Safety, trust & environment

I follow instructions carefully and can handle more complex situations including special needs pets. I do my best to stick to their usual routine as much as possible. I treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I genuinely enjoy connecting with animals, and even the most hesitant ones tend to warm up to me pretty quickly.

Happy to have Jewel care for our dogs and house. She is very conscientious, responsible, and communicates well. Great find for a pet sitter!

Jewel was great to work with - sent frequent updates and worked well with our dogs, one of whom does not warm up well to new people.

We’ve worked with Jewel several times and it’s always a great experience - clear and communicative while taking care of our pups and so courteous of our home. Would recommend many times over.

Jewel is the best! She was so patient with my two dogs, both of whom are very nervous / flighty with new people. My boy shuts down the most and just wants to hide so he’s never let a sitter walk him which limits him to the yard anytime I’m gone. Jewel has such calm and grounded energy and she earned his trust and got him out walking on her first stay. Such a relief, as Kanoa lives for his walks. Communication was great - I got daily updates and photos for both dogs. My home was also immaculate upon return.

Schedule

A year ago, I transitioned out of my former career to focus on a full-time advanced practice nursing program. For the 2026 Fall semester (September through December), my schedule will involve meeting in-person on campus every other Tuesday from 8am-5pm. Additionally, I will be teaching on Wednesday evenings from 6pm-9pm and Thursdays 12pm-6pm. My coursework is generally otherwise online and flexible and I’m happy to work with you to the best of my ability to make sure your pets are well cared for and comfortable while you’re away.

It’s really helpful for me to know your pet’s energy level, personality quirks, and anything you’d like me to keep an eye on. I appreciate having important details and instructions documented for me to refer back to, since I do a number of sits and it can be difficult to keep the instructions for different households straight. If your pet needs more involved or specialized care, I’m happy to help to the best of my ability. I just ask, again, for clear, detailed instructions. Depending on the level of care required, a rate adjustment may be needed.
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.
