Highlights
Pet care experience
All Creatures Welcome! 🐶🐱🐍🐣🐢🐠
Hi! I’m an experienced and passionate animal caregiver who grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds. I’ve raised my two small senior dogs (now 11 and 13) since they were puppies, and currently care for a small menagerie — including two turtles, two frogs, a snake, and a cat. I also frequently take care of my roommate’s high-energy German Shepherd, so I’m comfortable with large breeds and a wide range of personalities. My lifelong experience with animals has taught me how to handle pets of all ages, temperaments, and species with patience, confidence, and love. Whether you need someone for drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I’ll treat your pet like part of the family and make sure they’re safe, happy, and well-cared-for while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet’s home like my own—respectfully, responsibly, and with great attention to detail. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable, whether that means feeding at a specific time, going on familiar walking routes, or keeping up with medication and playtime. I always make sure your pet feels loved and cared for, and I keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re in good hands.
Ratings and reviews
Jessica is an incredible pet caregiver with a heart of gold. She treats every animal like they’re her own, giving them so much love, attention, and patience. My dog is anxious and can be a little nervous when I’m away, but Jessica knows exactly how to comfort and care for her. She takes the time to understand her needs and goes out of her way to make her feel safe and secure. What truly sets her apart is her amazing communication—she sends regular updates, photos, and thoughtful messages that ease my worries and let me know my pup is in the best hands. Jessica is not only responsible and trustworthy, but also deeply compassionate. I can’t recommend her enough!
We are so grateful for Jess. From the moment Nova ourGerman Shepherd met her, her tail was wagging like crazy! She treated her like royalty and kept us updated with the most adorable photos that seriously made our day! It’s clear Jess genuinely loves dogs and went above and beyond to make sure Nova was happy, safe, and totally spoiled. She came home so tired and content. 10/10 recommend!!!
I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our dog received from Jessica! From the very first meeting, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and are extremely responsible. They took the time to get to know our dog’s personality, quirks, and needs, and always gave us detailed updates after each walk. Our dog came back happy, well-exercised, and clearly bonded with Jess, which gave us such peace of mind. They were always punctual, communicative, and flexible with scheduling. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pet, but Jess made it effortless. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker!

Schedule
As a remote MD graduate student at USF, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I’m grateful that my lifestyle allows me to be present, dependable, and fully engaged with every pet I look after.
