Pet care experience

Former vet tech - loves dogs, cats

I have 7 years of prior vet tech experience and numerous years experience caring for my own animals, plus a few years of prior off and on pet sitting experience. I grew up on a small farm with a number of different animals, including lots of dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and rabbits. I am comfortable with dogs up to about 80 pounds or so - for larger dogs, I am ok with walking them if they do not pull excessively or if they can use a Gentle Leader or other type of head halter. I am comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and cleaning up dog poop from the yard. I love to play and snuggle with dogs and cats, as long as the feeling is mutual. I prefer to exercise high energy dogs in a fenced in yard so they have the freedom to run as much as needed.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to care for pets in the client's home due to my dog being high-energy and rambunctious. I can do drop-in visits for dogs or cats to let them out in the yard, scoop litter boxes, provide play time, check food/water bowls, etc, or dog-walking if your dog needs to get out of the house while you're away for the day.

Jody did a great job in caring for our cat. We got daily informative updates as well as pics. I felt like she was taken good care of while we were away!

Jody is super warm, caring, and knowledgeable. She was kind enough to help us out with all our Qs about new puppy parenthood and gave us tons of advice. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I am currently available Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 2pm and 7pm, with more flexibility Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays Please message me for specific availability, as there are times I may have a scheduled appointment or prior commitment. I do require a meet and greet prior to providing any pet-sitting services, so I typically do not accept last minute requests for new clients. I can accept last minute requests for existing clients, as a meet and greet would have already taken place. I DO NOT give out my personal cell phone number, and communicate only through the Rover app/Rover-provided phone number. Any spam/scams will be reported.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Jody can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I would like to know if a dog or cat has any behavior issues, is on medication, and/or has any health issues. I also always like to have emergency contact and veterinary information provided to me, just in case.
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.
