Pet care experience
VetTech/StayHomeMomLOVE ALL SPECIES
I truly loved working as a vet tech for 7 years total but after our 3rd baby was born, staying home for the kids was the best plan for our family. However, I badly miss my canine clients and their parents so much so that when I discovered Rover.com, I just knew this would be a great opportunity for me to get my "doggie fix"as well as give the pet parents the reassurance that their fur kids are in great hands. I am qualified and very capable of providing the kind of care that I would love my own kids, both 2-legged and 4-legged, to receive in my absence. Any and all animals in my care most definitely will benefit as I will do what is necessary to keep them safe and sound, just as I do with my own critters. It's a win-win situation! I'd also like to mention that I've become extremely coyote-conscious and feel very confident in my ability to deter any danger that could possibly be encountered with all animals in my care. I will guard these beloved kiddos with my own life. This I promise with my deepest sincerity! Everyone that knows me or is familiar with my household knows that we are all HUGE animal lovers!!! Some folks may be delighted to learn that my capabilities are not narrowed down to only dogs and cats either...we have had or currently have a variety of species including an iguana, bearded dragons, a chameleon, a tegu lizard, cats, ferrets, rats, mice, hamsters, a guinea pig and a desert tortoises. I also volunteer on Thursday's down at the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center and am the proud foster mommy to a number of orphaned baby possums that would not survive without human help otherwise. Once they meet all requirements that ensure their greatest chance of survival, they are released back into the wild ☺️

Safety, trust & environment
Each dog has their own personality, as well as behaviors. I adjust according to that. Some dogs will need to be kept in a smaller area of our three level home. In that case I can close doors and have a bunch of baby gates to keep safety a top priority. Other dogs may require bigger areas. For those, I usually just put a gate up at bottom of stairs to prevent a pup from going upstairs to the floor we’ve given to our cats and rats (caged). That’s where the cat food and litter boxes are also. But the second floor consists of a family room/office area. As well as a kitchen and 1/2 bathroom and very large living room and dining room. The more free spirited or larger breed pups have the entire floor to hang out and play or nap or be with us humans since it’s where you’ll find me and whoever else might also be home 😊
Ratings and reviews
Jodi has watched our dog George many times now and she’s always wonderful! She’s very professional, punctual, and follows all of our care instructions very well. George loves her and is even sometimes a little upset to see her leave. I would highly recommend Jodi!
Jodi was so great with our dog George! She’s professional, punctual, and it’s very obvious she loves animals! Both times she watched George this week we came home to a happy pup.
Jodi is great! This is our second time working together and definitely not the last.
Jodi is always awesome when she checks in our two dogs. She’s always so communicative and our pups love seeing her.
Jodi recently stayed with our dogs for six nights while we were away at the beach. She was reliable, punctual, and very professional. Jodi provided daily updates and sent us pictures of our furry babies, and best of all - our dogs loved her. We will be contacting Jodi first when we need a pet sitter for travel!!
She did very good taking care of my Guinea Pigs and Kitties while we were away for a week!

Schedule
I am a homebody, to say the least. It’s my happy place for sure. When I do leave it’s for only a short increments of time, like taking to or picking up kids from school or to a dog walk or drop-in pet care jobs. These are usually under an hour or if I’ve got back to back jobs, I’m gone no longer than 2 hours 🥰
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsJodi can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- In order for me to be leader of the pack I'll need to inquire about: -Any possible aggression issues towards other dogs or people. -I'd love to know if the dog can perform any tricks and whether they are easily motivated by food/"treats". -Are there any sort of restrictions or limits that need to be adhered to in order to keep their doggy safe and secure...and happy! ??
