Availability

I do have an open schedule, and I utilize the calendar on Rover for my services, so if you see my calendar, 98% of the time it is up to date. That being said, if you wish to book with me, please give me at least 2 days notice. This will ensure that if I need to move things around in my schedule to accept your booking, I will have time to do so. I will not accept next day or same day bookings.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe the pet's first introduction to me should be done with you there, to allow your animal to see that I am an acceptable visitor in order to have them feel more at ease around me at the start. During this introduction you can communicate to me your pet's needs, fears, and schedule.

Information Jess P. would like to know about your pet

The things I need to know about your pets are the following: I need to know if they have any special needs, behavioral issues, allergies, and fears. I need this information in order to make sure your baby never feels any large amounts of stress with me.

A typical day

I'm willing to provide a walk around your neighborhood to burn off energy as well as work on basic training. If they aren't challenged enough by basic training I can begin teaching them new tricks for mental stimulation, as well as recommend some good puzzle toys for your pooch.

Pet Sitter and Former Dog Groomer

Pet care experience

I have 10 years of experience with pet care and grooming. I am able to house sit, train, exercise, play with, watch, feed, and medicate your dogs. I am experienced in providing life saving medication involving a syringe and needle, the heimlich for dogs, and caring for special needs animals. I am a believer in positive reinforcement and that pain should not be a training tool. I am comfortable working with all breeds of dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals, reptiles, and fish.

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.
