Veterinary Technician, CPR cert.

Pet care experience

ROVER CARDS AND PICS ALWAYS SENT WITH EVERY BOOKING 💖💖💖 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️ I have used Rover personally and know how frustrating it is to not get updates. I will keep you updated every day (unless of course you prefer I dont). I realized that although there are an abundance of pet care specialists, very few have the training and experience to deal with special needs, geriatric pets, or animal emergencies. So I started focusing more on where the need was. I grew up on a farm and have had animals my whole life. I am a second generation vet tech. I am trained in emergency medicine, so rest assured your babies will get the best possible care. I can handle special needs pets, young or old pets, and am confident administering oral, topical, sub-dermal, and injectable medication. I have a small dog. I am Fear Free certified and I only do things to the upmost comfort of the animals in my care. I have extensive continuous education in both medical and behavioral topics. I am animal CPR certified. I am dependable and reliable, and I will treat your babies just like my own. I love my work with animals and it shows. I am a mature adult with excellent references, and I am always just a phone call or text away. I always send updates, pics and videos. *puppy rates reflet the extra time, attention, and breaks puppies need! Overnight includes a free meet and greet, overnight is about 9pm- 10am the nights i work at the veterinary hospital and my days off longer. I always make sure they have potty breaks for overnights. Drop in visits are 30 minutes. Hotel sitting is $25 an hour plus parking and included walks or whatever else is requested. Contact me to work out specific rate details, or for special requests. I have two dogs full time and share custody of a cat so sometimes there is a cat here. I also foster many animals, so there may be others here. I keep ALL animals separate unless the guest pets parents SPECIFICALLY ASK for them to have play time with whoever may be here. I am able to house animal selective animals and am EXTREMELY CAREFUL. with animal introductions. Please ask for more info! My pets are all vaccinated and so am I lol *pets with extreme storm anxiety or any issues that requires extensive time will be charged as puppies* Although i do work full time, a lot of my time is devoted to my sitting and my clients (extended family). I will do anything that is needed. Rarely do i take new clients now, but if there are openings in my schedule and I’m not booked i will meet with you. I have a small dog who’s an excellent host, and a cat. I have small caged animals who are kept in a separate room. Your dog can be crated or free range. Cats are always protected and allowed where they want. I will accommodate whatever is needed. Dogs with extreme anxiety requiring much extra time will be cared for properly which requires a puppy fee to block my schedule.

Still trying to convince Butternut that his world isn't ending and I'll go on vacation again so he'll get to see Jessica and Poppy again. He really loves them

Jessica has cared for our dogs and cat several times and has been totally excellent. We hope she’ll be available again the next time we head out of town.

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.
