I’m currently on summer break from veterinary school, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week at all hours of the day to meet your pet’s needs. If you’re looking for a long-term sitter, I will also make sure to prioritize time for your pup during the school year (August–May).

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, and staying active or prefers a calmer, more relaxed environment, I’m happy to provide the care and attention that best fits their personality and needs. As a veterinary student with experience pet sitting for extended periods of time, I’m very attentive to animals’ behavior, routines, and overall well-being. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household routines to ensure your pet is cared for exactly the way they are at home. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I also enjoy sending regular photo updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and happy while they’re away.

Vet Student/Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I’m a second-year veterinary student at the University of Florida with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have dog sat numerous times for friends, neighbors, and families, including extended stays lasting several weeks. Through veterinary school and personal experience, I’m comfortable monitoring pets closely, administering basic medications if needed, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pet with someone else, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Jessica was amazing on a last minute crunch. I hope to use her again soon.

When you think of Jessica, you think of pure compassion for animals. Jessica has provided care for our dog since we got him. Jessica doesn’t only care about the well being of pets, she aims to develop a connection and trust. I have personally witnessed her provide services for other local pets, ranging from a newborn to the adult 100 pound guard-dog type breeds. We feel incredibly secure leveraging Jessica’s skills to ensure our dog receives the most enjoyable experience while we are out of town. You and your pet are missing out by passing up on the opportunity to work with her.

I can’t recommend Jessie enough! She has been caring for animals her entire life and it truly shows in the way she connects with them. She’s currently in veterinary school, so not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about animal health and behavior, but she’s also patient, attentive, and extremely compassionate. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or any other animal, she treats them all like her own and always goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. She’s responsible, trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I would feel completely confident leaving any of my own pets in her care. Any pet owner would be lucky to have her as their sitter!
