Pet care experience
I have been working with animals for over 11 years. I have been Pet CPR and First Aid certified. I love all animals, and have experience with most types - dogs, cats, fish, chinchillas, rabbits, chickens, goats, horses, reptiles, birds and more! I have worked for a Humane Society, Doggy Daycare, Grooming facility and Veterinary office. I have always known my passion is animals, but I have finally found my calling as a self employed Pet Sitter! I love what I do, and I pray that I will be able to continue offering my services to the Hampton Roads area! I am also a Pet Portrait Photographer, I can do them any time, including while I am caring for your pet(s)! I do no breed discriminate; however, big & fluffy pups are my favorite, but I love them all!! It is important to find a Pet Sitter you can trust and feel comfortable with. They aren't just animals, they are family. I wish you the best of luck finding the perfect sitter!!

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! Jesika and Stephanie always go above and beyond what they guarentee! We had Stephanie this go round and I dont ever have to worry about my baby girl, because she treats her like one of her own. What a happy pup I come home to! As well as a tidy house! Love it! We love Steph and Jesika!!! You will never go wrong getting them as sitter, so experienced and trust worthy. They always keep in touch to see when we come back to see if another break for Abbi is needed. This means so much to me. What a peace of mind. Thank you ladies! Yall are a great team! Yall will always be my go to!!!♥️♥️♥️
Accomadating, kept us well informed of the status of our puppy.
We booked Jesika for extended in-home sitting of our two dogs and two cats. It was our first time traveling without the dogs and we were a little nervous to leave them behind, but Jesika kept our minds at ease by doing a great job of keeping us updated and sending lots of photos. Our dogs are usually weary of strangers but took to Jesika right away! We were able to relax and enjoy our honeymoon knowing that she was taking care of our babies. We will definitely be reaching out to Jesika again the next time we need a sitter- we're so glad that we found her!
Jesika has been fantastic! She takes great care of our dogs, makes sure they get enough exercise and lots of cuddles, communicates with us daily and sticks to the schedule we set. I never have to worry about our boys in her care.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I make sure pets get food, water, medication, and attention. When the parents aren't home, some pets don't want attention, but some want more than they ever have before. I can be flexible per family and animal. I even take care of things around the house: plants, mail, lights, etc.

Information Jesika J. would like to know about your pet
I have experience with most breeds and I do NOT breed discriminate. The things I need to know about your pet is 1. What their normal routine consists of 2. Feeding instructions. 3. The pet's personality. 4. Their likes and dislikes. 5. Medical history/problems. And if your pets are staying with me, they need to be dog friendly and up to date on the necessary vaccines. Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella.
A typical day
A tired dog is a happy dog! I always ask the parents if there are certain activities the dog would prefer. I love to play and give love! Some pets would be rather left alone, which I can understand and accommodate. I walk them, play in the yard and if they are dog friendly we can go to the park!
