Experienced dog and cat sitter
Pet care experience
I love animals of all kinds. In 2019, I started dog walking and cat sitting professionally and began fostering with Hopalong Animal Rescue - I fostered two puppies, two large pitbulls, and a small adult chihuahua mix. I have experience with senior dogs and cats, puppies and puppy training, dog and cat anxiety, separation anxiety, and all kinds of medical and behavioral needs. I have worked extensively with a trainer for three years for my own anxious rescue dog and have learned how to read dog body language, training exercises for anxious dogs, and lots of fun games that I can use to tire out your pup! I have also love doing drop-in visits for cats and enjoy their company when they feel like being around us humans! I’d love to meet you and your non-human family, get to know their needs, likes, and dislikes, and see how I can help.
Reviews
Jess was very thoughtful and thorough. She kept me updated on my cat and made sure he was well taken care of!
Jess kept my mind at ease while I was away for a week and gave thorough updates on how my cat was doing, sent photos and ensured me she was being loved! Highly recommend Jess for pet care!
Jess’s drop ins have been so helpful for us. I always get lots of great photos and fun informative updates that give me peace of mind for my kitties!
Jess is great! They are very attentive with my doggy who has big feelings. Thank you!!

Safety, trust & environment
I will treat your home and your cuties like my own and will closely follow any directions you have. If you don’t have specific directions, I will ask all the questions I need to ensure that your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I go above and beyond the basics - I want to know what they really love, what training they’ve had, and what helps them feel comfortable while you’re away.
Information Jess M. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know all the basics of their care, what you’re looking for during drop-ins, what they like and don’t like, how they are around people and other animals, what training they have, their going out routine, whether they have any behavioral needs or environmental triggers, and how much exercise they need.
A typical day
I’m very big on mental stimulation and love to play games to help get out some of that energy! I can teach some games and tricks if you and your pup are interested as well! With cats, I base my approach on you and learn how much interaction I can expect and what they’re comfortable with.
