Experienced animal caregiver
Pet care experience
I have been lucky to have a plethora of cats, dogs, and other small critters (rodents, snakes, lizards) since I was a little kid. My whole life has been dedicated to the care and love of animals. During high school, I regularly walked dogs and volunteered with cats at the Humane Society. Before college, I worked at a doggy daycare and pet sitting business, and I was lucky to be part of other missions caring for rescued dogs from illegal fighting rings and hoarder situations. Then, during college, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant part time for several years while I finished my degree in Wildlife Ecology. Although my career has taken me away from companion animals, I still am a proud mom to four needy kitties, and a proud aunty to all my family and friend's beloved animals. I am proud to offer fear-free experiences with your animals, especially using positive reinforcement with your dogs. I have extensive experience with special needs pets, including walking reactive or fearful pups, and medicating cats and dogs.
Reviews
Highly recommend & will definitely use Jessica again!
Jessica is amazing. She was great with my elder dogs. She took great care them while I was gone. She was on time for all the checks I asked her to do. Thank you so Jessica ❤️
We appreciate Jessica so much! She takes the best pics and my dogs seem to love her! Can't wait to rebook!
Jessica is the best sitter anyone could ask for!! Our cats were so well loved while we were gone, and I really appreciate how communicative and caring Jessica is 🥰
About Jessica B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Communication with clients and respecting their rules is very important to me! I will make sure to let you know when I am caring for you pets. I also love providing updates from every visit or walk (unless that is too much for you!), since I really appreciate updates and photos from my pet sitters as well.
Information Jessica B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any behavioral and medical needs that your animal has! I'm more than happy to accommodate, whether it's as simple as your dog not liking their ears touched, or requiring special equipment, attention, and routines during walks to help your dog feel confident and safe. Please also let me know if your animal has any allergies, especially food allergies, or if they're on any special diets.
A typical day
I love to make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, mental simulation, love, and whatever else they might need! I'm more than happy to take your dog for a good long walk, play catch with their favorite toy, and engage them in fun activities such as find-it games or training/"tricks" exercises. I work with every family to uniquely meet the needs of their pets.

Availability
I'm currently working as a Wildlife Biologist which includes partially working from home. My schedule is flexible and depends on the season of the research I'm doing, but when I'm home then I'm available to work with your schedule to come feed, walk, and take care of your animals' needs!
