I'll be your dog's surrogate BFF =)

Pet care experience

I'm a life long animal lover! Be reassured that your pet will be comfortable and safe as well as entertained. I’m usually the first person my friends with pets call when they go out of town. Animals are my passion. If money wasn’t a thing I would do this gratis! They just bring me such joy and I love giving that love right back to their cute furry little faces :)

Jody did a great job taking care of our two cats! She was very communicative and sent pictures/videos that I appreciated. Thank you Jody!!

Jody was great! We engaged her at the last minute and she came to our place for a meet and greet the same day. She also volunteered to come get Oreo the next day when we were leaving, which took pressure off us and made it easier for Oreo (and me!) to separate. Oreo was well cared for and did not seem traumatized in any way when we got back, an experience we had in the past when she stayed with a local boarding place. In fact, she looked cleaner when she came back than she did when she went. I got pictures of her sleeping next to Jody’s bed, exactly where she sleeps when she’s at home with us. She looked very comfortable. I also appreciated Jody providing feeding bowls and sleeping pillows, so we didn’t have to haul that back and forth. I was a little dubious about using Rover, just because I hadn’t heard of the business, but everything positive in Jody’s other reviews is true. Oreo was happy to see us when we picked her up, but I’m pretty sure she’d be very happy to encounter Jody and Kevin again anywhere. Jody also was gracious about our ever-changing return plans. I was dependent on others’ schedules and I kept changing return times although ultimately we got back about when I said we would. I feel like I’ve met a new neighbor, and I would definitely use Jody again.

Jody was a great sitter for Pip, our senior cockapoo. She was very communicative and sent lots of update pictures and videos during our week away. She was very patient with him while he adjusted to being away from home. Her senior dog Kevin is also a total sweetheart. Jody was really flexible when we had a travel delay and needed a family member to pick Pip up at a different time than originally scheduled. Im pretty anxious leaving our dog with anyone outside of the family, but Jody took excellent care of him and returned him happy and calm. I will definitely use her again the next time we go out of town! Thanks Jody!

Jody is my first call whenever we travel to take care of our boy. It is a comfort knowing he is in good hands. She is a very caring and handles our asthmatic kitty well.
