Information Jessica F. would like to know about your pet

Before your pup's stay, I'd love to know a little about them so I can make sure they feel comfortable and safe! A few things that really help me: - Any allergies, medications, or dietary restrictions - Their energy level and favorite activities - How they do around other dogs, kids, or strangers - Any triggers or things that make them anxious (loud noises, etc) - Their daily routine like feeding times, potty schedule, nap habits - Any commands or rules they're used to at home Every dog is unique, and the more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor their care and make their stay feel just like home!

A typical day

I love making sure every pup has a blast while in my care! Depending on their energy level and personality, we'll go on neighborhood walks or longer adventures, play fetch, or have outdoor playtime. I'm also happy to work on basic commands and tricks to keep their minds stimulated. On cozier days, we'll cuddle up and watch TV or enjoy some calm enrichment activities like sniff walks or puzzle toys. Every dog is different, so I always tailor the fun to what makes them happiest, whether that's an action packed day or a relaxed hangout!

I love dogs & want to care for them

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of a wide range of dogs from toy poodles to shih-tzus to huskies. I am able to walk, feed, pick up after them, and bathe them.

Jessica was amazing. She kept in touch with me throughout my trip. She took great care of Bray and Xena, and was very helpful in taking care of the house and some packages I had delivered that required special handling. The house was impeccable when I got home. I couldn’t recommend Jessica more to take care of your home and your precious four legged children!

Jessica house sat for 12 nights. She was very responsive, attentive, and kept the house clean. Mimi was well taken care of and happy. As an extra bonus, she was reliable and helpful in dealing with a few issues with the washing machine. Highly recommend!

Jessica was great! She sent a bunch of pictures and even gave Parker a new toy, that he’s quickly become obsessed with. Thanks for taking such good care of my boy!

Jessica did a perfect job. She was prompt in communicating about scheduling, right on time for pick up and drop off, and friendly and kind—easy to work with. She’s everything you hope for when trying to find someone to trust to care for your pup. I definitely recommend!! I certainly plan to reach out to her again soon.
