Pet care experience

Attentive, loving, and meticulous

Your next go to cat boarder! I have extensive experience caring for cats and dogs (and birds and fish and turtles!) of all ages, as well as housesitting. I am an experienced foster parent of kittens with a variety of medical needs as well, so I am attuned to keeping an eye on potential and existing health problems. My husband has been helping catsit the past 4 years. Cats are drawn to him— they love his calm energy, and he goes above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable in our home.

Jessica took great care of my cat! My cat made himself right at home at her apartment. I would definitely book again!

Jessica was really wonderful with Mellow. I received daily updates , including pictures , and videos. Jessica and husband clearly made Mellow feel at home. So glad we had a chance to work with them.

Jessica was really helpful and communicative in a tough situation where my cat had trouble settling in.

Clementine loved his 10 day stay with Jessica. Jessica is very responsive and put a lot of effort into her care for Clemmy. We will be back! Thank you!

Jessica and Kasuen took amazing care of Mojo! It was a very last minute booking as I wanted to make sure she was watched over during the heat wave, and I was so grateful for the last-minute help. I was hesitant to board as she had never been out of the house for days before (except at the vet), but everything was smooth and my cat was very happy and well taken care of. I especially appreciated how they sent updates and pictures throughout the trip!

We loved Jessica! She was thoughtful, responsive, and a wonderful caretaker for Suki. We felt like Suki was in great hands while we were away. Thank you, Jessica!

Schedule

I work from home 3-4 days a week, so I would be around most weekdays to keep your pet company! We do not have any pets, so can focus our attention fully on yours.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a car so I could transport to the vet as needed. I am conscious of safety and maintaining a clean, stress-free environment for your pet - as well as cuddles, if they are open to it!

A typical day

I’m happy to do interactive play with energetic kitties, so please bring their favorite toys, though we have some around if you forget. They’re welcome to sleep on the bed if they like. We have extra scratch pads, a small cat tree, and a place they can sleep next to my desk, if they like to be right in the action.

Cats
Takes only 1 client at a time
Jessica can host up to 4 pets per night
I look forward to learning more about your pet from you; aside from the normal feeding and medication schedule, it's great to get your insights into behavioral cues and their routine, so I can try to keep them as happy as possible while you are gone!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
