Hii 🫶🐾 I’m Jess, and I’m so excited you’ve found me!

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
Our dog had a great time for a week, everything went really smooth and the feedback daily and pictures daily was amazing to settle our nerves. Would definitely use again amazing experience
Omg loved her! She was awesome. She kept me updated daily with pictures and my cat’s activities. I will use her again!!! I was scared to leave my cat’s with a stranger but she made it so comfortable.
Jesseeka is is always great at communicating and sharing photos of your dog. Always great to send our dog Echo here.
Echo is always happy to go stay with Jesseeka and we love it too as we get photos daily.
5 Stars across the board!!! Jesseeka gave us a great experience. Harvey is a large breed, and it’s not always easy finding someone who’s comfortable and confident caring for bigger dogs, but she was amazing with him. Harvey was well cared for and treated like part of the family during his weekend stay. I loved receiving updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Harvey had a great time, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend Jesseeka to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter! Thank you for making us feel comfortable while we were away :)
Jess was super helpful!! She was so communicative and put out minds at ease. This was our first time using rover and she made it such an enjoyable experience. Jess was very accommodating and worked with us and all our needs. She is very knowledgeable with dogs. Would 100% recommend to anyone.

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.

A typical day
Your dogs day will be full of structure, enrichment, and plenty of love. Mornings begin with snuggles and potty breaks, followed by supervised play, mental stimulation, and relaxing rest time throughout the day. Each pup is cared for based on their personality and energy level, enjoying social play, one-on-one affection, walks, and gentle training reinforcement — all in a safe, calm environment.
