Pet care experience

🐾 Hi there! Nice to meet you! I work from home full time, and can provide round the clock care for your furry family members. I started using Rover as a sitter in 2013, and then as an owner for my own pets, so I understand the value of having a trusted, attentive, responsible caretaker, and I will provide an easy, exceptional sitter experience for both you and your pet. Please read my profile, check out my photos, and reach out to me with any questions, at any time😊 I make an effort to reply quickly, and can typically respond to inquiries within 15 minutes. I can be flexible on rates for multiple pet households, please ask me about it if you have a zoo situation going on, and we will see what we can do:) Thank you for considering me! 🐾 Meet & Greets: For new clients, I like to do a quick (complimentary) Meet & Greet so that I can meet you and your pets, and walk me through their typical day. It allows me to ask questions, and answer any that you might have for me. A quick meeting goes a long way toward ensuring your peace of mind. 🐾About me: Growing up, my dad bred and trained sporting dogs (behavior modification and field trials), so dogs have been a core part of my life since I was young. For the past 10 years, I’ve regularly dog sat in various setting: in the owners' homes and my own, for clients and for friends. Everyone that knows me can attest to my love of dogs :) I’ll spoil them (to the extent you’ll allow) and love them like my own. 📌🐶Penny is currently in Tennessee for the spring and summer, enjoying lakefront life with her newly retired grandparents, and helping them adjust while they grieve the recent passing of their beloved chihuahua Heidi (in my photos). This leaves me with a lot of extra love and attention to give your pet! Caring for your dog(s) will help to fill that Penny-sized void in my life, while ensuring that your travels are worry free.

Whitney is a great sitter. She took great care of our 3 fur babies. She kept us updated and informed with everything going on while we were away. We will be requesting Whitney to watch our girls again. Thank you so much.

M loves going to Whitney's 😊 He gets excited when I drop him off and is always happy and relaxed when I pick him up. We moved across town but it's well worth the drive to not have to worry about him.

Whitney was really great with our Skylar (dog) and Luna (cat) and even with out last minute add on foster (cat). We always rather have someone stay with them overnight and she was amazing. She was very thorough when asking about their daily routine so she could keep it as is while we were gone for our vacation. She would update me with pictures of them and letting me know how they were doing anytime I asked. Next time we go out of town or even for future outings to just check on them I will be using Whitney again :)

Whitney did an excellent job with Kona. She took care of all of his needs and made him feel at ease. I would highly recommend and would hire her again. She is like family and will take care of you pet like it was her own.

Information Whitney J. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your pet(s) normal daily routine, any health conditions/medications, and any reactivity issues. A quick overview when inquiring is helpful and very appreciated. No routine or habit is too quirky or too bizarre, so *please* feel comfortable sharing any unique needs or special requests that will help me in providing a fun, enjoyable stay for your pets! I love big personalities, so if you have a little weirdo or big goofball, I’m your girl☺️ NOTE: I am experienced working with and caring for reactive dogs, but safe care —for both me and your dog— requires full transparency and disclosure from you.

A typical day

• Typical Day: I want to keep your pet as close to their normal routine as possible, so whatever that entails is what we will do:) Daily walks are welcomed, and play time is always on the table. If their typical schedule involves napping and lounging all day, that works too. No habit or quirk is too weird or silly for me to accommodate, I promise. If your dog is an attention hound, they will be more than welcome to sleep, snuggle, and relax with me:) Or, if they’re not allowed on the furniture, I’ll ensure that rule is followed. Exercise or playtime routines, you name it, we’ll do it!

🐾While You’re Away: Your peace of mind and your pet(s) comfort is my top priority. I’m home full time and can provide nearly constant care for your pets. I won’t be away from the house for more than a couple of hours maximum. I work as a Threat Intelligence Manager on a global team, so my workday usually begins early, but my schedule is extremely flexible, especially after mid-morning when my European teammates have signed off for the day.
