Information Jessica D. would like to know about your pet
Tell me more about your animals and I'd love to help out! From keeping up with training, providing enrichment, medications, and more! I will do my best to accommodate requests. I have taken several courses on dog training and have a decent knowledge base on behaviour. I feel confident with dogs of all sizes and breeds, including high-energy breeds. I absolutely adore cats and would love nothing more than to spend some time with your feline friends. I truly believe your body language and voice is the most powerful tool when interacting with animals! I'm comfortable using various tools such as gentle leaders, slip leads, martingales, and more, if your dog may need it. I also have experience with providing oral, topical, and injectable medications.
A typical day
To ensure a smooth booking and to maintain the well-being of your pet(s) in your absence, I have established the following recommended minimum care requirements: Cats: I recommend at least one 30-minute visit per day for households with cats. Households with four or more cats may require 60-minute visits to ensure all receive appropriate care and attention. Every other day may be an option in specific circumstances. Dogs: If you'll be gone for two nights, I recommend a minimum of four hours of care spread throughout the day for all dogs, regardless of size, breed, temperament, and/or age. There are many options in which this may be scheduled, for example, 8-9:30 AM, 2-3 PM, and 7:30-9:00 PM. I may require/recommend longer visits when necessary to meet the needs of individual dogs based on their age, energy, temperament, and medical history. I do not sleep overnight at homes or provide house sitting services. If you will be absent for three or more nights, I recommend boarding or house sitting services for your dog(s). Other pets: Animals such as rabbits, rodents, guinea pigs, and birds may require 60-minute visits to accommodate for bedding changes and interaction time. For pets such as fish and reptiles who may only require feeding and watering, 15-minute visits at a discounted rate can be discussed! **How do I put my non-cat/dog pet on Rover?** You can input your non-cat/dog pet as a "dog" when you create their Rover profile. Within the breed field, type in "other pet". Feel free to input the species and your specific care instructions in the "about your pet" section.

Pet care experience
Cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles, and other creatures, you name it - I love them! Animals have been a passion of mine ever since I was a small, tiny little human. Rain, shine, or snow... I'm committed to providing phenomenal care for your pets! All tails (including the tailless) are welcome! In my downtime, I enjoy doing dog sports with my dog, Daisy. I also enjoy cuddling up with my cat, Pebbles, who is a master at causing chaos! I enjoy reading and studying animal behaviour, as well as attending professional development sessions where I can learn more about dog training! Daisy is currently a trick dog champion, and we have been slowly gaining our titles in UKC nosework!
Reviews
Jessica was fantastic with Charlie! She took such great care of him and I would absolutely have her watch him again!
Jessica is professional, kind, and knowledgeable. She did drop ins for our dog, who was recovering from an injury. She gave excellent care, was very communicative, and made sure to give our cat some love too 🙂 I absolutely recommend Jessica!
Jessica did an outstanding job looking after our cat while we were away! We got many great photos and updates about how he was doing. We will be booking with her again for future trips when possible.
Thank you so much Jessica, Juno was thrilled to have you walk her will be excited to see you next time!
