Grumpy pups & needy cats, please!
Pet care experience
With over ten years of hands-on experience caring for my own anxious, grumpy little dog, I’ve developed a deep well of patience, empathy, and skill—especially with pets who need a little extra understanding. I specialize in building trust with animals who are nervous, particular, or slow to warm up, and I truly enjoy earning their affection on their terms. I have experience with senior care, including administering medications, monitoring health changes, and maintaining comfortable routines. I’m also confident with training puppies and reinforcing positive behaviors, especially for dogs who need consistency and calm energy. Whether it's a clingy cat who needs companionship or a temperamental pup who prefers personal space, I tailor my care to fit each animal’s emotional and physical needs. I’m not just here to walk or feed—I’m here to make your pet feel safe, understood, and loved while you're away.

About Jessica P.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets feel safest and happiest in their own space, so I focus on providing calm, attentive care right in your home—where they’re most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routines, whether that means specific feeding times, medication schedules, walk preferences, or favorite hiding spots for shy cats. For drop-ins and walks, I make sure your pet gets both physical exercise and emotional attention—whether that’s playtime, gentle companionship, or simply a peaceful presence. I always keep the home tidy, respect your space, and provide updates with photos so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands. I don’t offer care in my own home, but I’m fully committed to making your home feel like a safe, calm haven while you’re away.
Information Jessica P. would like to know about your pet
I want to know everything about your pets—the quirks, the joys, the triggers, and the routines. The best parts and the worst. If I ask a lot of questions before and after our first session, it’s because I’m not just showing up—I’m building a relationship. I want to be your pet’s best friend (and your trusted backup human), and that means understanding them deeply from the start. So tell me all about the weird bark before dinner, the dramatic flop when they want attention, or that one squirrel they have a personal vendetta against—I’m here for it all.
A typical day
I tailor every visit to your pet’s personality and energy level, making sure they feel both stimulated and safe. For energetic pups or adventurous puppies, I love incorporating outdoor hikes, active playtime in the yard or park, and dog park visits—if that’s a good fit for their temperament and training. For those who thrive on mental stimulation, I mix in games like scent work, puzzle toys, and basic training refreshers to keep their minds engaged. For cuddle bugs, senior pets, or those who just need a little comfort, I’m all about deep petting sessions, cozy hangouts, and keeping their routine relaxed and stress-free. I meet pets where they’re at, making sure they feel loved, entertained, and totally at ease while you're away.

Availability
Pet care is a meaningful and fulfilling part of my weekly rhythm. From Monday to Wednesday, I’m available for evening walks, check-ins, and cuddle sessions after 6 PM—perfect for winding down your pet’s day with some love and attention. On Thursdays and Fridays, I offer flexible availability upon request, and my weekends are wide open for daytime walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. Whether it’s a quick visit for a shy cat, a weekend walk for your grumpy pup, or a cozy check-in while you're away, I’m happy to work around your schedule to give your pets the reliable, thoughtful care they deserve.
