I'm currently working part-time as a physical therapist aid and I'm in school part-time for business. With most of my current life based around work and school, I wanted something fun and new to do so I decided to use Rover. With my love for animals, I decided this would be the perfect opportunity.

A typical day

I thoroughly enjoy playing with both cats and dogs. When I take a dog for a walk, we might mix in some short jogs to shake off that extra energy. Additionally, I have a knack for finding creative ways to capture cats' interest in their toys, providing mental stimulation along with physical play. It's all about ensuring that the pets I watch have an enjoyable experience.

Pet care experience

I really love hanging out with animals! I grew up helping out on a small farm in Wisconsin, and you won't catch me without some furry friend nearby when I'm there. I'm always lending a hand with friends' and family's pets whenever I can. In the future, I look forward to having my own pet. In the meantime, I'm using this platform to immerse myself in all things animal-related to understand the full scope of caring for an in-home pet.

Jessica is caring, loving and attentive to our two cats. One of them has separation anxiety and Jessica helped him stay happy and healthy while I was out of town. 100% recommended!

Jessica is absolutely the best! She showered our cat with so much love and attention while we were away for a few days. She sent pictures from each visit and the last 2 days she had him on her lap. I’m so jealous! 😁 We highly recommend Jessica!!!
