The Best Care for Your Best Friend

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Jess and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats throughout my entire life. As an owner of lovable rescue pups, I am patient and understanding of all dogs and their unique quirks. I live in a house that has a fenced yard, so there will be plenty of space for your pup to both play and relax, and they are more than welcome to lounge on the furniture if they’d like. I work from home and will be with your pet throughout the entire day for whenever they need a potty break or some loving attention. I also offer drop-in visits for both dogs and cats of all kinds. I’d love to get to know you and your pet, so please contact me if you’d like to schedule a visit anytime!

Jess is super responsive and always handles everything without a hitch. She's super kind and always gets cute goofy pics of our babies. Always grateful to have an amazing pet sitting option ❤️

Jess was great with our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She visited them twice a day and took great care of them for a week while we were on vacation. She sent us messages and pictures for each visit. Our pets were very happy and well cared for when we returned. It was like we never left! Jess is very sweet and knows how to handle a very neurotic great dane who took a while to let her close. But she did and all went well. I would definitely ask Jess to come back for our next vacation.

Jess always does the best job taking care of our four cats. This is our third time using her and we don’t plan on ever stopping! She always does such an amazing job sending updates and pictures and she always goes above and beyond!

My dog Gibbs is very friendly with all of our guests. He’s getting a bit older and normally keeps to himself, but we stay active with walks at a nearby park and plenty of fetch in our fenced backyard. For drop-in visits I’m happy to adapt to whatever routine your dog or cat is used to!

Information Jess W. would like to know about your pet

Tell me everything! I really want to get to know your pet’s personality, favorite activities, and of course any areas of concern such as being skittish in some situations.

A typical day

We have a pretty calm and relaxed environment during the week days while I’m working from home, but we’ll never turn down an opportunity to play or head outside. I have tons of toys and treats for tough chewers and am always happy to see my Rover clients get some use out of them.
