“Our usual sitter was unavailable for a trip we were going on so I found Jessica and she was great! We had a good experience with her and our sweet dog had an enjoyable stay. She was pretty flexible with drop-off/pick-up and was able to get our dog to eat (which is unusual as she doesn't eat well while we're gone). Whenever I reached out to check on how things were going, she was good about responding and let me know how things were going. I would definitely use her services again and would recommend her!!!”
