Pet care experience

Your Girl-Next-Door Dog Sitter

I've had dogs for most of my life. In this time, I've owned a Great Dane mix, a German Shepard/Border Collie mix, and three lovely Cockapoos. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. My smallest client to date has been a 4-pound chihuahua; my largest has been a 125-pound Great Dane. My experience also includes pet-sitting and caring for cats, horses, birds, rabbits, and on one occasion, a tortoise! I have a few years of experience with senior dogs of all sizes, from a Boston Terrier to a Great Dane/Labrador mix. I also have some experience working with dogs with disabilities, including partially paralyzed dogs, blind dogs, and dogs with dementia. I'm always willing to learn more if your pet needs specific care. Whatever your pet may be and whatever they may need, I'm more than happy to provide it.

Safety, trust & environment

If you need someone to dog- or cat-sit at your home, I'll gladly work with you to establish a schedule and review any concerns before you leave. I also always require at least one meeting with yourself and your furry family member so that we can properly meet and confirm it's a good fit for everyone. I strongly prefer sitting and checking in on pets in their own home. This way, you can decide what environment they're in, and you have more control of that environment. I find it's much more comfortable for everyone involved. If you have a pet camera and intend to monitor it, please let me know in advance. I'm more than understanding of wanting to keep an eye on your pet and your home; I also want to be aware if I'm being filmed.

Thank you Jessica for going above and beyond to housesit last minute for my senior cat when I was stuck out of town due to flight cancellations. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Nigel and Moxie! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in Jessica’s caring and capable hands. She gave both dogs so much love, attention, and playtime, and it was clear from the updates and photos that Nigel and Moxie were happy and relaxed the entire time. What really stood out was the extra care Jessica took with our home. Everything was spotless when we returned, and it was obvious our space had been treated with respect and care. We’re so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with our pups. We would absolutely book Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets and home!

Schedule

I have a full-time job, but I work from home. I have free time throughout most of the day Monday through Friday, and I'm typically available every weekend. I take on a maximum of three (3) bookings per day to provide your furry family member(s) with the attention and dedication they deserve. I never have two pet clients together at the same time for safety's sake.

Does your pet any special needs I should be aware or? Any medication? Any history of trauma, abuse, or neglect prior to your caring for them that might influence how they feel around strangers? Has your pet been ill or injured within the last few weeks? If so, can you describe the illness or injury so I can keep an eye out for any concerning signs? Do they have any history of attacking? If so, can you please provide more details around what happened? If we're walking, how does your pet handle other dogs and humans? Do they need space, or are they friendly?
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.
