I'm home full-time when your dog(s) is/are in my care during the week. On weekends, I utilize the help of my husband. Depending on weather and your dog(s) needs, I spend a majority of my time outdoors playing and watching over them in our fenced in backyard. For dogs who just love to relax indoors, my home is their home away from home!

Information Jessica K. would like to know about your pet

If your dog(s) happen to have any medical conditions (including taking medications) please let me know. I won't turn them away, they need attention too.

A typical day

Besides chasing wild rabbits and squirrels out of our fenced in yard, your dog will have plenty of play. Some dogs love fetch and others just want to cuddle and be fed treats like a Greek Goddess. No matter your dogs breed, they'll be well loved, fed, and looked after.

Pet care experience

Hi all! After some time off in the fall and winter of 2025, I'm back! For those new to Rover, welcome! I bet this is all a bit intimidating, but I'm glad you found my page because there's nothing to fear! My family and I moved to Smithfield in late 2023 due to the military. With 2 rescue whippets (smaller greyhounds) that love playmates, your pup(s) will be sure to have fun!

Skipper was very happy to see Jessica and had a good time. We never worry about him when Jessica takes care of him.

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.
