Pet care experience

Responsible | Loving | Experienced

24-hour, around-the-clock care. My personable in-house services are perfect for pets with special needs or separation anxiety, seniors or puppies, or anyone nervous about leaving their fur babies. I have over 20 years of experience with dogs, cats, birds, and critters of all sizes. Pets are part of the family, and there will be no question from you that they have received exceptional care while you are away. I realize my prices are higher than the average, but I can guarantee it comes with your peace of mind. ✓ Have had regular pet-sitting families for 10+ years. After moving from Iowa, I have decided to start rebuilding my pet family in Southern, IL. ✓ Responsible and trustworthy ✓ Experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments ✓ Comfortable administering medicine and IVs ✓ Can provide your pets with around-the-clock care ✓ Will keep your pet as close to their normal routine as possible. After pet sitting as my job through college, I decided I loved it so much that I never quit. Now, more than a decade later, I still have that same joy in giving families the peace of mind that their furry family members, and homes, are well cared for while they are gone.

Jessica was great to work with! She responded quickly to my request and promptly set up a meet and greet. She asked so many questions and wanted to understand my dogs, their schedule, and what I needed. She was kind to both me and my dogs upon meeting. During her stay with my dogs, she was very communicative! She let me know when she arrived and left, along with multiple updates on how my dogs were doing. I appreciated how she tried to keep their routine as similar to normal as possible. I know it helped them and me as well. I loved getting all the daily updates and pictures from her! She was really a great house sitter for my dogs and I would recommend her!

Jess was wonderful with our dogs! We have a dog with special needs and felt very comfortable leaving him with her while we were out of town. She stayed in touch and sent pictures every day. Will definitely book again!

Jessica was the most attentive and professional sitter. She followed all instructions with feeding and medication exactly how it needed to be done. One of the most important things I noticed is that when I returned home from my trip, my dogs and rabbits were all calm and not stressed in any way. That showed me that she cared for them as if they were her own. This was her first stay and the communication was exceptional. We will definitely book with Jessica again in the future. We would highly recommend her for anyone who wants the best care for their pets.

Jessica is professional, sweet, and absolutely loves animals! I enlisted her to house/pup sit for almost a week and she was PHENOMENAL!!! She is trustworthy, takes notes, and will call with any questions. It is the first time I’ve ever felt so safe with being away from my pups. We now consider her part of our family!!

Jessica was amazing! She stayed in our house and dog sat and kitty sat for 5 days and 4 nights. My dogs loved her and I didn't worry about them at all. She is very trustworthy and left the house neat and clean. I will definitely be asking her to come back!

Jessica was amazing with our girls! We had a sudden death in the family, and we’re really stressed with everything going on. The usual folks we use were not available on such short notice, but thankfully Jessica was utter perfection. Great communication, very attentive and caring for our girls, she was so kind and sensitive to what we were going through. And when our flight was delayed coming back, she was able to cover the extra few hours we needed as well. 100% we will book with her again!!!

Schedule

I work remotely and can stay with your pets around the clock. This is especially great for homes with Senior, Disabled, Separation Anxiety, or other Special Needs pets and helps keep them on their regular routines and schedules.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Jessica can host up to 1 pet per night
I will require access to WiFi since I do work remotely. For homes further than 15 miles, I will increase the total cost to cover the travel to the meet and greet and stay.
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.
