Safety, trust & environment

I’m a firm believer in leaving pets AND homes in the same condition (or better!) than I found them. You never have to worry about mess with me.

Information Jess B. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference, I love all animals! I’d like to know any allergies or medical issues. Also need to know if they are up to date on shots (specifically rabies) and any behavioral concerns, like separation anxiety or resource guarding.

A typical day

I'm all about doing what the pets are interested in. Whether you have a high energy zoomie who wants walks several times a day and excursions to the nearest dog park, or you've got a nama-stay in bed kind of personality who prefers snuggles and naps, I let the furry friends set the tone for what kind of activities we do.

Pet care experience

I truly love animals and I adore pet sitting! I work in animal welfare, and have been pet-sitting for many years. So for me, animals are my whole life! I have been pet sitting for years in various ways - providing in-home pet-sitting for previous co-workers and friends prior to launching my own pet sitting business 5 years ago. I am also a dog and cat owner myself, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust watching your babies while you're away! In additional to pet sitting for the last few years, I have been working full-time in animal welfare since 2018. I promise to provide the highest level of care for your furry (or not so furry!) friends. I’m comfortable caring for small animals, birds, exotics, reptiles, fish, and livestock! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, from eight weeks old all the way to the sweet seniors! I am Cat & Dog CPR and First Aid Certified. I have no problems giving medication or shots. I'm happy to make sure your pets follow their typical routines as much as possible while you're gone, so that there can be an easy transition in and out of my care. I also have extensive experience with dogs who have social and/or separation anxiety, as my two rescues both had issues with anxiety when they first came home with me. I have the knowledge to make sure your pets feel comfortable and happy while you're out of town! Thanks for taking the time to read all of this, and I hope you'll consider me as your professional pet snuggler while you head out for your much deserved vacation!
