Availability

My day job as a zookeeper is animal husbandry. As a result, my calendar availability for house sitting is only Wednesday evening thru Sunday morning since my job the rest of the week, in addition to my own pets, wouldn't allow me to be available regularly during those days. However, I would still be able to do walkings and drop ins Sun-Weds evenings so feel free to message me to see if we can work something out!

If your pet has any special needs or if you have any special requests I'll do whatever I can to help make them feel comfortable.

Pet care experience

*ATTENTION** I will be out of the country until June 17 and may not be able to reply or book anything in a timely manner. I've been a zookeeper for 15 years and a dog and bearded dragon owner most of that time too! I also have experience with salt and freshwater fish. I've cared for farm domestics such as chickens, goats and horses as well. You name it I've probably cared for it!

It’s a shame that ratings only go up to 5 stars, because I would give Jessica so much more than that. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We were in a bit of a pinch as another sitter we had scheduled had to cancel. We looked around and found Jessica and she was awesome from the very beginning. We initially wanted someone to house sit for us as we have 3 different beasts (Dog, Cat, Guinea Pig), but we came to the agreement that our dog Chewy would stay with her, but she would call in everyday and show the other two some love. It was definitely the best decision, as Chewy seemed to have so much fun at Jessica’s playing with her dog Mickey in their fenced backyard. We also received daily updates and pictures of all the beasts activities. Jessica was also so flexible as our flight home got cancelled the morning we were returning from our vacation, so we had to book ourselves on a later one. Jessica was more than happy to look after Chewy for a bit longer. We will definitely be calling on Jessica again when we need a pet sitter. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
