I’m passionate w/ reasonable prices

Pet care experience

I am a very dedicated and hard worker. I am very responsible, fun and easy going. I have always been surrounded by crazy and fun-loving pets, so I have a lot of patience. I am great at creating relationships with all kinds of animals and people alike. My previous pets include a Brittney Spaniel and black house cat. I currently have a medium haired black cat who is 2. I also help to take care of my parents dogs one of which is a flat coated retriver that is 5 years old, the other is a 5 month old springer spaniel. They are packed full of energy and can be quite a handful. I have also taken care of my families pets which include; golden retrievers, pomeranians, terriers, shitzus, labradors and keeshonds, so I know how to deal with many breeds and situations. I am willing to work from anytime between 6am-10pm Monday through Friday, as well as on the weekends if needed. I will give your pet all of the comfort, care and love they deserve. I can assure you I will not let you or your furry friends down! I’m currently on a leave of absence from my part time job and am extremely flexible with scheduling. At work or not I will have plenty of time for your pets! I like to meet with my clients in advance so they can show me where everything needed to care for their animals is located. I also ask questions about any rules or regulations because personal and professional boundaries should be a given! For stays over 5 days I would like to know the policy on having guests in your home. I welcome questions about anything to ensure the safety and comfort of both the client and their pet. I am fully COVID-19 vaccinated and boosted, I hope this also brings you good piece of mind.

Jessica is the best, she has taken care of my cat Peggy before and my cat loves her. This time she Jess helped us taking care of my friend’s cat Sophie and my cat Peggy both of them loved her. I will definitely reach her again with no doubts

Unreliable and emotionally unstable. The first time we hired this person, she had her boyfriend over without asking permission. We let this go as she told us she was feeling highly emotional and needed support. So we hired her again. On this trip, the alarm went off three times, and one time the police were sent over so we called her to make sure she was safe and everything was okay. She became upset that we called and checked in on her. Then she sent us messages every day as to the time our puppies were being fed which we appreciated except the hours were very late in the morning and late in the evening, So I asked her if that's when our dogs were being fed or if that's just when the pictures were being sent. Apparently, this upset her as well, and she became more unstable. Then we find out she is taking care of other dogs while she is house sitting and caring for ours. We were not informed of this prior to our trip so we did not know if our dogs were being crated all day or if she was just gone for a few hours. She became so emotionally disregulated by our questions that she stated she was going to leave and kennel our dogs. We told her they had never been kennelled before, and one of my dogs is highly anxious. Her response was, "I am keeping the dogs out of this." Meaning the well-being of our dogs are not important. Halfway through our trip, our dogs were kennelled, and we had to contact our neighbors to watch our house for us. If you want a relaxing trip and want to hire someone to make sure your house and animals are taken care of, do not hire this person. My husband were both looking forward to a nice relaxing vacation in which we happened to hire somebody who is mentally unstable and ruined our trip.

Jessica did an outstanding job caring for our golden, Josie. We really appreciated that she walked Josie twice everyday. Jessica was great!

As always, impeccable person to leave beloved pets with. I travelled overseas to see my dying grandfather and had no concerns at what was going on at home with Jessica around. This is the second time she has watched my pets (all five of them!) while we have been out of the country and I don’t think I could recommend anyone more. She sends very welcome pictures and updates every day and my two year old even started asking “has Jessica texted, yet!?” every day. Jessica, without a doubt, has become someone I rely on and look forward to having around whenever I can’t be home. Thanks so much, again!
