Pet care experience

Human mom that loves critters!

I’ve cared for animals for many years and truly treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to feel at peace when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer dependable, attentive care with a calm and nurturing presence. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, walks, administering basic medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and gentle with senior animals who need a little extra care and attention. I had my precious doggy (the yellow guy) for over 17 years and held him until his last breath. He was a larger breed and I didn’t expect him to live that long! I also brought my Persian kitty (almost quite literally) back to life after he was badly injured-likely a car accident. He was on a feeding tube for months and I cleaned and dressed his wounds, prepared his liquid food and kept him going when I was 8 years old. He eventually moved out with me to my first house and peacefully passed away on my bed ❤️‍🩹 As a mom, I bring a natural level of responsibility, awareness, and consistency into everything I do. You can trust that your pets—and your home—are in caring, capable hands. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away 💛

Dog Walking • Aug 22, 2026

Jessica has been a great dog walker both times we’ve asked. She’s attentive, on time, and our dog always enjoys spending time with her! Thanks for the great work Jessica!

Jessica is very kind and caring with animals. I have known her for decades and seen her care for her own animals and children. She is considerate and knowledgeable and would make a great sitter or walker.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m intentional about being reliable and consistent. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, evening, or nighttime visits. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when I’m available. Your pet’s routine and comfort always come first.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, routines, medications, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and ensure doors, gates, and pets are always secure. I prioritize calm, attentive care so your pet feels safe and at ease while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

A typical visit includes lots of attention, affection, and meeting your pet’s specific needs. This may include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and quiet companionship. I pay attention to their behavior and energy levels, whether they’re playful or prefer a calm presence. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I may not be able to provide overnights but can be there to put your babies to sleep and up first thing in the morning. I have human babies that make it hard to house sit full time and am happy to work something out and have with many clients!

Before caring for your pet, I like to know their routine, feeding schedule, temperament, and any medical or behavioral needs. It’s helpful to understand how they do with new people, other animals, and any triggers or anxieties. Please share emergency contacts, vet information, and anything that helps me provide the best, most personalized care possible
