Highlights
Pet care experience
Grumpy pups & needy cats, please!
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.

Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
Jess is amazing! Jess did a wonderful job with our three pups. Our dogs are very energetic and have specific needs. Jess did an excellent job making sure they were all well taken care of. Our house was also in excellent condition. 100% recommend working with Jess.
We can't thank Jessica enough for the amazing experience and care she gave our fur babies while we were away for a weekend. We had booked a different pet sitter originally that never showed up, which almost led us to cancel our trip. After that stressful moment, we found Jessica's profile on Rover and reached out immediately. She quickly responded, stating that she was available & willing to meet that same day so that we can give proper instruction and so that she could meet our pets. The meet greet went WONDERFULLY, giving my partner & I a feeling of pleasant relief! While we were away, she sent us many updates and photos, which is exactly what we had asked for. Overall, we felt so incredibly comfortable knowing that our pets were safe & well taken care of. We seriously can't wait to book Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone wanting a sitter that is reliable & who genuinely cares. THANK YOU AGAIN, JESSICA!!
Very prompt and communicative. Would use again.

Schedule
Pet care is a meaningful and fulfilling part of my weekly rhythm. 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.

- 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.
