Pet care experience

Local educator, longtime pet lover!

Hi there! I am a school counselor working and living in South Philly. I live in East Passyunk around Bok Bar. I will care for your pet as my own! During the school year, I typically am gone from 7am-3pm. During the summer, I am home full time! I have experienced with all types of breeds. I have extensive experience with Belgian Malinois/Dutch Shepherds. I am comfortable with higher energy working breeds. I will honor any rules you have at home (no couch, crate, no bed, etc).

Jessica was so great with my cat Roxy!! She was an excellent communicator, was on time, very flexible and reliable. She followed my directions for giving Roxy everything she needed. Would definitely book Jessica again, she was awesome!

Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats while we were away. I appreciated her prompt and delightful communication and accommodating the quirks that come with senior kitties. Came home to two happy and loved cats- will absolutely book again.

Jessica did a great job with my shy dog, Lola. She helped her warm up and feel comfortable and Lola didn’t want to go home by the end.

Schedule

Your pet will enjoy a walk in the morning between 6-7am followed by breakfast right before leaving for work. I am usually home by 2:45 but only work an 10 minute walk away so can pop back on my lunch break. If the dog park is part of your pup’s routine, Columbus square is a 15 minute walk plus a new park by Target! Bedtime walks typically happen around 8:30-9pm.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat your pet like my own. Dogs are living creatures with emotions and needs just like humans. Dogs are amazing companions, and I take very good care of my pets!

Pets

A typical day

Your pets can enjoy long walks with me around South Philly and on adventures (if okayed by you!) I enjoye taking my pup, Sacha, to Timber Creek Dog Park, West Mill Park, FDR, and Columbus Dog Park. Walks along the SRT are also in the rotation. If you prefer to keep it closer to home to where your dog is more comfortable, I would be happy to do so.

I do not have any breed preferences. What level of exercise/activity is your pet used to? Do they get along with other dogs? Are there any scenarios that should be avoided? Does your pup know any tricks we can work on? Are there any routines they are used to (meal procedures/times, specific times for walks, etc)? Any sneaky behaviors or things that should be out of reach?
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.
