Safety, trust & environment

I reside in a "feline owned" house without a yard. Lol! I offer drop-ins, overnight stays, walks, playtime, feedings and a ton of love. Can't get any better than that, right?

Information Jessica S. would like to know about your pet

Allergies, behaviors unbecoming yet tolerable with some coaching, and habits that are "normal" for your furrbaby. What makes your furrbaby(s) happiest! Tell me more please.

A typical day

I have a few dog parks in the area that I like to take kiddos to play. If you have special places you go together, I would love to explore. Winter is upon us so it might limit some activities.

Pets

Love comes in all shapes & sizes

Pet care experience

Life just wouldn’t be complete without canines and felines! Love truly comes in all shapes and sizes, and my relationships with my furry friends run deep. My Bluetick Coonhound (Sir Rudy Roswell), Great Pyrenees (LuLu), and Saint Bernard (Evie) were all rescues who lived full, engaging lives — and I was lucky to have them as my travel companions during long work assignments. I am the "GO-TO" person in my friends' and neighbors' lives to care for their babies these days. After years of corporate life and extensive travel, I decided to focus on what makes me happiest: caring for animals and sharing that love with others. Also, enrolled in the CSU Extension Program to obtain my Master Gardener. At 51, I’m a proud “corporate dropout” with no kids, but plenty of room in my heart for dogs and cats of all kinds. I’m a bit of a picture fanatic — so while your baby is in my care, you’ll enjoy daily photos and updates of cuddle time, playtime, and mealtime. Nutrition and exercise are very important to me, and I’ll treat your pet’s well-being with the same care and attention I give my own. My background in pre-hospital care taught me the importance of calm, compassionate caregiving. Looking after others—especially animals—comes naturally to me.

I wish there were more stars to give. Jess is the best!!!! My 2 dogs were so happy with her. She kept us posted daily with cute and funny pics and stories.vi could just tell how much she loved them and they her!!!! She had to deal with a lot at my house....a million houseplants to water, a greenhouse to water, the lawn to water, Cosmo had an eye infection and needed drops 3x daily, Pickles had an allergic skin reaction and needed medicine 2x daily for that. She did it all!!!! My house, lawn, plants and dogs all looked good when we came home. I would highly recommend her and we hope to use her again in the future!!!!!

Couldn’t be happier with Jess! She looked after our fur baby and home with such care - as if they were her own. Communication was seamless and clear. We got regular updates throughout our time away. She went above & beyond in taking care of our home and leaving it cleaner than when we left. Highly recommend Jess and look forward to having her again.

Jessica was so great with our guy Jack! She made sure to send lots of pictures and keep us updated on how he was doing. Would definitely rebook in the future.

At the initial meet and greet, everything seemed great, so, I booked the services with Jessica. I have cameras both in the house and a doorbell cam that records everything 24/7 and alerts us as people come and go. My contract was for 2, 30-minute visits a day for feeding my dogs and to give them a little attention because they are not used to my wife and I being gone for long periods of time. When I received the 1st notification of the arrival of our sitter through Rover on 1/21, she didn’t actually arrive at the house until 15 minutes later, and then she only spent about 15 minutes with the dogs and left (all visible via the door cam). This behavior from our sitter continued throughout our entire trip. The longest time she stayed was 21 minutes. In addition, on every visit she “started” the Rover timer at least 10 minutes before she actually arrived at the house. The most aggravating problem occurred on Saturday, 1/24. She arrived at 8:14 am and stayed for 16 minutes. She then returned at 2:26pm that afternoon and stayed until 2:33pm. I signed a contract with Jessica stating that she would be visiting the dogs between 8am and 9am and then between 5pm and 6pm. So why did she come to the house so early that afternoon and only stay for 7 minutes? She was barely at the house long enough to feed the dogs. She did not return until 9:24 the next morning, which meant the dogs were left alone almost 19 hours. That is not what I signed up for! Out of 240 minutes that I paid for, she was at our house approximately 160 minutes. I will never use Jessica nor Rover again for pet sitting our dogs.

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.
