Certified Veterinary Technician
Pet care experience
I grew up caring for and loving dogs deeply. This is what inspired me to become a certified veterinary technician, which has taught me how to be an even more skilled and proficient caregiver for pets. My partner and I also have an extreme love of spending time outdoors (on the beach, hiking, etc.), so if your pet likes these activities, we would be a great fit!
Reviews
From the moment Chester and I met Jessen, we knew that it would work. Jessen showed a genuine love toward Chester. She shared insightful recommendations regarding veterinary care and took good care of the home. Chester has found a friend and I have found someone I can wholeheartedly trust.
Jessen was great!. She housesat for our dog and cat this past weekend and offered to stay longer if we were delayed. Our dog enjoyed some long walks and our difficult cat did not appear at all stressed out due to her kindness. I would definitely use her again!
I would definitely book with Jessen again!! She left the house in great shape and took such great care of my dogs. She is very responsible and respectful and a true animal lover! My dogs were very happy with Jessen when she stayed with them for a few days. Thanks Jessen!
Jessen is exactly the person any loving pet owner hopes to find on Rover. There is no one I trust more to look after for my Goldens when I am away. Jessen has been caring for my pups for more than two years. When I walk out my door, I have complete peace of mind knowing that my dogs are under the watchful eye of someone who loves animals and knows how to care for them. My dogs are always happy to see Jessen and sad when they leave. You can't ask for a better testimonial than that. You will not find a more loving, conscientious, and knowledgeable caregiver for your pet.

Safety, trust & environment
My yard is 95% fenced in, so playtime in the backyard is quite safe. I do not leave animals unattended outside. I will keep your dog on a leash in the yard if there is a risk of him/her running off. I live 0.2 miles from the beach on Nantucket sound, and have the ability to take your dog on leashed walks there if they enjoy activities like that! I am willing to let your pet roam free in the house if they are well-behaved and it is safe to do so, but can easily set up a crate if preferred or necessary.
Home
Information Jessen S. would like to know about your pet
I am willing to take dogs that do not get along with other dogs if my dog Willow is not currently with me (she spends part of her time with my parents because we share her!). I would need to know of this or any other behavioral issues ahead of time. The beach I frequent often has a handful of dogs present, so it is helpful to know if your dog is reactive to other dogs. I am very willing to take dogs with medical needs as well, as I am a veterinary professional, but prefer to know this ahead of time.
A typical day
I live 0.2 miles from a town beach located on Nantucket Sound, so I spend lots of time at the beach! We also enjoy hiking in the many beautiful dog friendly areas around the Cape, so day trips are always on our list of things to do!

Availability
I currently work a full time job, and my days off are Sunday and Monday. On workdays, I am usually gone from 8:30 to 3:30 or 4:00, but I am happy to house dogs in my home while I am gone if they are able to be left unattended for that amount of time. I spend a lot of time after work outside and walking, so pets will still get their exercise. On my days off, I can dedicate a lot of time to pet care. That being said, I am generally available for pet sitting any day/night of the week, and dog walking after work or on my weekends.
