Housesits for Fenced yards & Cats!
Hi! Thanks for fully reading my profile. Your pet(s) will most likely be the only ones I am caring for during the housesit booked. I am primarily booking dogs with a fenced yard, or who do not pull (at all) on walks due to injury, and cat households! **Please send requests for overnight housesits between 3-15 days in length. I have a pet care background as a kennel manager, sat for neighbors as a kid and housemates while away, small critter care tech at Petco, helped on a horse farm for a few months, and of my own pets - dogs (Pit Bull Terrier, Beagle, Lab mix), bearded dragon, and Ball Python during my adult years. I grew up caring for our cat and had several dogs of my own starting as a young adult. I also am Reiki Level II attuned.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
It's very helpful to fill out your pets' Rover profile with their behavior details and a summary of their typical day with times and sleeping habits. Describing behaviors (ex: barking at outdoor noises/people walking by often, sleeps on your pillow or scratches at night, plays rough with your other dog, pulls or barks towards other dogs on the street) are helpful to get an idea how your pet will be to sit with. This can help find the right sitter and increase rebookings. I enjoy getting to know each pets' unique personality, and giving them attention as they feel comfortable. I can administer medication by mouth or topical application - included in housesitting price if placed or mixed in food, or given by hand in pill pocket, chewable, etc. Please let me know if your pet tries to bite or squirm around when getting their medication. This requires more time and risk with some pets. Dogs are always leashed outdoors unless they have a fenced yard and no tendency to escape. Please let me know if they sometimes eat or roll in things they shouldn't, what those things are, and where they would encounter them/how the behavior is managed or prevented.
Ratings and reviews
Jessica did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Rosie, while we were away! She sent great updates with lots of photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cared about Rosie. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and would absolutely book Jessica again.
Jessica was great! Excellent communication and she took great care of my girl Lyla. Would book her again!
Jessica was great with my golden retriever. He got plenty of exercise and love. He was so happy to have someone spending the night with him.
Jessica stayed in my home for a few days to care for my dog Mocha and she was great! She made sure to send me daily updates and pictures and left my home in perfect condition.
Jessica was absolutely amazing pet sitting for us! She was super communicative, kind, and thoughtful and took great care of our Chihuahua and cats. I would highly recommend Jessica!
Highly recommend Jessica as your next house sitter! She gave us an update every day, was incredible with the dogs, and let us know of goings on around the house. It was our first time using Rover, and she made the experience so stress-free that I think we might take more vacations. I cannot thank her enough!

Schedule
Hi, My rates shown are for pets who can be alone 4-5 hours during the day. If the sit requires less time between potty breaks, please let me know how many hours they are comfortable on their own, to make sure I can accomodate on the dates/times of your request. For less than 4 hours between potty breaks, the rate will be adjusted +40/day. Thank you for reading my profile! With housesitting, I stay overnight and will be there during the day at least 8 out of 12 hours between 7am-7pm. Let me know your pets' needs for meal and medication timing! **If dogs do not require the use of an e-collar or prong collar, and do not pull on the leash while walking I am more likely to accept the request. Please note how your dog is on walks if they will be needed during the housesit. For cats I keep them indoors 100% of the time during the booking for safety. I miss having a pet of my own after mine passed at 13 and 15 a few years ago so thought this would be good for me after a work accident that does not allow me to do full-time work otherwise at the moment.
