Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to stick to your animals routine as much as possible for their comfort and ease...so I always appreciate notes/info about feeding style, energy level, sleeping arrangements. If doing drop ins I am always conscious to hide a key properly and bring in mail on doorsteps.

Information Jesika D. would like to know about your pet

General temperament is good to know. Vet information. Is your pet high or low energy? Animal/people friendly? Ok in the car? Are there any medical concerns or issues? What is your animals ideal day? The more information I get on your pooch/kitty the better I can prepare and cater to your pets particular needs for the best possible visit.

A typical day

Depends on what your dog or cat is up for. Long or short walks, playing with toys or just snuggling on the couch is all fine with me!

Experienced animal lover

Pet care experience

I have recently moved back to Maine from California. I have had/have pets of all kinds. I currently have 1 dog, 2 cats and chickens. I have fostered over 48 dogs in the last 5 years(including 4 pregnant moms and then their litters). I have extensive experience with puppies and seniors requiring specialized care. My cat of 21 years passed several years ago and she required subcutaneous fluids (and meds)every day for years. My senior dog with Cushings disease and Dilated cardio myopathy recently passed. I have experience with most breeds and sizes (from 6 pounds to 120) I have NO breed restrictions! I also have experience with most farm animals(chickens, goats, horses, cows, llamas) and am able to do what I call "whole farm check ins" in the greater Portland area. I have experience with "packs" and can handle multiple dogs/animals from the same house hold.

Jesika was communicative, kind, and very patient with our anxious puppy. She was great to work with and was able to accommodate us on short notice, which was a tremendous help.

Jesika was amazing! I was visiting a friend in healdsburg and we planned to go to a hot spring on Thanksgiving day but I had to leave my girl behind. Jesika popped over to check in, walk, feed, & play. My dog was tired when I got home even after being in her crate for a good portion of the day. Thanks Jesika !

Jesika was an amazing sitter! She made sure that our cats were taken care of and more than exceeded our expectations as first time Rover users. We are so grateful for her to come and help us even during the holidays.
