Pet care experience

Mom's Got It: Trusted Pet Sitting

I’m an animal lover at heart, with over 25 years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I was the eldest daughter who gifted my mom a bunny for her birthday (not sure how the pet store sold it to a child), took home orphaned kittens from a farm and bottle-fed them in my bathroom, and helped a working cousin with their dog after school in grade school, all igniting my lifelong passion for animals. From dogs and cats to rabbits and birds, I’ve nurtured and cared for them all. My extensive experience ensures your pets will be in loving and capable hands.

Ranger always comes home happy and tired from all the play time he gets at Jessalyn’s. He loves going to her home.

Jessalyn sent several messages and pictures with updates how our dog was doing. She was great to work with, and our pup had a great time with her.

Jessalyn did an awesome job taking care of my golden retriever, Lulu, and JJ. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure they were happy and well cared for. I really appreciated the daily updates—it gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely book her again!

We have loved sending our boys to stay with Jessalyn! I cannot say anything bad about her. She made my dogs feel like her own which helped my little dog mom heart while we’ve been away! She’s taken them in on holidays which I know is so hard for people. We are so grateful for her and her communication! She send pics often, and keeps us in the loop. Literally book with her for everything. She’s the best!!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jessalyn kept in touch and sent cute pictures. It's not very often I leave them, but would def use her again.

Schedule

Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily lives. As a stay-at-home mom my schedule is often very flexible, allowing me to adapt to the pet's needs as they arise. It’s also ties in great with the things I like to do with my children, go for walks, play outside, and plenty of cuddles.

Safety, trust & environment

At our home, we offer a safe and fun environment for pets. We have a fabulous neighborhood with a 1/3 acre vinyl fenced-in yard, perfect for playtime and exercise. I make sure the pets are fed, walked, and entertained. If we're caring for pets in your home, we follow your routine and instructions to make them feel comfortable and loved. Whether at our place or yours, we provide dedicated and attentive care.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day of pet sitting with a dog and my four kids is always filled with fun and excitement! The morning starts with a lively walk where the dog enjoys plenty of sniffing, followed by breakfast. Later, we incorporate mental stimulation games like treat-hiding and "hide and seek" to keep the dog’s mind sharp and the play fetch in the backyard. In the afternoon, we explore new paths on another walk, allowing the dog to indulge in a variety of scents. Evenings are for relaxation and bonding, with storytime snuggles and gentle brushing, ensuring our furry friend ends the day content and ready for a good night's sleep.
