Reliable Full Time Rover 🙋🏻‍♀️🐾

Pet care experience

🙋🏻‍♀️ Thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Jessica and I am currently doing Rover full time and loving it. I’m a Tampa native, live with my partner and elderly Pomeranian, and have no kids. While I’m housesitting, my partner cares for my Pom, so your pet will have my full time and attention. I love cats and dogs so very much and will treat your pet as if they were my own. Here is some information about the services that I offer: ⚫️ For all bookings: I offer a complimentary 30 minute Meet & Greet so we can all get acquainted and go over expectations, temperaments, routines, feeding schedules, walk routes, etc. I strive to match your pet’s normal routine and schedule as closely as possible. ⚫️ Housesitting: 🏠 Standard Housesitting: My listed rates are for standard housesitting assignments where I would be staying overnight and not leaving the premises for more than a few hours at a time whether to run errands or do other drop-ins and dog walks. I will bring my food and supplies and your house will be my base of operations. I will water plants, bring in mail and packages, and make sure your house always looks occupied. 🏡 24/7 Constant Care Housesitting: I do offer 24/7 housesitting also known as Constant Care. This is for pet parents who want me to stay over 24/7 and never leave until the assignment is over. Whether you have a pet with severe separation anxiety, health issues, or just want the peace of mind of knowing your pet will never be alone, this is an option that I offer and enjoy doing. The nightly rate is $150 as I would not be taking on any other jobs or assignments during my time with your pet. I would bring all my food and supplies with me and have groceries delivered if it’s an extended stay. This amount would cover up to 2 pets. ⚫️ Drop Ins: These will never be less than 30 minutes long and will often go over as I don’t like to rush pets while they’re eating or going potty. You can also extend the visit to 60 minutes or longer as needed. ⚫️ Dog Walks: These will never be less than 30 minutes long and will often go over as I don’t like to rush pets along. If they want to stop and smell the roses, I let them. This walk is for them and I want them to get as much enjoyment out of their walk as possible. If you do have a set mileage or speed requisite, just let me know during our Meet & Greet and I will make sure we hit that goal each walk. You can also extend these to 60 minutes or longer as needed. Please note that the Rover app map/walk tracker isn’t the best, so if you want a detailed map of our walk, let me know and I’ll make sure you get a screenshot of our walk using MapMyWalk.

Jessica seriously is the best. I’ve had to go out of town on short notice and Jessica was available to check on the lil guys both times this happened. She also brought over some treats for our lil kitties. The fact one of our guys does not hide when Jessica is there is a testament to how great she is. Thank you again!

This was our very first time leaving our almost 11 year old pup with a sitter. Needless to say we were very nervous! Jessica calmed our fears right away. During the meet & greet she asked lots of questions to get to know Kobe and his routines. She showed up on time, checked in with us frequently, and sent us photos. Our Kobe had a lot of fun with Jessica and we are so thankful we found her!

Jessica is always so great! We got caught in a travel bind and needed an emergency visit during the storm, and Jessica checked in on our lil guys the same day to make sure they were good.

Information Jessica R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs or behaviors I should know about. Does your dog answer to its name? Any nicknames or trigger words I should know about? Favorite toys? Treat/reward routine? The more details the better!

A typical day

I’d love to take your dog on short, medium, or long walks depending on your request. If there’s a particular dog park they like, just let me know and we’ll head there. I’d love to get to know your pet and learn its quirks and idiosyncrasies.

———————————————————— When I am with your pet, they will have my undivided attention. I will treat them as my own and will make sure they are safe from beginning to end. If your dog has separation anxiety, I am a good fit, because I will bring puzzles and books and plop down right next to them. If your pet is more active, that works too, because my passion is long-distance hiking, so there’s no dog walk too long for me. I’m comfortable with caring for a variety of pets. I am available morning, night, and overnight and welcome last-second bookings. I’m here to make your life easier! I will treat your house as if it were my own and will leave it as clean or cleaner than when I arrived. I will bring in your mail and packages and take out your trash and recycling. I can care for any plants or fish as well. I live right by the Tampa International Airport, so I am centrally located and willing to travel to take care of your fur babies. I have a Kia Soul if any pet transportation is needed as well. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out and ask.
