Pet care experience
I've had 2 dogs in the family for 10+ years now and understand the challenges of wanting the best exercise for your best friend while being very busy. Aside from that, I've had/have bunnies, birds and a cat and am expert in cat body language, bird calls and bunny thumps - so you can say I'm multi-lingual and very safety-conscientious (: Please never hesitate to ask me questions or for any updates on your baby - I'm always ready to send a quick text back or send pictures! I also want to say that i'm down to care for almost any pet - cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, rats, etc. 🥰 My only exceptions would be anything venomous or feeding live/dead feed (bugs, rats to snakes).
Reviews
Jessica was everything I needed to ease the stress of leaving my 2 cats home alone for a week! She was extremely accommodating to my schedule for the initial meet and greet, and very kind to the kitties upon first introductions. Very appreciative for her services!
Jessica has been absolutely amazing with our puppy, Honey. She is on top of providing updates on Honey's behavior, demeanor, energy levels, and potty habits during the times she is with her. She gives her exactly the type of love and attention we need when we're out working all day. Jessica is responsive, flexible, and reliable and has truly been such a gift for our family. Honey loves her days with Jessica, and we love knowing that Honey is in good hands! Jessica is all around fantastic to work with.
I have never felt more comfortable and relaxed with a sitter before. She really made sure to send pictures of my cat and always updating me. I was so worried to be away for so long but I was so relaxed just knowing she had her. Best sitter by far and amazing personality filled with optimism!
One thing to know about my dog is that she has severe people anxiety. Searching for someone to take care of her was stressful for our family because we were nervous about her and her potential caretaker’s compatibility. Now, we’ll never have to deal with that anymore now that we have Jess! Jess just has an aura about her that seems to calm down both the dog and their owner! Upon their first meeting, she was very careful and patient with Akira. She knew exactly what tools and steps were needed in order for Akira to have a fun, relaxing, and worthwhile stay. We’ve made her our official caregiver and we hope you will to!

Safety, trust & environment
My pets get daily enrichment with an abundance of toys that get switched out pretty often. I'm also researching/watching videos on how to better take care of our friends! For dog walking, it'll depend on your preference - I'm flexible.
Information Jessica L. would like to know about your pet
Preference of walk duration, aggression towards strangers, aggression towards children, aggression towards other dogs/smaller dogs, amount of prey drive, what helps make the dog more comfortable, what activities does the dog enjoy, any health issues that may hinder a walk, what their pee/poop routine tends to be and if they still aren't completely house broken, how severe is the tendency to destroy things, how they deal with bad behavior/reward good behavior, do they have any allergies, are there any fear/aggressive triggers
A typical day
Depending on the neighborhood, I would love to take them to park to walk and get some exercise and interesting smells in! I would avoid dog parks unless specifically stated that the dog has experience in them and enjoys the new company.
