Big love for the fur babies!
Pet care experience
I used to babysit the children of two veterinarians, so I was able to learn a great deal of animal care at a young age. I have volunteered at the local animal shelter since 2014. While I was a teacher, I used to take students twice a week after school to volunteer. I occasionally foster for the local shelters, especially in special cases when pets needed medicine or to be bottle fed. I am the person friends and family call when they have questions about their pets and/or they need someone to watch them.
Reviews
Jessica is an awesome sitter! She not only took great care of our dogs, she also cared for our home while we were away. I loved her detailed messages and pics of our pups. She is very trustworthy and highly recommended.
Repeat customer here- love when Jessica watches the pups! I always know they are well taken care of.
Jessica was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond with her pictures and updates and I absolutely love her humor! There wasnt a single update that didnt make me laugh out loud. I felt like she fell in love with our old man the second she started her visits and really enjoyed hanging out with him. She was on time for every visit and administered his insulin twice a day flawlessly. She will definitely be my go to from now on!
Our sweet, senior pup isn't able to travel with us anymore due to his age. He's thirteen and our first baby, and it's been hard finding a pet sitter we trust completely to love him and give him what he needs while we're gone. Jessica was a true gift with her drop in visits. She was patient, gave him lots of snuggles, made sure he had his meds, and gave us detailed updates. For me, as the owner, she never made me feel silly in my anxiety or explanations. She reassured me that she understood how special our old boy was to us and that she'd take great care of him. I 100% recommend her services.

I am someone that has a huge soft spot for the fur babies. I have created the spoiling habits with my babies, so I am diligent about adhering to other people's ways and habits with their babies. I lost my 16 year old rat terrier a year ago. She dealt with lots of anxiety, especially when I was not around, so I try to give the babies extra love knowing they probably feel off without their humans. Also, my Lucy developed canine dementia the last 9 months of her life. I have a great amount of patience and compassion for the aging babies.
Information Jessica C. would like to know about your pet
Are there walking areas that are favorites or anxiety causing? Best ways to sooth anxiety? Allergies? Medical history? Medications, and best means of administering? Places they are allowed/not allowed in the home or on walks? Emergency contacts if you cannot be reached.
A typical day
Mental and physical activities are important for our pets. Walks/jogs are great, especially if they take place in new areas allowing dogs to experience new smells. I also think it’s important to allow dogs to run and play off the leash—fenced-in yards, dog parks, etc. Cognitive games are good for them as well. Not all clients have cognitive toys, but they are easy enough to make with small containers, cups, blankets, etc. Cuddles are HIGHLY important, especially if the owners are out of town (lovin’ with be given extra!).
