Highlights
Pet care experience
Rescue Volunteer & Walker
I've been around cats and dogs my entire life and have cared for pets for as long as I can remember. About 10 years ago, I worked as a professional dog walker, and I currently volunteer with Chicago Pet Rescue. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, from energetic and playful to shy or senior pets. I provide dependable, compassionate care and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, or simply providing companionship, my goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client's home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, and routines. I understand that every pet is unique and do my best to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide updates and photos when appropriate so owners can feel confident that their pets are receiving attentive, loving care.
Ratings and reviews
Jessica is a true animal lover and competent caregiver. She’s always so kind with our young dog and wonderful with her own pets. I trust her completely. It’s such a good feeling knowing that our dog is in such good hands. Jessica is an excellent communicator, flexible and thoughtful. You can’t go wrong with Jessica!
I am happy to write this testimonial for Jessica. She has cared for my four cats on multiple occasions while I was out of town, and I have always been extremely impressed with the level of care, responsibility, and attention she provides. Jessica is very dependable and takes pet safety seriously. With four cats, one of my biggest concerns is making sure no one accidentally slips out the door. Jessica was always extremely cautious when entering and leaving my home and made sure all of my cats remained safe and secure at all times. Beyond meeting their basic needs, Jessica truly cares about the animals she watches. She made sure my cats were fed on schedule, had fresh water, and received plenty of attention and affection. My cats quickly became comfortable with her and genuinely enjoy spending time with her. She took the time to cuddle with them, play with them, and make them feel loved while I was away. Knowing that Jessica was caring for my cats gave me complete peace of mind during my trips. I returned home to happy, well-cared-for pets every time. I would not hesitate to trust her with my animals again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and compassionate pet sitter.
