Pet care experience

Honored to love and spoil your pet

I have cared for and loved animals world wide- from pet sitting locally, providing food and water and kindness to strays along my travels, to volunteering at Australia Zoo. Since I was younger, animals have always held a huge place in my heart- rescuing farm kittens, dog walking for neighbors, and swerving to avoid hitting a frog with my bike. My love goes beyond our domesticated pets - I have volunteered at a wildlife rehab so I also do what I can for our local wildlife. And I’ve seen the good the bad and the ugly when I shadowed along side my best friend in Australia during her overnight emergency vet shifts. Providing comfort and love to animal, domesticated or wild, is a true honor.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for my/your pet, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs—whether that means playful engagement, gentle companionship, or giving them space. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive medication as directed, and get plenty of attention and affection. I keep litter boxes and living areas clean, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and communicate updates and photos to owners for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and lots and lots of love.

This was our second time using Jessica. I cannot say enough good things about how great she is with my 2 large pups.

Jessica is a compassionate and dependable person who has a deep, genuine love for all animals. She is a caring and empathetic soul who treats every pet as if they were her own, ensuring your furry, feathered, or finned family member always feels safe, comfortable, and loved. You can count on her to be reliable and attentive towards your pet(s) as well as trustworthy in your home. You will have peace of mind while you’re away knowing your companions are being given the exercise, affection, and consistency you’re requesting for them.

Jessica is the best. From the moment we left, it was clear our cats were not only well cared for, but genuinely loved, with thoughtful attention to their routines, comfort, and personalities. Jess’ professionalism, reliability, and compassionate approach gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Coming home to happy, relaxed cats made it clear they were in truly caring hands.

I work one Saturday a month and those hours vary- usually a 4 hour day. With owning my own business I can set my hours- when I have notice I can always schedule accordingly to the pet’s needs.
