Availability

I work from home so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide loving care for your furry family members. I love to take walks during the day and my own senior dogs aren't up for as many walks lately so I’m happy for the extra exercise and time with dogs and cats.

Safety, trust & environment

I get to know each animal slowly and with care, meeting them at their comfort level and pace. I'm happy to play with dog indoors and/or take them on leashed walks without headphones or other distractions so I can hear and see cars/bikes coming and can protect your dogs like they're my own. I enjoy hanging out with cats while respecting their boundaries and making sure they’re safe and comfortable.

Information Jessica P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what makes your pet happy and comfortable, as well as anything that makes them unhappy or uncomfortable. Where do they like to walk/play and how long do they like to walk/play before they take a break? How do they walk on a leash? Are they reactive to other dogs or people? Knowing a pets’ history with reactivity and socialization is important to me so I can keep everyone safe and happy. The more you share, the better I can care for your furry family members.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks, play fetch and other interactive games, give belly rubs and scritches, play in the yard, enjoy sun spots together, etc. I’ll take them on neighborhood walks, hikes on local trails, or go play time at parks.

Caring for your best friends 🐶 🐱

Pet care experience

As a dedicated dog lover with over fifteen years of experience with my own dogs and 30+ foster dogs, I'm passionate about providing loving care for your furry family members. I'll get to know each dog and cat, learning and adjusting for their individual needs and quirks, favorite toys and treats, and play/snuggle preferences. I genuinely love spending time with annimals and can't imagine my life without furry friends. I work from home so I’m able to offer lots of time, love and attention to your furry best friends.

You can know that your pet is in good hands with Jess! She looked after our little Lola when we went away on vacation. She sent us daily updates and photos. She even came in the middle of a blizzard to make sure that Lola was taken care of. We will definately use her again in the future!

Jessica was an absolute joy to work with. Very flexible as my travel plans kept changing, and my shy kitty trusted her enough to allow pets.
