Pet care experience
I moved to New York from Louisiana to get my Master’s degree in psychology at NYU in 2018. While at home, I lived with German shepherds, golden retrievers, yorkies, poodles, shitzus, and basset hounds. Since being in the city, I’ve sat a wide array of cat and dog breeds both for clients and friends. Big and small, old and young, I have absolutely loved every single dog I’ve ever cared for. Back at home I have 4 dogs, and I also have 3 cats in my apartment (I’m very cat friendly). I am experienced with care for young puppies and kittens, as well as senior animals. I have given medicine to, trained, and kept strict diets for a variety of animals. You won’t find a person more prepared and more loving than me! Every dog is a puppy, no matter how huge. Just looking to do something I love while also making some money on the side!
Reviews
We take our pet's comfortability very seriously; treating him as the sentient being he is, we hired Jessica for a Drop-In Visit before hiring her to House Sit. Judging only off reviews, we felt that Jessica was perfectly responsible for the job, especially since she also loved to send pictures. We discussed our expectations for her stay during our eight-day trip abroad but on the first day, her available hours changed. In one single message to us, Jessica renegotiated the terms to our agreement while we were abroad. We would have NEVER hired her based off this 'new' availability. What happened here was not a miscommunication. On average, our home was left unattended for 22 hours a day and on a Saturday our Cat went a full 24 hours without attendance due to her "visiting friends in Jersey." I would not hire her again and I hope that this review helps others to understand that this woman's priority is to do the very least: take a picture of your pet and leave. We have camera's installed in our house and were witness to the neglect of our cat as she sat on our couch and ate food for the two hours she was in our home each day. Jessica had no intention of doing her job even if it meant taking out her own trash; upon coming home, our apartment reeked of old food/garbage and our cat's litter was not clean. Unfortunately, this entire experience with Jessica was stressful and left us feeling less in control than alternative professional methods for House Sitting. My advice: continue to shop around - Jessica's mood-based work ethic is not worth the risk of hire.
Met to discuss expectations for an 8-day House Sitting job. What was verbally agreed upon was not remembered or adhered to come House Sitting booking. Hired based off reviews but now it’s obvious to us, Jessica is only interested in doing the bare minimum. In this case, keeping our cat alive and our House from burning down. Please see House Sitting review.
I had an excellent experience Jessica. She took great care of coco and had excellent communication.
Follows directions well very sweet my cat seemed to like her

Safety, trust & environment
I do whatever you ask. If you prefer your dog be crated at night or while I’m away, I can do that. If you prefer that your dog be left out, I can do that as well. I am very flexible to your needs!
Information Jessica H. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know if your dog has any dietary, physical, or any other medical limitations in order to care for them in the same way you would!
A typical day
I love dog parks so I would love to find a dog park near your house (or mine) to take your baby to. I also like to play indoors as well as take as many walks as I can afford with my schedule.
