Pet care experience

Dedicated and Thorough

I've owned and trained dogs for over ten years. I've done almost everything, from giving medicine to nail trimming and bell training. My job as a caregiver instilled solid principles that I'll put to work for your pets, so you can rest easy knowing that they'll be treated like family. I would say my approach to pet care is best described as intuitive and detail-oriented. I want to learn all I can about your pet before I begin caring for them to ensure their safety and comfort. In fact, safety is my first concern. From picking the best route for walks, to making sure hazards are mitigated in the home, everything is done to keep your pet safe and happy.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

For my own pets I'm careful to introduce new people and animals in a way that mitigates stress. We follow a pretty simple schedule and everyone is happy. When there is an issue between my pets, I am quick to impose myself between them and deescalate their disagreement, separating them as needed. Exercise is an important part of the day for Rufus, so fetch is a regular occurrence. Scritches and cuddles are of course an all day, anytime occurrence.

JJ was an amazing pet sitter and took excellent care of our six cats. She made sure they were happy, well fed, the litter boxes were kept clean and Hank received his daily insulin injection. JJ kept us updated every day on how they were doing and sent wonderful pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We could tell our cats were comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely recommend JJ and will absolutely request her again in the future.

Schedule

I work 7:30-4:30, so visits in the middle of the weeldays are a no go. I can take visits before and after that window until about 9pm. I have the weekends and many holidays off, though, so there's flexibility. Like anyone, I have things that come up unexpectedly. For everything that can be predicted, I keep my calendar updated.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Jessalyn can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
Things I like to know, if applicable: 1. Level of obedience training 2. Energy level 3. Health concerns (conditions, vaccination status, etc...) 4. Socialization (is the dog friendly with other dogs or people?) 5. History of aggression 6. Toy/play preferences 7. Personality
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.
