Pet care experience

Animal Enthusiast

Loved pets from a young age. Religiously watched Animal Planet and Discovery Channel. Started pet-sitting in high school and eventually became a veterinary technician. Moved on in the medical field, but kept my passion for animal care. Love spending time with my dog and rabbit any chance I get. Hope to own a house and start my own boarding/training facility.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to watch pets in their own homes as it is less stressful for them. Also, I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my husband, son, rabbit, and dog, so there is not much more space for other critters. I hope to move into a house with a yard soon so I am able to watch more animals at my place. With my vet tech experience, I am able to offer many services a vet clinic would offer (administer medications, iv fluids, nail trims, anal glands, etc.).

Jessica was very prompt with her responses and thorough with her drop in checks of our two kitties. She shared photos from each drop in visit which was much appreciated!

Jessica was great with our dog! She sent updates frequently throughout the visit and Wrigley had a great time! We are always so sad when we have to leave him, but felt really comfortable leaving him with Jessica.

Jessica is a great care giver especially when it come to animals. She seems to have a natural affection for them and they too to her. She is trust worthy and some one who has cared for my animals on more than on occasion. We love her!

Jessica was great!! My cat Charlie had oral surgery the day before I had to go out of town, and she was totally willing to give her her antibiotics, even though Charlie was a little grumpy about it. Absolutely wonderful sitter!!!

I asked Jessica to watch my cat, Luna before traveling out of town for the weekend. Not only did she get back to me right away, but she was so easy to coordinate with. The drop off was easy, the pickup was easy, and I never had to worry about my cat. Jessica sent me updates and pictures for Luna’s whole stay and I could tell that the two of them were bonding and really having a blast together. If you are looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and will provide headache and worry-free services, I would definitely recommend Jessica. I could not be more grateful for her help, and will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I need someone to watch Luna!

Schedule

At the moment, I work full time at a concussion treatment center near my apartment. I come home on my lunch breaks to let my dog out to potty. After work, I take my dog on a walk and play tug with him. I also let my rabbit roam the house supervised. I usually have my evenings and weekends free to coordinate play dates or watch other people’s pets.
