Pet care fits into my week really naturally—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for because being around animals just makes life better. Whether it’s starting the day with a walk or popping in for a cuddle and check-in, I love having those moments built into my routine. It’s a lovely balance to everything else going on in life, and it keeps me grounded. I’m flexible with timing and always happy to work around what each dog or pet needs.

Information Jessica H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything else I should know about. - Do they get along with other dogs? - How are they around kids? - Are they okay being off leash? - Any allergies?

A typical day

It really depends on the pet and what they’re into! Some love a good runaround and playtime, others are all about slow walks and lots of cuddles—and I’m here for all of it. I try to match their energy and keep things fun, whether that’s playing their favourite game, exploring new walking routes, or just chilling out together. Whatever makes them happy and relaxed, I’m all in.

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Growing up, my family adopted three dogs, all of whom I helped train and care for. Over the years, I've also looked after the dogs of neighbours, friends, and colleagues—whether for walks, weekend sits, or just some extra company and care. Now that I’m living far from home, I really miss being around dogs, but I’m not in a position to have one of my own just yet. That’s why I love dog walking and pet sitting—it gives me the chance to spend time with dogs and give them the love and attention they deserve. I’m an experienced dog walker and have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I’m confident, calm, and always happy to tailor care to each dog’s unique needs and personality.

Jessica and her partner always take great care of Louie. They spoiled him taking him on two big walks on his birthday :)

Jessica was awesome with our high strung high energy springer spaniel. 2 walks and can tell Isla was well looked after. Will definitely use again. Thanks Jessica!

Jessica takes such good care of Louie and he just adores her. Today he dug in his heels and didn’t want to leave!
