Pet care experience

Full-Time Sitter, Trainer & Runner

Hi there! I’m a full-time sitter and a proud dog parent who has completed four rounds of behavioral training classes with my own pups. This hands-on experience has helped me deeply understand canine body language, temperament, and what each dog needs to feel safe and confident. As a dedicated runner and 10k race participant, I love giving high-energy dogs the exercise they crave. Whether your pup prefers a brisk walk or an energizing run, I tailor each outing to their personality and physical needs—so they come home happy, relaxed, and fulfilled. Your dog isn’t “just a booking” to me—they’re a member of the family. I pay attention to the small things: their comfort level, pacing, favorite activities, and any signs of stress or excitement. My goal is to make every dog feel understood, cared for, and truly at ease.

Ziggy had an overnight stay with Jessica. Jessica was prompt to respond from the initial booking to picking Ziggy up the next day. She made sure Ziggy was very comfortable -- taking him on walks, providing a comfy bed, and loaning him food/water bowls. From the photo she sent, and how tired but happy he was the next day, I could definitely tell Ziggy had a wonderful stay and would 100% recommend Jessica to anyone!!

Dude, let me tell you about Jessica's pet-sitting skills—they're legit! When I had to jet off for a weekend, Jessica stepped in to watch my furball. Not only did they keep 'em fed and happy, but they also sent me hilarious pics of their adventures together. Can't thank Jessica enough!

Whenever I entrust my furry friend to Jessica's care, I know they're in the best hands possible. Jessica doesn't just feed and walk pets; they shower them with love, attention, and belly rubs. It's heartwarming to see how she treats every pet like a member of their own family.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because this is what I do full-time. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extra playtime. Because I’m not juggling another job, I can be flexible with timing and make sure your pup gets the attention, exercise, and breaks they need—exactly when they need it. Morning runs ✔️ Midday walks ✔️ Evening check-ins ✔️ Lots of cuddles ✔️ Your dog’s routine becomes my routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety is my highest priority. With my behavioral training background, I know how to introduce myself calmly, monitor a dog’s comfort level, and handle energetic or shy pups safely. Whether I’m caring for your dog in your home or during a drop-in: • I maintain a calm, positive environment so your pup feels secure. • I closely follow your feeding, walking, and medication instructions. • I keep water fresh, tummies full, and hearts happy. • I share real-time updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. • I treat your home with the same respect I treat your pet with care and attentiveness. During each visit, your dog gets more than just the basics. They get playtime, enrichment, snuggles, and personalized care. My goal is always the same: a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is calm, structured, and focused on your dog’s well-being. We’ll go for a walk or run that matches their energy level, explore the neighborhood, and enjoy some playtime with their favorite toys. I also include a bit of mental stimulation and quiet downtime as needed, ensuring your pup feels happy, relaxed, and well cared for.
