Availability

I focus on giving your dog their own vacation while you’re away whether it’s structured play, games, snuggles on the couch or belly rubs. I have professionally trained and cared for dogs so I’m able to give your pet all of the care + attention they need 24/7. Having worked in animals shelters for 10+ years I have various experience with different breeds/temperaments, senior/disabled dogs with special needs, training, and medication administration.

Jessica is a great dog sitter for our senior pup. She sent lots of pix and followed all his daily needs. She is a great listener which is key. She is a natural with dogs and I’ve already booked her for a longer stay.

As soon as Max saw Jessica he rolled onto his back for belly rubs, that’s how much he loves and trusts her. Best dog sitter ever!!
