About Jessica G.
Safety, trust & environment
My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for and stress free while you’re away! I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether that means giving lots of playtime and exercise or a calm, gentle presence for more relaxed or shy pets. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy during visits. whether I’m in your home or stopping by for a visit. I always try to stick as closely as possible to your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. whether I’m in your home or stopping by for a visit.
Information Jessica G. would like to know about your pet
Any medical needs, allergies, medications, or special care instructions are very important as well. If your pet has any triggers; like fear of loud noises, leash reactivity, or sensitivity around food or toysz I always appreciate knowing ahead of time so I can handle things appropriately. For cats, it’s helpful to know their personality too, whether they’re social, shy, or prefer space, so I can interact with them in a way they’re comfortable with. Overall, the more I know about your pet, the better I can make sure they feel relaxed, understood, and well cared for during our time together!
A typical day
I love making sure pets stay active, engaged, and happy during our time together! For dogs, that usually means fun, enriching walks where they can explore, sniff around, and get plenty of fresh air. Depending on their energy level, we can keep it relaxed or make it more active with longer walks, run or a little extra playtime. I enjoy playing games like fetch or tug of war and give lots of attention and belly rubs! For cats, I make sure they get attention in a way that matches their personality. I can play with toys like wand teasers or lasers, keep them engaged with interactive play, or just spend quiet time giving pets and companionship if they’re more relaxed. I’ll also make sure their food and water are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and they feel comfortable and cared for. For drop-in visits, I make sure they get a good mix of play, attention, and companionship so they don’t feel bored or lonely while you’re away!

Pet care experience
Growing up, my home was always full of animals so I learned early on how to be attentive to different needs, behaviors, and personalities. My grandma played a big role in shaping my love for animals. She used to care for the neighborhood cats and regularly fed the birds which I always loved helping her. That experience taught me compassion and the importance of looking out for animals, even those without homes. Over the years, I’ve also helped foster pets and took in my first injured cat, which gave me hands-on experience being patient, gentle, and attentive to animals that need extra care and comfort. While I’m newer to Rover professionally, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of!
