Providing Tail-Waggingly Good Care!

Pet care experience

I love all animals like they are my own! I have experience caring for animals at a young age and taken care of them in their senior years. I wholeheartedly understand that animals are an important part of families and I know that animals are more comfortable in their own homes with food and things/surroundings that they are familiar with. I will provide the care and attention that you would give them, so you can have peace of mind on your time away. I have 10+ years of experience house/pet sitting (outside & inside of rover) and have more experience with older dogs and dogs that need medication daily. I know it's a great feeling when you know that your animals and home are safe with someone that you can trust to take care of while you’re away. (Full disclosure, I am not a dog trainer and cannot provide training to your dog/dogs.) (Per Rover guidelines-Please disclose security cameras and other recording devices in or around your home. They are prohibited in private areas, such as bedrooms and bathrooms that you have designated for the use of your pet care provider. You are responsible at all times for the legal and appropriate use of your cameras and recording devices.)

Jess did a great job watching Loki and our house while we were on vacation. She kept our husky very happy and entertained, kept us informed on how things were going with messages and pictures. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Jess. She is our go to Rover now!

Jess is excellent!! She took such a good care of my dogs and my house. When it comes to look for a pet sitter having a reliable and experienced person is the most important thing for me. I would highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted and experienced pet sitter! She has a very calm demeanor and my dogs felt very comfortable around her. Thank you again Jess! :)

Book this woman!!!! I have super happy animals without pent up energy. (Actually they may be disappointed it was us.) My house is cleaner than I left it. She communicated well, and just overall made us feel good about being away from our crybabies.

I used Jess for several years when I lived in Iowa, usually a couple of times a year or more. I absolutely loved her. She did the little things that go above and beyond, like taking the garbage out - bringing in the mail and packages, leaving my house cleaner than she found it and even taking my pups to the dog park. There was one stay where my Sheltie choked on some food and she literally gave him mouth-to-mouth. She saved his life. We miss her a lot and can't recommend her enough!

Safety, trust & environment

I create a safe place for dogs, as a stranger in their home I always remain calm and try and read the animals energy. I always want them to feel safe and comfortable especially if they get anxious or upset that their owner is gone.

Information Jess J. would like to know about your pet

Personality, food and treat preferences, meal times, usual potty breaks, medications etc, if needed. Please talk to me about any aggressions/reactivity beforehand, especially if you have multiple dogs.

A typical day

Local bike trails/parks/sidewalks. I reciprocate energy with animals so if they want to play I will interact, if not gentle pets or hanging around works just as well.
