Availability

I work full-time as a therapist and am also a mom to an 8 month old, but I have a flexible schedule and am able to make pet care work with proper planning. I am available for visits before and after my work hours, as well as on certain weekdays and weekends depending on the week. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain a reliable routine and communicate clearly about availability. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure your pet’s needs are fully covered and that they receive consistent, attentive care while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for your space. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure your pet feels as comfortable and secure as possible while you’re away. I aim to keep their normal routine consistent, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I am mindful of keeping doors secured, following safety instructions carefully, and ensuring pets are always supervised during visits. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is always to create a safe, low stress experience for both pets and their owners.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m a true animal lover, and I especially have a soft spot for cats! I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, as well as cats, through both professional pet care and private pet-sitting. Over the years, I’ve built lasting relationships with many families who trusted me to care for their pets whenever they traveled. My services include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, enrichment, administering basic care, lots of love and attention, and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. If requested, I’m also happy to help with light home care, such as bringing in the mail, watering plants, and tidying up before you return. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable, compassionate care so both you and your furry family members feel comfortable and confident while you’re apart. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Please contact me for more details!

Jessica is a wonderful, caring person who I know will treat your pet as if they were her own. She will be patient with your babies and go the extra step to ensure they are happy while their family is away. The kind of person I would want watching my babies.

I’ve know Jessica for 20+ years and she’s always been very caring and extremely passionate about animals! She is super responsible and always looks after my babies when I’m away. I definitely recommend her for the job :)
