Highlights
Pet care experience
active, sports-loving animal lover
What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and needs. I’ve personally cared for my own pets over the years, including administering medication, helping with recovery after surgery, and making sure they feel calm and comforted no matter what. I’m active and attentive, so whether your pet is full of energy or needs a gentler touch, I’ll give them the personalized care they deserve. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority!

Safety, trust & environment
I typically care for pets in my clients’ homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I know how important it is for pets to stick to their normal routines, so I make sure to follow feeding, walking, and play schedules just as instructed. I treat each home with the same respect and care I would my own—being mindful of privacy, keeping things tidy, and always prioritizing the safety and well-being of your pet. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or a stroll around the block, I’m there to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away.
Ratings and reviews
Jessica is wonderful with our animals, and sends us photos of them...even our horses. She is kind and we appreciate finding her so much.
Jessica was fantastic with our dogs and house sitting. She played with our Aussies and our cat. We are happily having her again in July.
Jessica was great, organizing a complex schedule. Both dogs were openly affectionate and enthusiastic about being with her. We’ll have her back in a heartbeat!
My dog Rex is usually anxious and timid, but he warmed up to Jess right away and was so calm around her. Highly recommend her services I felt that she genuinely cared and kept my pet safe and happy.
Jessica was great, warm energy and my dog Mango loves her. She took to her right away. Will def book with Jessica again when I’m in a pinch.
Jessica is a gem! She’s basically my dog’s emotional support human now—and honestly, I get it. Her energy is that good. She watched my dog Remy and house-sat for me in Montecito, and from the moment she walked in, Remy (who usually treats new people like suspicious squirrels up to no good) was obsessed. That never happens. It usually takes a few visits for Remy to warm up—she’s a rescue with some trust issues—but with Jessica? Instant love. And that gives me so much peace knowing my fur baby is getting the absolute best pet care while I’m away. Not only is Jessica reliable and trustworthy, but she left my house looking better than when I left it. 11/10 would trust her with my dog, my home, and even my house plants—which is saying something, because I’ve officially banned my own mother from touching my plants after she gave my pothos a tragic haircut. Jessica is my go-to pet sitter anytime I’m away, and I’ve happily referred her to friends and neighbors.

Schedule
As a teacher, I have a structured schedule that gives me the flexibility to provide care before or after school hours. I love starting or ending my day with a peaceful walk, whether it’s through a neighborhood or out in nature—it's even better with a furry friend by my side! I’m also completely free on weekends, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine and truly brings me joy.

- It’s super important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, personality, and any specific needs they might have. I always ask about things like feeding schedules, medication, allergies, energy levels, and how they do around other animals or people. Knowing what makes your pet feel safe, happy, and comfortable helps me give them the best care possible. The more I know, the better I can tailor my time with them to feel just like home.
