I’m able to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and check-ins, so your pets will never feel neglected or rushed. Whether it’s weekday drop-ins, weekend stays, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their own home, I always do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, playtime routines, or medication needs, so your pets feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with regular check-ins and photo updates for you. I also keep your home tidy and treat it with the same respect I’d want for my own space.

Information Jessica A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any specific needs that I need to take care of while I am watching them so I can provide the best possible care for them.

A typical day

I love keeping cats entertained and happy while their humans are away! Depending on their personality, I’ll play interactive games with wand toys, laser pointers, or balls to keep them active and stimulated. I also enjoy quiet cuddle time for cats who prefer affection over play, and I can provide puzzle feeders or treat games to challenge their minds.

Energetic & Enthusiastic Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, having grown up on a farm with both dogs and cats! Caring for pets has always been second nature to me, and I’ve gained years of hands-on experience keeping animals safe, comfortable, and happy in all kinds of environments. Whether it’s daily walks, feedings, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. At home, I have two wonderful cats (Kitty, a 7-year-old tabby, and Mew, a 3-year-old giant orange floof) who remind me every day how rewarding it is to build trust and affection with animals. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention to detail that I give to mine.

Jessica was an amazing cat sitter for my recent week long vacation! My cat is generally shy around new guests but immediately wanted pets from Jessica. She has great communication skills and replied to my messages very quickly, which I value. Her visits were always within the agreed upon timeframe, which helped me fully relax and enjoy my vacation. She provided detailed updates with lots of photos. I trust her and plan to book with her next time I'm away.

Jessica was FANTASTIC! She was so communicative and flexible. As an anxious pet parent, I really appreciated the detail she provides for every single check in. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter!
