Availability

I have a flexible schedule and spend much of my time at home studying, which allows me to provide consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening routines, and I keep my schedule light when I’m caring for a pet to make sure they feel comfortable and well looked after.

Reliable Medical Student, Pet Lover

Pet care experience

Hi! I’ve fostered both dogs and cats throughout all four years of college, including caring for sick pets and administering medications when needed. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—so much so that my family genuinely thought I would grow up to be a veterinarian. I’m currently a medical student and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and truly love providing a safe, calm, and affectionate environment for them. My partner Matthew is occasionally around and helps lend an extra hand, but I am always the primary caregiver responsible for your pet’s care.

Jessica was absolutely fantastic! This was my first time leaving Gumbo with a sitter from Rover and I will definitely be rebooking with her. She provided solid updates, sent great photos and overall I felt so comfortable and at ease knowing she was giving Gumbo the best care.

Jessica was very attentive and responsive when it came to watching our dog. Her extensive history was something that lured us in, and she never disappointed. She sent us daily pictures of our Zen while we were missing him on vacation. We will definitely be using Jessica again as our Rover!

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.
