Pet care experience

24-hour, around-the-clock care. My personable in-house services are perfect for pets with special needs or separation anxiety, seniors or puppies, or anyone nervous about leaving their fur babies. I have over 20 years of experience with dogs, cats, birds, and critters of all sizes. Pets are part of the family, and there will be no question from you that they have received exceptional care while you are away. I realize my prices are higher than the average, but I can guarantee it comes with your peace of mind. ✓ Have had regular pet-sitting families for 10+ years. After moving from Iowa, I have decided to start rebuilding my pet family in Southern, IL. ✓ Responsible and trustworthy ✓ Experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments ✓ Comfortable administering medicine and IVs ✓ Can provide your pets with around-the-clock care ✓ Will keep your pet as close to their normal routine as possible. After pet sitting as my job through college, I decided I loved it so much that I never quit. Now, more than a decade later, I still have that same joy in giving families the peace of mind that their furry family members, and homes, are well cared for while they are gone.

Jessica was great to work with! She responded quickly to my request and promptly set up a meet and greet. She asked so many questions and wanted to understand my dogs, their schedule, and what I needed. She was kind to both me and my dogs upon meeting. During her stay with my dogs, she was very communicative! She let me know when she arrived and left, along with multiple updates on how my dogs were doing. I appreciated how she tried to keep their routine as similar to normal as possible. I know it helped them and me as well. I loved getting all the daily updates and pictures from her! She was really a great house sitter for my dogs and I would recommend her!

Jess was wonderful with our dogs! We have a dog with special needs and felt very comfortable leaving him with her while we were out of town. She stayed in touch and sent pictures every day. Will definitely book again!

Jessica was the most attentive and professional sitter. She followed all instructions with feeding and medication exactly how it needed to be done. One of the most important things I noticed is that when I returned home from my trip, my dogs and rabbits were all calm and not stressed in any way. That showed me that she cared for them as if they were her own. This was her first stay and the communication was exceptional. We will definitely book with Jessica again in the future. We would highly recommend her for anyone who wants the best care for their pets.

Jessica is professional, sweet, and absolutely loves animals! I enlisted her to house/pup sit for almost a week and she was PHENOMENAL!!! She is trustworthy, takes notes, and will call with any questions. It is the first time I’ve ever felt so safe with being away from my pups. We now consider her part of our family!!
