Availability

I work a 24-on/48-off schedule as a firefighter, which means I have plenty of full days off to fit in visits, walks, and even hiking outings. My schedule gives me the flexibility to spend real, quality time with your pets rather than rushing in and out. I’m also open to house sitting! Because of my shifts, we’d just need to plan coverage for the times I’m on duty. I have trusted contacts in the local pet care community, or I’m happy to coordinate with another sitter of your choice to make sure your pets always have consistent care.

Safety, trust & environment

My primary focus is to treat your pet like he or she was my own. When your pet is under my care, you can rest assured that they will be loved, respected, and protected! I will provide an environment comfortable for your pet to be themselves and enjoy our time together, and maintain a safe and proper experience for them!

Information Jes S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much as I can about your dog so I can keep them comfortable and happy. Please share any medical issues, allergies, or major medical/surgical history. It also helps to know what commands they respond to, how well they listen, and if there are any triggers I should be aware of — like other dogs, new people, or loud noises. Don’t worry if you’re not sure what to include — just tell me what you think I should know and we’ll go from there.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about meeting your pet where they’re happiest. That could be a game of fetch, a walk around the neighborhood, or letting them take their time on a good sniffing adventure. If they’re more of a couch companion, we can stay inside and enjoy some cuddle time and companionship instead. For pups who love a little extra adventure, ask me about my Hiking Outings — a great way to burn off energy and explore beyond the backyard.

Trustworthy care, happy dogs!

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I share my home with three amazing best friends — two German Shepherds and a Labrador — and I love spending my free time outdoors with them. I spend a lot of my off-shift time hiking the beautiful trails around Loudoun, and for dogs who would enjoy joining me, I offer safe, supervised Hiking Outings. For my day job, I’m a firefighter with Loudoun County, which gives me a unique schedule with plenty of days off. That flexibility allows me to dedicate real time and attention to caring for other people’s pets. Before joining the fire service, I worked in Emergency Veterinary Medicine as a receptionist, where I saw firsthand how important it is to notice the little details in a pet’s health and behavior. That background taught me to spot potential red flags early and communicate clearly with owners if something ever seems off. Professional, reliable, and compassionate, I’ll treat your best friends like family — making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

James and Michaela were very responsive during their visits - took the time to feel out the dog’s moods (we have one dog who struggles with anxiety), and adjusted the visits accordingly so the dogs were comfortable. It is clear they love dogs and are very experienced. I greatly appreciated the thoroughness of the Rover cards after each visit. Very happy with their service and would highly recommend!
