Pet care experience
DOG, CAT, AND SMALL ANIMAL (HAMSTERS, GERBILS, RABBITS, etc.) CARE! Check out my family's pets on Instagram: @jigthepoods I love animals because of how they are always carefree, wide-eyed, and happy — attributes I think we humans need to embody more in our lives. Dogs (and pets in general) do so much for humans — cheering us up when we're down, encouraging us to exercise, helping us make new friends — and I would like to return the favor by helping provide them with quality care!
Reviews
Jessica was a great walker for Rio! She was prompt and responsible, keeping him safe and happy on their walks together. Whenever Rio saw her coming, he was VERY happy - wagging, vocalizing, and running around the living room until she could get in the door! She clearly was his favorite, and we completely concur!! We will definitely use Jessica again, if our schedules align!
Jessica is one of a kind! Her empathy and compassion for animals small and large is like none other. Because she understands furry friends so well, animals naturally gravitate toward her and trust her. She handles pets with a warm and calm attitude that will leave your pet wanting more time with her! You will not be disappointed with Jessica taking care of your beloved pet!
If you are looking for an animal lover to care for your fur baby, look no further. Jessica truly cares for all animals and will put in her best to make sure they are happy. Jessica has experience taking care of and getting along with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamster, and gerbils. She is timely, communicative, professional, and friendly. She takes great pet photos! I would let her take care of my cat anytime!
Having known Jessica for 16 years, I've seen her care for animals since a very young age. She has now been a dog owner for a few years and has continued to exemplify what a loving, responsible, and attentive pet owner should be like! Jessica finds a lot of joy in caring for dogs, so much so that she dogsits while other families go on vacation and treats them as her own. Overall, I can testify that she is very competent and would be a exemplary worker for Rover!

Safety, trust & environment
I am in the healthcare field -- if you can trust me with grandma, I hope that you can trust me with your pet. I will not bring other animals or people on walks/drop ins unless you specifically approve it. On hot days, I will specifically look out for sidewalks that are too hot and signs of dehydration in your dog.
Information Jessica J. would like to know about your pet
What snacks I can feed them? What do they like to do for fun? How likely are they to pull on their leash? Do they like other dogs? Will you provide doggie bags and treats?
A typical day
I'm looking for exercise myself so I'm willing to walk far distances with your dog. If you let me know ahead of time, I can bring running shoes and we can run together. I'm also willing to take well-behaved dogs (who I have met before) on excursions (park, beach, hike) with me and my husband via our personal car.

My current availability varies with my school schedule, but I will make time to hang out with your furry friend!
