Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pup’s home away from home 🏡🐾
✨Experienced, loving care & peace of mind✨ I’ve been around and cared for dogs for most of my life, including raising three puppies of my own from the puppy stage up. I have hands-on experience with crate training, potty training, basic commands, leash skills, routines, enrichment, and navigating all of the wonderfully chaotic stages of puppyhood! I currently have a 10-month-old chocolate Lab, so I’m very familiar with energetic young dogs and the patience, consistency, exercise, and attention they need. I’ve also regularly cared for dogs for friends and family and have spent a lot of time learning about canine behavior, body language, training, and positive reinforcement. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their people are away. Whether your pup wants to play, explore, snuggle on the couch, or follow me around the house all day, they’ll be treated like part of the family here. 🐶💛

Ratings and reviews
Jessica is always my go to when I go out of town! I never have to worry about my pets with her, she follows detailed instructions well and gives my 4 pets all the attention! When I come home they are excited to see me but not desperate, they are calm and well treated. I have come back from trips before with anyone else and have seen the difference! Jessica really spends time with them and makes sure they all get individual attention as well as all their different dietary needs. I have special needs pets and it's hard for me to trust just anyone with them. I definitely highly recommend her for any pet sitting need!
I have two large dogs and it can be difficult to trust people to come watch them when we are away. Jess was so wonderful with them and took the time to play with them and wear them out. She is an animal lover and very reliable. I highly recommend Jessica!
Jess is amazing with Remy and Chloe! I’ve always felt completely comfortable leaving them with her, whether it was for walks or pet sitting, and she’s just really good with dogs. She taught both Remy and Chloe “Leave it” and “Wait,” which we still use with them all the time. And then there’s Remy. He is a GREAT dog, but an absolute freak on a leash. He has always been an incessant puller and barks like crazy at other dogs. Jess recommended a harness/leash combination that has worked WONDERS for him and has made walking him so much easier. I was so sad when Jess moved away because I would absolutely still be using her for Remy and Chloe if she were here. Our loss is Asheville’s gain! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable who really knows dogs and knows what she’s doing with them.
Jess is the absolute best! Our English Bulldog, Cali, gets so excited to visit that her front paws barely touch the ground when we pull up—she knows she’s heading to her favorite vacation spot to be spoiled. Because Cali has lots of wrinkles, she requires meticulous care, and Jess never misses a beat with keeping her folds clean and applying all of her daily ointments. Jess treats our sweet girl like her own family, and we couldn't ask for a more responsible, loving, or trustworthy caregiver. Highly recommended!

Schedule
I work part-time, and between my schedule and my husband’s, someone is almost always home! Our schedules complement each other really well, which means your pup gets plenty of company, attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and enrichment throughout the day rather than spending long stretches alone. We already structure our days around our own young Lab, so having dogs as part of our daily rhythm comes very naturally to us. On our days off, we love spending time outside, taking walks, exploring local trails, or just having a cozy day at home. No matter what, your pup gets to be part of the family while they’re here. 🐾
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home is a relaxed, dog-loving environment where we want your pup to feel like part of the family. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac in a safe, very walkable neighborhood with a large yard. While our yard is not currently fenced, dogs are always supervised and leashed outdoors, and I’m very comfortable with leash walking and safely managing dogs outside. We have a young, friendly Lab who loves other dogs and four dog-savvy cats who are accustomed to sharing their home with a pup. Our home is also thoroughly puppy and toddler-proofed, and everyone in our household understands the importance of respecting a dog’s space, body language, boundaries, and individual personality. I’m big on maintaining consistency between your home and ours. If your dog is crate trained or currently learning we’re happy to continue their normal routine. The same goes for potty training, basic commands, feeding schedules, special diets, and any house rules you’re working on. Dogs can be fed separately to ensure everyone eats their own food, and we have an extra crate available or are happy to use your dog’s own crate if that makes them more comfortable. I love providing enrichment beyond simply letting dogs hang out! Depending on your pup, that might include sniff walks, Kongs, lick mats, snuffle mats, sprinkler or kiddie-pool play in the yard, fetch, or supervised creek adventures. With your permission, well-suited pups can also join us for dog-friendly walking trails or an occasional brewery outing. If your dog is happiest staying close to home, we’re just as happy to keep their world quiet and familiar.
