Grad Student Seeking Hiking Partner
Pet care experience
I am a graduate student at the University of Utah, studying in the Parks, Recreation, and Tourism department. Alongside my graduate studies, I am a research assistant with a very time/space flexible schedule, and I work part-time (usually on the weekends) at REI. I'm often able to do my work for the U remotely, guaranteeing ample amounts of time spent with your pet. I prioritize getting outside (walking, hiking, running, etc.) for myself, and I would bring your pet along with me. I live in a little one bedroom apartment, just 10 minutes away from the SLC International airport. My apartment complex is full of other dogs of all shapes and sizes and has excellent accommodations for them all - including doggie bag/waste stations throughout the property. We are also very close to Liberty Park, one of my favorite places to go for a run. I grew up with a rambunctious black lab/golden retriever mix who loved to play in our backyard. I babysat for years with at least two very large dogs running around the house. In the past, I had a beautiful and loving husky who had lots and lots of energy and needed constant attention which gave me a lot of experience working with high energy dogs. He was best when he had a job, like sitting in his "place" or working on his heeling. I love to go hiking, and I enjoy it, even more, when I have a partner. My favorite thing about Rover is that I get to meet so many people and their dogs! I love seeing the relationships between dogs and their owners, and I love being able to be there for folks when they travel or have to be away.
Reviews
Jessie was wonderful with our two border collies! We were traveling through Europe for tens days, and Jessie house sat for our dogs for the second half of that time. She sent pictures daily and communicated with us often. We came home to an incredibly clean house (which is a shocker considering how much our dogs shed), and two very happy dogs. I would be happy to hire Jessie any time we are out of town in the future.
Jessie was wonderful. Super responsive and flexible. Plenty of pics and a happy, healthy puppy when we got back! Highly recommend.
We have used Jessie several times now! Most importantly our dog loves her, but we also appreciate how caring and kind she is. She has made arrangements super easy and simple and is very responsive and sends us photos while our dog is with her. My only reluctance to giving her such a great review is that others will book her up before I do!
As an over protective dog mom Jess was so great as a sitter for my dog. She took great care to ask good questions during the meet and greet! She sent grest photos and my dog seemed to have the best time. She was also flexible last minute with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely book her in the future.

A typical day
We will go on hikes (if the dog is up to it) around the Salt Lake City area. I really enjoy running on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail and Liberty Park, so those might be a commonplace for our outings. I'm happy to take your dog to a dog park, as long as they have had positive experiences in those environments in the past.
