Experienced Animal Caretaker/Lover

Pet care experience

I have multiple years (20+) of experience caring for animals where safety and fun are equally important. I personally have a 2 year old Pomeranian mix and a 7 year old black cat with a cleft nose. I previously had a 15 year old rat terrier who I took care of for 14 years. I have experience with special needs pets, senior pets, and pets of all sizes/shapes/species. I pay attention to details/instructions and am "late notice" friendly. Besides my personal pets, I have taken care of friends/family's pets- dogs (small tea-cup poodles to huge labradoodles), cats, snakes, bunnies, iguanas, frogs, rats, chinchillas, and fish. I also work well with special needs pets (physical or anxiety/mental) as I'm very patient and always willing to learn new things. I have reliable transportation, and I don't let mild weather conditions affect my duties. As far as boarding goes- I live in a one story apartment on the end with my pup and cat who are both friendly with other animals. We can always do a meet and greet at my place beforehand to see if you believe it will be a good fit. :) Please contact me with any questions!

She was amazing, it was clear our dog loved her. Our dog is still training and she was kind enough to ensure she kept up with that. She came twice and not only loved on our dog but walked him! If your gonna be home late or just need a break I would 100% book Jessica! You can't go wrong!

Jess is truly the best! She has taken care of our animals many times in the past. She takes so much pride in the details of spending time with your pet. She always has a quick response and I always feel so safe knowing that she is taking care of my dog. She is the only one I trust for the job.

I booked Jessica last minute after my usual cat sitter had a family emergency right before we left for our trip. Due to the timing we were not able to schedule a pre-visit but Jessica stepped right in! She followed all our care instructions and gave the cats lots of pets! We returned to two well cared for and happy cats! Thank you Jessica for helping us at the last minute and taking great care of our cats.

Information Jessica L. would like to know about your pet

Important information to get on any animal from their owners is vet information, feeding schedule/food information, and their pets' typical likes/disinterests. Specifically dogs, I like to know if they walk well on a leash and if they handle running into others (dogs and people) well, just so I can be prepared!

A typical day

A typical visit for me involves following any instructions left by the owner. I then give the pet plenty of attention, love, and rubs. I will play fetch with them, tug of war, and love getting the laser out for both cats and dogs. I always take plenty of pictures and send a detailed update of the visit once finished.

I have a full-time job and another part time job, but will always find time to plan a meet and greet before any booking to ensure you're comfortable with everything. I find that visiting times that are flexible work better with my schedule. Because I work 8-5 during the week, I am unable to do mid-day visits Monday-Friday unless it's a holiday.
