Highlights
Pet care experience
Because Your Pet Deserves the Best
10+ years of experience caring for pets as a lifelong dog and cat owner and several years of casual experience pet sitting. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I grew up with dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m patient, observant, and take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or senior pets, and always focused on making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners, so you can feel confident your pet is in loving hands.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize meeting the needs of the pets while making sure they are comfortable and cared for. For dogs, this includes regular walks, feeding on schedule, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. For cats, I focus on consistent feeding, litter box care, play if desired, and creating a calm, low-stress environment that respects their personality and comfort level. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, energy level, and temperament, and I follow all owner instructions closely, including any medications or special care. I keep safety a top priority, provide updates and photos, and make sure both pets and owners feel at ease while they’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Jessica took great care of my cat and gave her oral medication on time. She really cared about understanding my pets personality so she could tailor her pet sitting approach to my cat’s specific needs. I would absolutely recommend!
Jessica was an excellent pet sitter. She communicated well, the pets were happy and well cared for. Would definitely book again!
Jess is the biggest animal lover! She has cared for my family cat (who is very needy) and catered to his energetic and spunky personality. She is very reliable and capible of following any set of instructions or special request, wether or not that be a feeding scheule, taking medications, or taking care of an active pet that needs more exercise. Jess has lots of experience with many breeds of dogs and cats with many different personalities. You can be at ease knowing she will take care of your pet as her own.
I have 3 dogs and every interaction Jessica has with them exemplifies how much she loves animals. Jessica is the ideal caregiver. She is always on time and is super respectful of my space and my animals. 10/10 would recommend!
Jessica is one of those people animals immediately feel comfortable around. She pays attention to the little things and really takes the time to understand each pet’s personality instead of treating them all the same. She’s dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely enjoys spending time with the pets she cares for. I’d trust her with my own pet without hesitation and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can actually relax with!

- Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medical needs or medications. I also like to understand their personality, energy level, and any fears, triggers, or behavioral quirks so I can provide care that’s comfortable and stress-free. For dogs, I appreciate knowing walking preferences, leash behavior, and any training cues they respond to. For cats, it’s helpful to know their comfort level with people, preferred play style, and litter box routines. I also ask about emergency contacts and vet information so I’m fully prepared.
