Pet care experience
Providing Tail-Waggingly Good Care!
Animals have always had my heart whether they have fur, feathers, or floppy ears, I love them like they’re my own! 🐾 From playful puppies to wise old whiskers, I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve had the joy of helping many senior pets live comfortably and happily in their golden years. I truly believe pets are family, and I understand how important it is for them to stay in their own cozy space, surrounded by familiar smells, toys, and routines. That’s why I provide the kind of loving care and attention you’d give them yourself so you can relax knowing your furry (or not-so-furry!) family members are safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. With over 12 years of experience in pet and house sitting (both through Rover and independently), I’ve spent lots of time with older pups and pets who need daily medication and a little extra TLC. I know how reassuring it is to have someone trustworthy in your home and by your pet’s side. 🐶💬 Just a heads-up: while I’m great at snuggles, meds, and belly rubs, I’m not a certified dog trainer so I will not be offering training services. If you have a training routine you’d like to continue while gone please let me know so I can accommodate. For everyone’s comfort and peace of mind, please let me know if there are any security cameras inside the home before a sit begins. I completely understand the need for home security, but just as a heads-up it’s illegal in most states to place cameras in private areas like bathrooms or bedrooms, even if it’s your own home. I respect your space and privacy and kindly ask for the same in return. Thank you so much for understanding! 🐾🏡 (I’m very committed to animal welfare and have been an animal rights activist for years. Copy of background check available upon request for in home stays.)

Safety, trust & environment
I always aim to create a safe, calm space where your dog can feel at ease. As a new face in their home, I take things slow, stay relaxed, and tune into their energy letting them set the pace. I understand how confusing or stressful it can be when their favorite human isn’t around, so my goal is to build trust and help them feel secure, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾💛
Ratings and reviews
Jess is absolutely incredible! She sends daily updates and my dog absolutely LOVES her!! I never have to stress over the kind of care Rory gets with her either ☺️
Jess is absolutely amazing. I chose her to watch my dog while I was gone for my wedding and honeymoon because I knew that I wouldn't have to worry about anything while I was gone. She is so easy to work with, my dog loves her, and mu apartment was cleaner than I left it when I got back. 100/10 will book her again next time my husband and I leave town!
Jess was absolutely incredible! She was very communicative and sent lots of pics. I didn't have any concerns at all that my dogs needs weren't being met and my dog really liked her. 100/10 will book again next time we go out of town!
Jess did a great job watching Loki and our house while we were on vacation. She kept our husky very happy and entertained, kept us informed on how things were going with messages and pictures. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Jess. She is our go to Rover now!
Jess is excellent!! She took such a good care of my dogs and my house. When it comes to look for a pet sitter having a reliable and experienced person is the most important thing for me. I would highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted and experienced pet sitter! She has a very calm demeanor and my dogs felt very comfortable around her. Thank you again Jess! :)
Book this woman!!!! I have super happy animals without pent up energy. (Actually they may be disappointed it was us.) My house is cleaner than I left it. She communicated well, and just overall made us feel good about being away from our crybabies.

Schedule
Pet care is a big part of my routine, and I always aim for clear, honest communication up front to make sure I’m the right fit before booking this helps avoid any surprises or conflicts later on. I also offer full-time care and am happy to take time off work to focus completely on your pet, especially if they’re extra cuddly or need that close, consistent companionship (Velcro pups are my specialty 🐶💕).
