Safety, trust & environment

You can trust me to keep your babies safe! I would always have dogs on a leash while outdoors or in a fenced yard, if you have one.

Information Jessica D. would like to know about your pet

Pets have needs, just like the rest of us! I've worked in a vet clinic for over five years and in pet care before that, so I'm used to giving meds to all kinds of critters.

A typical day

I love letting your pets do whatever they want (within reason) and seeing their personalities, likes, and dislikes shine through! Your bunny loves her daily head scratchies? Your dog loves a nice long walk? Consider it done!

We had Jessica watch our dog for a long weekend in our home. She was great with updates and pictures. The house was as we left it. We will definitely be using her again!

Jessica was absolutely fantastic while caring for our dog, Bella, during our trip to New York City. From the moment we met her, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves animals, and that care and compassion showed throughout Bella's entire stay. We received updates that gave us peace of mind, and it was clear Bella was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What really impressed us was the extra level of care Jessica provided around our home. Not only did she leave everything spotless, but I honestly think the house was cleaner than when we left. She even started the laundry for the bedsheets she used before leaving—something we never expected and certainly didn't ask her to do. Those thoughtful touches speak volumes about her character and professionalism. We would not hesitate to book Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after their pets. Bella was in excellent hands!
