I’ll love them like my own.
Pet care experience
It’s been rough - three rainbow bridge trips in short order. I need more time before I go down that road again, but in the meantime, I will happily love your dog (or cat, or parrot, or lizard, or...?) as if s/he were my own. I have a special fondness for seniors and special needs, but I’m game for anything. And, who doesn’t like puppies and an in-the-prime-of-lifer?? Ornery, shy, suspicious, or complicated personalities happily embraced. I am patient and sensitive to the fact that some animals need lots of closeness and reassurance while others need their space. I’m willing to work to earn their trust and set appropriate boundaries to earn yours. The pet and owner and I will work together to set the terms of our relationship, and I promise to be a most excellent guardian catering to each individual’s needs.
Reviews
Jessica truly understands animals. I appreciated her dedication to my dogs and cat. My cat is quite old and fairly unsocial but he gave “2 paws up” for her. It’s hard to have a new pet sitter but Jessica put me at ease and was quick to communicate, gracious and left my house spotless.
Jess is amazing. She's very friendly, caring, and funny. Our pup took to her immediately. She did a great job caring for our home and pets. She communicated often and we felt at ease our whole trip.
Can’t say enough good things! Jessica was wonderful and took such good care of our pups. The best!
I was floored by how attentive and engaged Jessica was with our two elderly kitties. She took extra time to earn their trust, and after a week in her care they were utterly devoted. One of the two particularly suffers when I’m absent for extended periods, and she took extra care with him. Her daily updates were informative and gave me clear indication of whether she was concerned/ not concerned for the small issues that cropped up (furballs and etc). She has my highest recommendation!

Safety, trust & environment
I try to keep my presence low profile while I’m there. I appreciate the trust that comes with visiting in someone else’s home. When you come home, it’s nice for everyone if you can barely tell I was there.
Information Jessica C. would like to know about your pet
I genuinely adore all critters, but I’m especially fond of big dogs and those with special needs. Drool is fine, a complicated med schedule will be followed (but you MUST put it in writing!), and I’m not squeamish when it comes to diapers and messes (please don’t forget to show me where you keep the cleaning supplies). All you can do is shrug and remember it’s just a normal part of life and as the t-shirts remind us, it happens.
A typical day
I will go and do wherever you and they prefer - backyard ball-throwing, neighborhood walk-and-sniffs, people parks with trails, off-leash dog parks, or... you guys tell me the agenda, and I’ll make it happen.

Availability
My most consistent regular obligation is a daily trip to the barn to take care of my horse, but if needed, I have alternate coverage.
