Safety, trust & environment

When I am caring for a clients pet I like to know their schedule so I can follow it diligently. This allows your pet to feel more at ease while you’re away as I will replicate your schedule to keep their structure and keep them happy.

Information Jessenia V. would like to know about your pet

I like to know dogs activity prefences. I also like to know if I can give them treats to find the best activity suited for them and to make them trusting and comfortable with me. As well as, if there is any training you need me to continue working on while you’re away. Any special instructions for their care and medications needs. I like to cover all bases. I have no breed prefences as I love all animals.

A typical day

We most likely will head to the park or on a nature walk so your pup can enjoy fresh air and sunshine and be able to relieve themselves(unless other specified by the owner) If you have a backyard I can provide playtime to tire out your pup with toys. And for high energy dogs/ puppies I offer going on high activity hike/walks. For puppies I can provide basic and advanced training as well as leash manners.

Pet care experience

Hello :) My name is Jay! I am an avid animal lover. I’ve studied dog behavior, training, and light grooming. You can trust that when you book with me you’re not only getting a walker/sitter. You’re getting a pet care professional who can provide your animals with the most enrichment to keep their mind and body actively engaged. I have a commitment to be there when you need me! I've always been an avid animal lover, even as a young child. I've shown this by volunteering at a horse therapy center and wildlife clinic. I have also worked for a doggie daycare. In addition I have a dog and a cat whom I love dearly they're like my little furry kids. I often take them on hikes and vacations with me so they can see the world. I've dedicated myself to learning what is best for the animals I care for. I am comfortable caring for any animal. I am the go to person for my own friends and family when it comes to caring for their pets while they're away because they know I am meticulous when it comes to pet care. I will treat your pets as part of my own family :). I also offer scheduled facetime and pictures for your comfort and convenience. Thank you for reading and I hope you will consider me when it comes to caring for your beloved pets ❤️

We had a wonderful experience! She was reliable, communicative, and took amazing care of Milton for an entire week. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands, and Milton clearly had a great time with her. We would absolutely recommend her!

Jessenia has been so good to our dog Max! He can be nervous with strangers but she has been so kind and patient with him and it has really made me feel at ease while on vacation. She is beyond lovely to communicate with and super responsive. The pictures and little summaries of the walks have been great to see too. I would recommend her to everyone! Thank you Jessenia!

Jessenia did a great job and was great about updating us when she was checking in our dog. It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience. Thank you Jessenia for making us feel so comfortable!

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.
