Pet care experience

Professional pet care family.

Hi, my name is Jesse and I offer In-home boarding, dog walking/pet visits and a pet taxi service. I can administer any medications and/or injections. I self employed and make my living as a professional pet trainer, groomer and have managed large pet care facilities in the Chicagoland area for 20 yrs. I have been responsible for the care and health of at least 300,000 pets in my time in the industry, so I am very well experienced with most medical issues and I specialize in senior and special needs dogs. I only take care of friendly, social dogs that are neutered(depending on age) and love the company of other friendly pets that might not do well in a boarding facility. I am self employed as a professional pet trainer and pet care provider. someone is home most the time which allows the pets to get the exercise they need in order to socialize well during play, rest or naps. I care for all pets according to whatever their needs are. There is no one way of caring for peoples pets and each pets needs its own individual attention tailored to their needs. Behavior is important as well.

Jesse is utterly fantastic! He was incredibly patient and gentle with our dog. His experience and knowledge in caring for dogs is strongly apparent, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing sitter.

Jesse, I cant thank you enough for help. This is now our 2nd time requesting Jesse to sit for our dog and he is awesome. Very easy to work with and he truly cares about the well being of your dog. He’s helped our rott overcome the social anxiety of large dogs being around him. Jesse always kept in contact and sent plenty of videos of Thor making friends with other dogs his own size. At home he’s used to small dogs. We know if our dog is with Jesse he’s in good hands.

My dog, Theo, stayed with Jesse for two nights and he came back looking happy and well taken care of. I appreciated Jesse taking the time to schedule a meet and greet so Theo could get acquainted with the space. You can tell Jesse has a lot of experience caring for dogs and I appreciated his insight as to best drop off times to get Theo settled and comfortable in Jesse's home before wind-down time at night. Jesse kept me updated and there was great communication before and during Theo's stay. I would recommend him and hope to work with him again in the future! :)

My two dogs had a great stay with Jesse. He's a calming presence for two dogs with anxiety. His set up worked well for them, with his big backyard. We'll be booking again. Mary

Jesse provided a very home-like setting for Lola while we were away!

Jesse is a great sitter! He looked after our rott Thor for 10 days while we were gone. From meeting Jesse to drop off and pick up he was a professional. He sent me pics of our pup every other day to show us what he was up too. He made me feel comfortable and I could see right away that our pet was in good hands. Thanks Jesse and we will definitely contact you again!

It is important to know if your pet has any medical issues or needs special kind of attention/care during their stay. This would allow me to better serve your pets needs.
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.
