Information Jessica W. would like to know about your pet

I normally take my dog guests on one long-ish walk in the morning, a shorter walk in the late afternoon and a very brief walk in the evening before we go to bed. In addition, I leave the back door open so they can go outside on the deck whenever they want.

Dogs come first!

Pet care experience

I realized that dogs come first in my life when a small dog that I was taking care of was curled up on my lap, which prevented me from pulling out the computer keyboard tray so I could work. Faced with the choice of continuing to work or keeping the dog on my lap, I chose the dog. I do my best to tune in to each dog's personality and needs and provide them with care and affection while making them feel secure in a new environment. Unfortunately, I am not equipped to take care of large (over 40 pounds) or highly active dogs.

Jessica was great! I was nervous leaving my boy via Rover for the first time but he came home happy and safe after staying with Jessica. Highly recommend and will use again!

Jessica has been so patient with my anxious dog, Daisy (and with Daisy's anxious person, me). We worked up to an overnight and it went well. I can tell Jessica really cares about dogs and makes sure they have a comfortable stay. We will be booking with her again and I won't hesitate to refer her to friends.

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.
