Pet care experience
Full-time Pet Lover! Available Now!
Furbaby moms and dads can rest assured that their furry baby is being well taken care of. I have an unlimited supply of patience and plenty of love to give! I believe there is no such thing as a "bad" dog or cat, just one who needs a little more guidance, a consistent source of affection, and an abundance of patience. I was raised with animals all my life and have never lived without a pet, even while in a dorm in college! Not only do I love dogs, but I love all animals. No matter what kind of pet you have (except spiders, sorry!) I will be happy to care for them, or just give them a cuddle, in your absence. As for why your furbaby will love me....I love to play, I love kisses, I love cuddles, and I love a good conversation or a song if your baby prefers that! Laps and furniture were made for animals to enjoy right along with me. And beds are for puppy piles and purring pillows. Big or little they are all just babies and it would be my greatest joy to be their buddy when you can't be there. A peek into my life.....I am 44 going on 25! I have 1 daughter, 16, and her name is Beverly. I am married to, and extremely proud, of an active duty United States Coast Guardsman. He has served for 28 years! 20 of those years married to me. We have lived all along the east coast. Elizabeth City, NC. Where we had Beverly. Washington, DC and then Cape Cod, MA. We have finally returned to where it all began, HOME! Wild horses couldn't drag me away from here! This is it for me! When visiting my mother, who lives in Maine, I have the unconditional love of her 10 dogs and usually a litter of puppies. When I visit they come running out to greet me before I have even parked my car! I just love giving them all their special hellos, a special greeting from me that are as different as they are. One or 2 of them are always following me everywhere I go and if I stop moving they each pick a leg and start licking, top to bottom! They fight over who gets to sleep with me in my TWIN bed and it always comes down to the matriarch, Boston, the stud muffin, Finn, and whoever else can squeeze in. Recent new puppy additions seem to find an empty pocket of space and slide in to fill it! Bedtime is my favorite time with this gang! But the best is that they all want to be in my lap at the same time. I am truly happiest in the moments spent with all my babies, past and present! Their unconditional love and absolute loyalty has gotten me through some tough times. My dogs, Georgia and Cuda, aren't any different. I can guarantee that they are both where they can see me at all times. My cats, Teddy and Star, and dogs have no concept of personal space! If I leave the room, they follow....even to the bathroom! All 4 pile in and get comfortable! Lol! They are always by my side, under my feet, or blocking the way! Bottom line, nothing your pet might do will ever make me angry, frustrated, or annoyed. They all speak to us differently and I wouldn't change anything.I have a keen eye to any changes in behavior or mood and I will not hesitate to contact you or go straight to the vet! I have an excellent relationship with my vet's office and most of the staff knows me well. They are always willing to answer my questions or offer advice, even over the phone! I will follow your rules and be consistent with any training techniques you use. I know how important it is to keep using the same method of training in their routine. I will send pictures and updates as often as you like. And you can call me, at ANY time (I work 24/7)if you have any concerns or just miss them and need some reassurance and a picture. They are your babies after all. You have put your trust in me to care for them in your absence and I will never let them or you down! I am excited to start this new adventure with all your babies, furry, not furry, scaly, or feathered! I am a FULL TIME petsitter! This is my job and it's what I love to do! I have a daughter in high school who I cart around and my fur babies to care for. However all of this can be done around your schedule. Please refer to my profile essay. Everything you need or want to know, and some things you don't, are in that introduction. And of course, you can ask about anything I didn't write and you would like to know. I'm an open book!

Ratings and reviews
Jessica was OUTSTANDING! We went on a three week vacation and this was my first time using Rover app. Admittedly, I was nervous using the app, but once I met Jessica and went over her reviews I felt confident she would be a good fit. She spent generous time with our kitties so they wouldn’t feel lonely while we were gone. And she sent videos and pics almost every day which put our minds at ease. Then she just went above and beyond: We have a litter robot that malfunctioned while we’re were gone and when she realized she went out and picked up a regular box and litter so the girls wouldn’t make a mess. We didn’t even need to ask, she just did it. Then a few days before the end of the trip, we ran out treats we use for giving meds, she offered to buy more. (After she spent her own money on the litter box we made sure to have amazon deliver some the next day). And finally, she swept and mopped our main living areas and washed the kitty bowls so we could walk into a clean home. ❤️ That was so refreshing after a long trip (and horrible flight back)! She is AMAZING, and we will definitely be using her and referring her services to anyone in need in the future. You rock Jessica!


Jessica took care of our cats and kept the apartment clean while we were on our trip!


My girl literally comes back from her walkies smiling - I couldn’t be happier, and neither can she! Thanks for helping a gal out as I work a zillion hours 🥰.

Our senior dog was well cared for while we were away, and Jessica was kind and very attentive to her needs, anxiety level and our home's tidiness. However, there were several instances when Jessica didn't officially start a drop-in visit in the app, or end it when it completed, which left me unsure of when she was at our home or whether our dog received all the visits we expected for the day. I think our dog was happy and healthy the whole time, but I didn't like having to reach out to confirm whether scheduled visits occurred or not, and I would have preferred that visit times hadn't varied so widely from the times set in the visit details.

Penelope is literally smiling each time she comes back from her walks. And the way she greets Jessica? She doesn’t even get that excited when I come home!

Was great with staying at the house and giving medicine.
