I've had the privilege of volunteering alongside Jodie at Humane Colorado for nearly a decade, and over the years, she's also become a close friend. Watching her work with dogs throughout that time has given me a unique perspective—not only on her exceptional skills and experience, but on the compassion and integrity she brings to everything she does. Working with shelter dogs requires patience, empathy, confidence, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Time and again, I've watched Jodie meet each dog with kindness, respect, and unwavering dedication. She has extensive experience and consistently puts the safety and well-being of every dog first. Whether she's reading subtle body language, navigating challenging situations with a calm, steady presence, or making thoughtful decisions in the moment, she always acts with the dog's best interests—and the safety of those around them—in mind. Beyond her volunteer work at the shelter, Jodie has opened her home to countless foster puppies, giving them the love, stability, and guidance they need during a critical stage of their lives. Through her patience and nurturing care, she helps them build confidence, develop important social skills, and prepare for successful transitions into their forever homes. Every puppy lucky enough to be in her care has benefited from her unwavering commitment and genuine love for animals. I trust Jodie completely with any dog entrusted to her. She is dependable, knowledgeable, responsible, and deeply passionate about animal care. Just as importantly, she is kind, thoughtful, honest, and someone who pours her whole heart into everything she does. I recommend Jodie without reservation to anyone looking for a compassionate, experienced, and trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker through Rover. Any pet would be fortunate to spend time in her care.
