Young Professional Pet Lover!!

Hey fellow animal lovers! My name is Jess and I am a 29-year old woman who recently returned home after traveling abroad and am dealing with the passing of my father. My own kitten Axel has been an invaluable support during this transition period and I know how important pets are to their families. I have a lot of free time right now and I’d love getting the chance via Rover to spend time with your dogs and cats that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to get! In the past, I’ve had very close bonds with my relatives pets, often sitting them for them when needed. I have also done some foster work with dogs and cats at my local shelter when I was going to university so I’m used to taking care of a variety of different and new pets and attuning myself to the needs and wants of each one, including any medical issues or behavioural quirks. I have fostered extra large dogs, been the walker for more than a few puppies in my time, lived with a geriatric cat for the last years of her life, and now take care of my boisterous and cuddly kitten. I am a very active outdoorsy person who loves to go on long walks or hang in the park so I would love to have a furry friend join me on these adventures! I also love a good indoor cuddle session or playtime at home for whatever dog or cat who needs it. I live in Ajax right by Pickering Village/close to the highway and own a car so I can get most anywhere in Durham for your sitting/walking needs. I’m currently unemployed so I am available any day or time for requests! I hope I get the chance to know all of you and your animals soon!!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At my own home, I check/clean Axel’s litter box twice a day, feed him dinner at night (an automated feeder takes care of the rest), and make sure to play/cuddle with him for at least an hour every day! When caring for pets in your home, I’m happy to follow whatever guidelines your household may have regarding feeding, litter cleanup, being let out to pee, enrichment time, training, walks, crating, enforcing house rules, you name it!

Jessica was great with our energetic 6 month old lab!! He was exhausted after the walk!

Jessica is one of the kindest and most responsible and people I know. She would 100% be the first person I would ask to watch one of my pets. Jess is constantly outdoors to visit dog parks and beaches so would definitely keep your pet active and entertained. Any dog lucky would be lucky to stay with her!

Jessica took care of my 2-year-old pup with such care I would 100% recommend her to anyone! She is very flexible with schedule and attentive when it comes to walking my pup and looking after him while I am away on work trips. Her dedication and excellent service is why I chose her to keep looking after my furry one. Without a doubt will keep using her service! Highly recommend!

Schedule

When it comes to your pets, my schedule is wide open and I am free anytime after noon on weekdays for walking/home check-ins, or anytime at all on weekends. For house sitting, I can make your home my base any day of the week and will only need to leave the house for maximum a couple hours each day just to go to the gym on some weekdays.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Jessica can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
I’d like to know anything specific about their habits (pee schedule, food schedule, how active they are, how good with basic commands) as well as whether you have any special instructions to make sure we have the best experience possible together!
