About: I have had animals all my life. I grew up with large dogs and indoor cats. Currently on the farm, I have 3 dogs, 2 horses, chickens, ducks, and a barn cat! Our pets are family and yours will be too! I am available for drop in visits daily. I can do boarding at my home anytime. There is always someone home to care for the animals. I have an 8 acre property with plenty of room for dogs to run and play. Dogs can be leashed if needed, but will be watched 24/7 when outside.

About: What sets me apart from all sitters is my deep depth for all animals. As a child, I have always developed a love for animals. My love and compassion for animals spilled over into the education field working with students with special needs. Presently, I have four rescue cats, two classroom guinea pigs, and four dogs, one of which is a rescue. I volunteer with my country's animal shelter, and I have fostered and saved many animals. My love for critters is endless. I am a teacher, so teachers do not work in the summer. However, I do work teaching summer school and a camp in June. I can work evenings and remain overnight. I have the entire month of July off. My children are grown, so my schedule is flexible. I can provide references. I live in a secluded area, so when I am home, they have free range. My dogs are leash trained. During the day when I am home, they remain in a crate. I live six minutes from work, so they arent in their crates all day. My oldest daughter lives with me, so when I am away, they are taken care of.

Jessica S.
“I have known Jessica for over 10 years and have had the privilege to observe her hard work, organization, and care for not only what she’s doing, but also whom she is doing it with. In the 10 years that I’ve known Jessica, I have had a beagle, Bailey, and two, very sweet and playful cats, Milo and Mittens. I often have to travel for work and unfortunately, am not able to always take them with me. During these times, Jessica is always eager to care and be there for them in my absence which, as a cat and dog mom, means the world to me. I can appreciate that this is something that Jessica knows about me and is always willing to accommodate by updating me with pictures of my babies, keep me updated on how they’re feeding and toileting, and getting along in general. If someone is lucky enough to get Jessica as their pet caregiver, I know they will have the same experience!”

Before she went off to college, she lived with 4 dogs, 3 cats, 3 rabbits, a tortoise and a sugar glider so she is well versed in the pet world!
