I’m currently a SAHM and have lots of free time! I’m home full time. I may leave occasionally, but briefly, for small jobs or errands. My little ones are 5 and <1. They love to help with all the pets. I also have base access if needed. I specialize in cats! I have a dedicated room for them with window perches and cozy spots.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large grassy backyard to play in. It’s not fenced but we can play together on a leash. Your pet will remain indoors with me. I can crate at bedtimes if that’s what you prefer. Or they usually like to sleep at the foot of my bed. I only board ONE dog at a time for less stress. I will consider taking in 2 if they come together. I can board multiple cats at times, but I have a special room designated for each one. (If there is no dog boarding I let the cats roam as they please.) I don’t own dogs myself, only a cat, who keeps to herself. She roams around but will keeps her distance from other pets. For drop ins I will follow whatever protocol you have for your pets.

Information Jessica J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of your needs and preferences for your pet. I am comfortable with allowing flexibility for special requests. We can play outside or sit inside for quiet comfort.

A typical day

We have big, grassy fields around us and lots of sidewalks to roam. Friendly neighbors and children out playing. But mostly we will be inside, cuddled up on the couch relaxing. Pets are definitely allowed on my furniture.

Pet care experience

I love cats and dogs. I had many pets growing up. I only own a cat and we have room for more. Patience is often required for shy pets and I make sure to go slowly and give time and space for warming up. I’m comfortable following owner’s guidelines and preferences to make sure your pet has familiar baselines.

Jessica took great care of our sweet Angel. We needed a sitter for a few days so that we could attend an out of state funeral. We did our research for a sitter and five star Jessica was available. We communicated back and forth before booking and then booked. Jessica invited us into her home and allowed us to see where Angel would be staying. It took a few minutes, but then Angel made herself right at home. My sweet girl is on medication, so we shared that information with Jessica. She checked in with us everyday letting us know how Angel was doing, that she had her meds, and even sent pictures. We were so thankful for the care and concern that Jessica took with our sweet Angel. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Jessica!

Jessica was awesome! Her communication was great and she checks every box. Will absolutely be going back and recommending her to anyone that needs a sitter!

Jessica was phenomenal with our dog, Sophia. Sophia struggles with a bit of separation anxiety and she usually boarded with my parents but since PCS’ing to Maryland, my husband and I struggled with what to do with her when we needed to go on extended vacations. Sophia did struggle a bit with accidents and feeling nervous (even chewing through her leash) but Jessica did not express any frustrations with our dog! In fact, she went above and beyond in getting her treats, calming chews, and finding new systems to help Sophia feel more at ease while we were away! I’m hesitant to leave Sophia but I’m happier knowing there’s someone out there in the world that has immeasurable patience to handle our sweet girl!

Jessica was amazing! She took such good care of our dogs. They were very happy and relaxed when we picked them up. All their things were clean and maintained upon return. We appreciate all that she did and knowing that our pups were happy and comfortable the entire time!
