Pet care experience

Dog hair everywhere

I’ve had dogs my whole life, up to three at a time. Over the years I’ve taken in many rescues and fostered dogs from time to time — big or small, young or old it doesn’t matter to me. I’ve also had cats throughout my life. Simply put, I’m an animal lover. Right now I have two dogs of my own, River and Bruiser (an 85lb beauceron and a 35lb true mutt, both rescues, who have traveled cross country with me. They hike, camp and swim but mostly love cuddles. I’m experienced giving medications when needed — oral meds, ear drops, you name it — and I’ve helped several dogs recover post-surgery. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, behaviors and sizes. I’m active and outgoing, so I love taking dogs for long walks. I work from home, so as long as there’s Wi-Fi, I’m happy to house-sit and hang out with your dogs or cats while I work. I’m also available for quick drop-in visits — walks, feeding, water, play, fetch, whatever’s needed. Flexible scheduling works fine for me.

Jessica is an animal lover to her core and you can tell as soon as you meet her. She is so patient with our two rescue dogs and did everything she could to make sure they were comfortable and well cared for. Highly highly recommend!

Jessica was a Godsend. Due to a last minute sitter cancellation that left me scrambling for a long work trip, I found Jessica. Then right before my trip, my pup got an injury. I walked through everything with Jessica and with her prior experience caring for fosters, I knew he was in the right hands while I was away. She took amazing care of my guy, kept me up to date on everything and sent loads of pictures of my guy. I am forever grateful for the care she provided while I was away for an extended period and helping Beckham recover from his injury. Highly recommend booking with Jessica!

Jessica and River were wonderful with Fenway. River got along famously with our girl and they had the best time. We will definitely look to them when Fenway has to go to camp.

My second time having Jessica dog sit for me. She is such a blessing and sends photo updates daily of Riley and her dog River playing. I’m happy to have found her. It makes me more comfortable as a dog owner to know your dog can enjoy himself while you have to travel out of town. Poor guy was so tired when I picked him up, I could tell he got a lot of play time!

Thank you so much for looking after Daisy. She loved having a backyard for a few days and playing with River and Bruiser. 5 Stars!
