Highlights
Pet care experience
Veterinary Care Assistant
I have over 6 years of experience pet sitting, caring for a wide range of animals with different needs, temperaments, and routines. Alongside this, I work as a Veterinary Care Assistant, which has given me hands on experience in animal health, behaviour, and welfare. I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to senior pets, as well as small animals and more specialised care requirements. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while their owners are away, and I always aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s administering medication, managing nervous behaviour, or just making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise, I approach every pet with patience and care. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animal welfare. References are available on request.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I would highly recommend Jess! She is an excellent dog sitter! This was the first time I had ever left my dog with a sitter and I was anxious about it as my dog can get quite upset when left even with family members 😞 We had a family wedding to go to and were going to be out for a long time but Jess put my mind at ease! Jess came over to meet us a few weeks beforehand and my dog seemed to take to her right away! During the sit Jess stayed in touch with me sending messages and pictures and i could tell that my dog was calm and happy and relaxed! I am so grateful to Jess for looking after my dog so that I could enjoy the family wedding without fretting about my dog, it couldn’t have worked out any better! I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Jess to look after my dog again and I am so glad that going forward if I ever need to attend anything I will feel confident in leaving my dog with Jess!
Jess was absolutely fantastic with Rocky. From our first meeting he took to her straight away, which is unusual as he can be quite particular about people. She kept me updated throughout with messages and photos, and it was obvious he was happy, relaxed and well cared for. The updates really put my mind at ease while I was away. I came home to a very content Labrador and a house that had been looked after beautifully. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Jess again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and reliable pet sitter.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received. She is incredibly reliable, friendly, and provides a very high standard of loving care. Our dog was clearly comfortable and well cared for at all times. We felt completely confident having her live in our home, knowing everything would be treated with respect and care. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and dedicated - we highly recommend her as both a dog walker and sitter.

Schedule
Pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide reliable and consistent visits throughout the week. I finish work at 4:30pm Monday to Wednesday, so I’m available for evening visits, feeding, and check-ins on those days. On Thursdays, I don’t start work until 11am, which means I’m available for morning visits as well as later in the day. My weekends are completely free, giving me full flexibility for multiple visits, longer stays, or more tailored care depending on your pet’s needs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a house with an enclosed garden, although it’s not very big and there’s no grass. There are many grassy areas and a big field nearby though where I love to take your furry friends on walks! I have two kittens who are still cautious around bigger dogs, but are getting used to them as I do a lot of dog sitting.
A typical day
On a typical day, I like to get up early and take your dog for a walk, before play time and a snuggle on the sofa when they get tired.
