Pet care experience
I currently work for the USDA as part of the Animal Welfare Information Center (AWIC) team. Prior to that I received a master's degree in Animal Science, specifically animal welfare. I have worked at multiple veterinary clinics, dog shelters and my first job was pet sitting. I love being around animals which is why I pursued a career and education in animals and any extra time I can spend with dogs is time well spent! I have a very sweet 7 year old golden retriever and a playful 2 year old Bernese mountain dog. We have a big fenced in back yard and access to miles of greenway right behind our house including waking distance to Lake Elkhorn. I work fully remote so I can be home with your pup during the week and my husband is in grad school where he will have a flexible schedule and also be home. This means we’ll have plenty of time to care and play with your furry friend!
Reviews
Very nice couple. My dog had so much fun playing with their dog. They send frequent pictures and were very responsive.
My husband and I have a German-Shepard hound mix that gets nervous in new houses. We worry about where to leave him when we go out of town but have found Jessie who takes great care of our pup. When we pick him up from her house, he always seems calm and comfortable around both her and her dog. It is comforting knowing we have the option of having Jessie watch our dog when we have to leave town. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for watching Luna! First time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased. Will definitely rebook.
Jessie, Thank you so much for taking such good care of Opie and Barrett this weekend! Could not have asked for a better dog sitter! :)
