I live in a pet-friendly community that has several doggie bag stations. I walk frequently and am familiar with the schedules of other neighbors, especially those who allow their pups to go off leash to potty outside (which are thankfully rare). This has come in handy when I've boarded dogs who are not so friendly towards other dogs. I have some toys of my own in my home, as well as treats, and will spoil your dogs as much as you'll let me. I am okay with dogs being on the furniture, or even sleeping in bed with me and my husband. My husband also a dog lover, and will give them plenty of affection of his own.

A sensible sitter in a comfy home.
Pet care experience
I have had several jobs throughout my life where I have cared for pets in some way or another. I've worked as a dog bather in a grooming salon, walked dogs full-time for a couple of years, and have performed drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and caged critters (hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits) all throughout. I have been boarding, pet sitting, and dog walking in Panama City Beach for over 8 years now (first via ads through Craigslist, then through Rover). I have no biases against any breed of dog, and have experience sitting for both senior and special needs pets. I'm not normally the type of person to say "Just check out my overwhelmingly positive reviews," but those certainly don't hurt my case, either. If you have any questions in regards to how/if I can care for your special needs pet, please ask! Inquiries are always free, and I never charge for a Meet & Greet.

Reviews
Jean treats Jasper so great and he is always happy with her. Great communication and she clearly cares about his well being with regular updates.
Jean took such good care of our cockapoo over the 4th of July holiday week!! She kept us updated every day… and with thunderstorms and the noise of all the fireworks, Jean adjusted her schedule and provided the comfort and the security that Toby needed. She truly cared about him and was very knowledgeable. We would rebook with Jean if we were to vacation in Florida again!
Jean was a wonderful sitter for our dog! She provided regular updates, and I know he was happy and well cared for during our vacation. I highly recommend her and hope to use her again!
This was our 2nd time having Jean watch our sweet boy and she was just as amazing! It’s such a relief knowing while we’re out of town that our doggie is in great hands and the daily updates make me happy to see he’s having such a good time.
