Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!

Information Jessica E. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any specific needs that I should know about. This will help set me up for success in being prepared and giving your fur babes the best care possible.

A typical day

Every animal is different, so it truly does depend on the animal type and age. In addition, I do find it important for animals to be engaged and paid attention to. Your fur babes are your family, so let's treat them as such :)

Pet care experience

I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you!

Jessica was amazing with our anxious and high energy dog! Very clear communication and asked questions when needed. Definitely will be booking her for our next trip.

I can’t recommend Jessica enough! She took amazing care of my puppy and two kitties over the weekend. My puppy can be a bit of a handful with his energy, but Jessica was so patient and clearly gave him lots of love, attention, and playtime. Her communication was excellent the entire time. I received regular updates, photos, and sweet little stories that really reassured me that everyone was doing great. It made being away so much easier knowing they were in such good hands. I’m so thankful to have found someone I trust with my fur babies. I’ll definitely be booking with Jessica again!

Jess is an excellent communicator and an ideal dog sitter! She stayed over and sent great pictures, and kept the dogs happy the whole time we were away!!
