Pet care experience
Pets Are Always Family Here
Animals have been my whole world since I was a kid. I started helping care for pets at 13, and by 16 I had already turned that love into real professional experience. Now at 26, I've spent the majority of my life working with animals in some capacity — and I still look forward to every single visit. I've had cats my entire life, have 13+ years of experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and have spent close to a decade caring for small animals too — guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, you name it. Big dogs, little dogs, shy cats, skittish hamsters — I've worked with all kinds of personalities and I genuinely enjoy the ones that take a little extra patience. I know how much your pet means to you, because mine mean everything to me. Every animal I care for gets treated like my own — whether that means sticking to their routine, giving them extra cuddles, or just sitting quietly with them until they warm up to me. I take this seriously, and I think that comes through pretty quickly once you meet me.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I'm in your home, I treat it — and your pet — like my own. That means leaving things exactly as I found them, respecting your space, and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable the whole time I'm there. You shouldn't have to worry about anything while I'm on the job. I also take weather seriously when it comes to walks. If it's over 85°F or below 32°F, I won't take your dog out for a full walk — not because I'm cutting corners, but because it's genuinely not safe for them. Instead, I'll take them out for a shorter trip to handle their business and get a little fresh air, then spend the remaining time as a drop-in — giving them attention, playtime, and company indoors. Your pet's safety always comes first, and I'd rather make that call than push through conditions that could put them at risk. One more thing worth mentioning — if your dog has a history of pulling on the leash, I won't walk them along main roads. It's just not a risk I'm willing to take for either of us. I'd much rather stick to quieter streets and sidewalks where I can keep them safe and in control. If this applies to your dog, just give me a heads up ahead of time so I can plan the route accordingly!
Ratings and reviews
JJ took amazing care of our 3 cats and boa while we were away for the holidays. They were attentive and kept me updated on everything! I definitely felt at ease knowing our pets were in good hands. Highly recommend!
Thank you Jj so much for taking such good care of Smokey!!!
JJ has become our regular pet sitter and we are so grateful! JJ is fast to respond, reliable, and communicative.
She’s the best.
JJ is reliable and does a wonderful job checking in and providing updates. We have an anxious hound dog, and JJ seems unfazed by our high-needs pup. It’s been so nice to have someone who is willing and able to do repeat stays, especially since our dog takes a minute to warm up to others.
Thank you JJ! It was wonderful to know that cats were taken care of while away for so long.

Schedule
I'm currently balancing part-time college and part-time work, so my availability on Rover shifts week to week. I pick up walks and drop-in visits when my schedule allows, so I may not always be available on short notice — but I'm happy to plan ahead if you reach out early! Please note that I'm not accepting any overnight or sitting requests at this time — just walks and drop-ins.
