Hii 🫶🐾 I’m Jess, and I’m so excited you’ve found me! Animals have always been at the center of my world, and what started as a passion has grown into the dream I’m building today — Merrillville’s favorite in-home pet care, Knox’s K9 Castle. Over the years, I’ve turned my love for dogs and cats into a career, creating a safe, welcoming Kingdom where every furbaby is treated like family. I provide a space filled with love, structure, playtime, belly rubs, and plenty of royal affection. My mission has always been to keep pets SAFE, happy, and comfy-cozy while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
She did wonderful with my kitty for 4 days I highly recommend
If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! My dual cat sitting was a last minute emergency and I was super stressed. Jesseeka was phenomenal! She was very friendly, open and reassuring. She took excellent care of both cats (6 and 12 yo males). My worries were needless as Jesseeka sent several photos of my cats enjoying themselves! A rarity for the 6yo who is immensely shy. This was my first experience with a pet sitter and I am extremely happy with the services Jesseeka provided! I will definitely utilize Jesseeka for my cats and my new senior dog when the need arises. I highly recommend Jesseeka for any and all pet sitting needs you may have.
Jesseeka was fantastic! Went overseas for two weeks which is the longest I've ever been away from the pups. Pictures virtually every day and I could see they were being cared for and settled in nicely. Will be using Jesseeka again in the future and I highly recommend her!
Echo had a great stay at Jesseeka’s place. She had a nice compound for the dogs to socialize outside and always send us so many pics which we love. I’d highly recommend her.
I had to book last minute and Jesseeka was very accommodating. Leo loved hanging out with Jesseeka and her family and the other pups! She was responsive and kept me updated❤️
Jesseka took great care of our cat Franklin, and new pup Bejamin. Appreciate you, ma'am! Thank you!

Schedule
Dogs aren’t just my job… they’re my lifestyle. As a devoted dog mom & sitter, I plan my outside life around the pups, because majority of my days are spent at The Castle (MY HOME) creating a safe, loving, and structured environment for all paws.
