A typical day

I prioritize keeping the schedule you’ve set in place as much as possible. However, if they are used to having stay at home humans and need a sitter who can be there ‘round the clock, I am sad to say I am generally unable to accommodate. However, I do multiple check-ins through the day, provide walks and playtime, and always spend the evening and overnights in your home with them during sittings. If you need more attentive care (perhaps for their anxiety), please let me know and I can work something out 💕🙏🏻.

Pawsome Pet Pro: Heart & Experience

Pet care experience

Experienced Rancher-Turned-Petsitter: Passionate About All Creatures Great and Small! **NOTE: my rates are FLEXIBLE. If you have multiple animals, especially if you have dogs and cats, I generally will reduce the rate considerably. Animal care should not be prohibitively expensive; if it feels that way, please let me know and I’m confident that we can work something out. 🙏🏻😊 Growing up on a ranch, my deep-rooted love for animals began early. From tending to a variety of livestock like goats, horses, sheep, pigs, and alpacas, to caring for beloved domestic companions such as cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and even reptiles, my experience spans across the animal kingdom. Currently sharing my life with two spirited Boston Terriers and a charming sphinx cat, I understand the importance of providing meticulous care, engaging walks, and playful interactions for our furry friends. Over the years, friends, neighbors, and clients have consistently relied on me to extend my nurturing touch to their beloved fur-babies. Trustworthy and compassionate, I am committed to ensuring their well-being, just as if they were my own.

Jess did an amazing job with our two pups, one of which is a senior lab with health complications. She communicated throughout the stay and touched base with questions she had about our old guys care. We felt grateful to have Jess stay with our duo while we were gone and would happily book her again.

Jess does a fantastic job watching our dog and chickens. She sends pictures every day and updates throughout the time we are away!

Jess was lovely! We have some behavioral issues right now between our two cats and Jess was so communicative when managing it, which we really appreciated. She is very thoughtful with our pets.

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.
