Pet care is my daily routine. I love to be around dogs and am home full time during the work day. I do coach soccer so my nights and weekends I will leave for 2 hours at a time, but by this time the dogs are exhausted from playing all day and enjoy the quiet time to relax and recharge for tomorrow's activities!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in yard that is 6 feet in height. I routinely inspect my fence to make sure that there is no sneaky exit points for any dogs. Besides that the dogs get free reign of my house and my yard. I do feed every dog in separate areas so that there is no chance for any food aggression to present itself. I also take extra measures to make sure all dogs don't have additional anxiety such as providing additional comfort during storms if they get fearful. Most importantly I feel that it is for the benefit of the dogs lifetime wellness to communicate with the parents of any behavior that could be worrisome for the dog's own health and well-being.

Information Jess H. would like to know about your pet

Any previous fights with other dogs, any special temperament issues to be aware of, and then any information on what would make your dog the most comfortable.

SM/MED DOG SITTER (UNDER 30 LBS)

Pet care experience

Fully open and ready for the upcoming 2025 Holiday season! Can't wait to provide the best care for your special furry family members while you visit your less furry family members. I will absolutely be providing daily updates and pictures while you create some memories with your 2-legged family members (or while you wish you were at home snuggling with your 4-legged family members). Either way, I'm here for you and for them! I've owned and been around dogs my entire life. I have some dogs that love to socialize with other dogs, and other dogs that prefer to just hang out on the couch and nap. I am very good at keeping in contact with anyone who has me watch their dog and making sure that they feel comfortable that their dog is well taken care of! I offer pet boarding and doggy day care. I'm available 24/7 while watching your pet and love to provide pictures and information on how your pet is doing. If there is an emergency situation I will contact you immediately, otherwise I will provide a more thorough review of the time spent in my care upon pickup. Therefore you will feel comfortable knowing that your pet is well taken care of and you can have some peace of mind. I work from home and while I’m watching your dog I will be available 24/7 to answer any questions you may have or provide any information that you may request. I have a fenced in yard and 3 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I can also crate your dog if requested for your dogs comfort and/or your peace of mind or to just maintain your at-home routine!

Jess always does a great job with Bella! Always communicating through the stay and sending pictures. Bella always seems to be happy when I pick her up :)

Mi-Cha had a great time with Jess and all her other puppy playmates! Jess updated me throughout the day on how Mi-Cha was doing. Would 100% choose Jess the next time I need a sitter!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
