Pet care experience
Being a parent to a child or fur baby is the greatest life lesson. Being a single mom to an amazing 11-year-old daughter has been a humbling, challenging, and ultimately the most rewarding experience of my life. There is no way to really explain what it’s like to exist for another living being––loving and caring for them more than yourself. I have always grown up with animals, and I want my daughter to experience not only being around animals, but learn how to care for them. I hope to show her compassion, responsibility, loyalty, kindness, and unconditional love. When I was a young girl, I volunteered at Petsmart because I really loved surrounding myself with dogs and helped walk those awaiting adoption. My daughter and I currently volunteer at Wags & Walks in West LA. My family had Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and Huskies growing up. I am very comfortable with all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am optimistic and exude positive energy, and I think that’s why animals always take to me. My other passion is fitness and I like to get outside as much as possible! It would be great if your pup could come along on long walks, hikes, and runs around the neighborhood if they’re physically compatible. Otherwise, I am happy to adapt my activities according to their capabilities. I love exercise, but I do find balance, and love to relax and take it easy. I train and compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing––so I am very disciplined and active. My daughter also trains and is in the entertainment industry. She has weekly voice and piano lessons, but otherwise, I have a very flexible schedule as a dog walker and sitter. She is an amazing 11 year-old daughter who has a huge heart for animals and her mature ambitions keep me on my toes. Because of her, we have rescued birds, a rat she found on one of our walks, a baby squirrel, and an injured possum, as well as volunteer at a dog rescue. She gives each dog we walk plenty of love, attention, and extra doses of play time. I am very attentive to each dog and show affection and compassion freely, and am very patient to those more timid and shy. I am detail-oriented individual, and no task involving your beloved pet will be too small. It really brings me so much joy and fulfillment offering myself to your dog while you are away. Bringing you peace of mind is my utmost priority.
Reviews
Jessica and her sweet daughter were awesome taking care of my 2 dogs and my house while I was away for a week. I have left my dogs with family only in the past so I was a bit nervous about leaving them at first. UNTIL I met Jessica and Kalea and immediately my concerns vanished. They are naturals! Very personal, professional, reliable, responsible, the whole package. They could not have made me feel any better about being away with the daily "happy" pics and communication. I was more than satisfied with them being in my home and will definitely book them again. I feel very lucky to have had such a great experience. Max and Ella loved them both. Thank you Jess and Kalea!
What can I say?! Jessica is absolutely the best. She’s incredibly responsive and responsible and always goes the extra mile! Phoebe loves her..I feel really fortunate.
Jessica is so excellent in every way! I feel really fortunate to have her as Phoebe’s person when I can’t be there!
I cannot say enough good things about Jessica! Zia adors her and her daughter. Every picture they send Zia is having the best time. She was able to help us out when we had last minute work dinners and we were able to go out and enjoy ourselves knowing Zia was in great hands!

Information Jessica C. would like to know about your pet
A meet and greet in your home will be best so your pup feels comfortable. This is a great way to meet in person to discuss any and all details regarding your pet’s care. I’ll want to know everything from diet, medications, schedules, routines, triggers, favorite toys, how they like to be pet, how social they are with children and other animals, etc. The more I know, the more I can ensure the best possible service. I really value getting to know each pup on his or her own level and I will adapt our level of activity based on each dog’s needs. I also believe that open communication and accessibility are essential to making sure your dog is getting the best care. Please feel free to contact me day or night with any concerns or questions, or simply just to say hello. I will update you daily with texts and photos. As a single mom, I know the anxiety of leaving your baby with a stranger.
A typical day
I currently live in an apartment in Mar Vista. I am happy to visit dog parks, hit the beach, and find amazing hiking trails. Whatever your dog’s routine, I’m happy to follow all instructions. Again, I love staying active and getting outdoors, but nothing makes me more happy than cuddling up on the couch with a happy pup and my daughter watching movies together.
