Pet care experience

Hello! It’s a pleasure to meet you, my name is Jess and I’ve been professionally taking care of people's houses and pets since 2008, getting my start with rescue dogs who can't be kenneled. Have experience with a wide variety of species and breeds, not only dogs and cats, but various birds, fish, reptiles, and the occasional farm animal as well. Have done everything from from a single overnight stay to a staying a couple of months, and from low maintenance pets who just want someone around, to elderly cats and dogs that need a constant lap and medication twice a day. As a world traveler, I love giving other people the chance to travel and explore without worrying about what's going on back home, and spending time with animals. Taking adorable photos to share is a great side bonus. :) If I've done everything correctly, you will never have known I was there, other than the fact that when you come home, your pets are mellow, content, and happy to see you.

Jess rocks! She’s helped us out a few times now and is communicative and reliable. She always sends us pics so we know our dogs are in good hands!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets’ safety and comfort levels are priority. Walks are always done on leash, never off leash since I’m not their person. Sticking to their routine as much as possible is also key.

Information Jess T. would like to know about your pet

Would like to know the energy level of your dogs before sitting. I'm best at seniors and rescues, dogs that need a little calm, and a lot more care and attention. If your dog is high energy and needs more than a walk or two a day, I'm not going to be a good fit.

A typical day

Playing fetch and tug of war are always delightful, walks if they're up for it, and snuggles are always great. I make an excellent cushion.

Availability

Since moving from New England, I'm in the process of finding remote work, so I can stay at people's homes and work while they're gone. I tend to be booked 3-6 months in advance, especially for holidays. By the Fourth of July I’m usually booked for Christmas, by Christmas I’m booked for the Fourth. If you’re looking for a last minute petsitter, I’m not always available to accommodate. Please see my calendar on the side for openings, I strive to keep it up to date.
