I recently took on a new job, and I work from 10 to 4 Monday through Friday. I am still open to caring for pets but I simply want everyone to know that things have changed a little bit for me recently. I walk my dog in the morning and a quick one on my lunch and a couple in the evening. These are the same times that I would take your fur baby out for potty breaks and fun.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a fenced in yard, but I live in a neighborhood that is small, somewhat closed in, my house is on a dead end road and most of the people in my neighborhood only live here during the weekends or summer months. It is a safe neighborhood. I would walk the dogs with my dog or separately if requested by the owner.

Information Jody S. would like to know about your pet

I would appreciate a written list of important people, like family and vet. A specific list and instructions for feeding, potty breaks and any other important needs your pet may need to feel at home in my home.

A typical day

Up at 6 am, feed pets and walk my dog. I walk the dogs before I go to work at 10 and then I come home for a quick break at noon for a snack and another quick walk. Dinner for my pets and myself at 6, followed with another walk. Usually one more quick walk before I go to bed at 10pm.

Pets

Animals are my best FRIENDS.

Pet care experience

I have been a pet caregiver my entire life. I love being around animals more than humans. They bring so much joy to my life and my goal is to do the same for them.

Jody was absolutely phenomenal and went above and beyond my expectations! She was timely and attentive with our pup. The regular communication and pictures made our trip so much more enjoyable knowing our pet was well cared for. Would definitely use again and recommend her for any opportunity!

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.
