Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I give plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection, while also respecting each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I keep their environment clean, their needs met, and always make sure they get the same level of care they’re used to with you. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

Information Jessica M. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know anything that helps me give your pet the best and safest care. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys, and any quirks or fears they may have. I also like to know about any medical needs, medications, allergies, or mobility issues. Personality details are super helpful too—are they shy, energetic, cuddly, or independent? And if there are any house rules or training cues you use, I’ll make sure to follow them. The more I know, the more comfortable and happy your pet will be while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and entertained. I follow their normal routine—morning meals, fresh water, litter or potty breaks, and some gentle play to start the day. Throughout the day, I mix in fun activities based on what your pet enjoys: interactive toys, feather wands, treats, cuddles, outdoor time for dogs, or cozy relaxation time for cats who prefer a calmer vibe. I pay close attention to their energy level and personality, making sure they get just the right balance of play, affection, and rest. You can expect plenty of updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing!

The greatest! Not even a slight exaggeration. The kittens already miss her and are more friendly with her than with myself haha. Extremely trustworthy and kind!

Max was so worn out from all the fun and playing he did. I am happy to know when I’m away that he is taken care of so well. Thank you!!!!
