Pet Care Experience I’ve been caring for animals for years, both in rescue work and as a professional pet sitter. I truly love animals and understand how important it is for them to feel safe and settled — especially when their owners are away. For overnight stays in your home, my goal is simple: keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that’s long walks, playtime, medication schedules, or quiet companionship, I follow your instructions carefully so your pets feel secure and cared for. I’m calm, reliable, and respectful of your home. I send regular updates and photos so you can travel with peace of mind. Why I Love Dog Sitting Animals have always been part of my life. There’s something deeply rewarding about earning their trust and seeing them relax when they realize they’re safe. I take pride in being someone both pets and their owners can rely on.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets with lots of love, attention, patience, and consistency while also respecting your home and your pet’s normal routine. I do my best to help pets feel safe and comfortable by following their feeding schedule, walk routine, sleep habits, medications, and any special instructions closely. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or simply calm companionship, I want them to feel relaxed and well cared for while you’re away. 😊

Jody was so wonderful. I had to find a pet sitter short notice and she was not only so accommodating but made me feel so comfortable with leaving Fern. She sent so many pictures and kept me constantly updated. Would very highly recommend using Jody as she has lots of love to share with pups :)

Zach and Lady love staying with Jody! She reminds them of home and my older guy, Zach, is comfortable and relaxed in her care. We were on vacation and I messed up the return date; Jody was very flexible and understanding! Our doggies will definitely stay with Jody again! 😀

My fur baby, Holly enjoyed her stay with Jodi. I was worried about leaving her because she never stayed with someone out of the family. From all of the pictures Jodi sent daily I could tell Holly was happy with her visit with Jodi.

Jody was absolutely incredible with Biscuit! She is a wonderful pet sitter and took outstanding care of my dog Biscuit. Front the first time we did a home visit, I got a good impression. It's very difficult leaving your pet with a complete stranger but daily I received numerous pictures which made me feel at ease that Biscuit was receiving the greatest of care. She was very accommodating when I had to quickly rebook to attend a funeral after my business trip. Biscuit and I look forward to booking Jody again in June. Thanks for doing such a great job!!!

Schedule

I work remotely part-time with a flexible schedule, so your pets will receive lots of attention, companionship, outdoor time, and love while you’re away. I do my best to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines, feeding schedules, walks, and house expectations as closely as possible so they feel safe and relaxed in their own environment. I also love sending photo updates so you can enjoy your vacation knowing your pets are happy and well cared for! 💛

I need to understand all his/her needs including eating habits, quirks, preferences, favorite toys, games, etc. I would also like emergency contact information as well of his or her vet details with phone numbers. First time clients will need to provide a copy of vet records.
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.
