Availability

Right now, I’m not working a separate job, which means I have very open and flexible availability. I’m able to accommodate morning, daytime, evening and last-minute requests whenever possible. Because my schedule is flexible, I can give your pet plenty of time, attention, and consistency rather than rushing in and out. My goal is to fit my care around your pet’s needs and routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow all care instructions closely—feeding, meds, exercise, and special needs—so your pet’s routine stays normal. I prioritize safety by securing doors and gates, using proper leashes or harnesses, and keeping spaces clean and hazard-free. I handle pets calmly, watch for any behavior or health changes, and send regular updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy.

Information Jessica R. would like to know about your pet

Before care begins, it’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, likes and dislikes, and any medical or behavioral concerns. I also like to know what makes them happy or stressed, how they do with new people, and any safety needs. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

A typical day

I follow your pet’s normal routine with feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications. Fun activities depend on their personality and can include walks, toys, games, enrichment, cuddles, and calm hangout time. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and feeling at home.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’ve spent most of my professional life working in animal care, which has given me a strong foundation in understanding animal behavior, health, and daily routines. I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including administering medications, following special care instructions, and supporting pets with different personalities and needs. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I treat every cat and dog as if they’re my own, and I always strive to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether you’re traveling, working, or out for the day, you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, knowledgeable hands. I’ll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you can enjoy your time away worry-free. Please reach out with any questions :)

Jessica is an incredible pet sitter—loving, passionate, and truly exceptional under pressure. She treats every pet as if they were her own, with genuine care and attention that immediately puts both pets and owners at ease. Even in high-stress situations, Jessica remains calm, focused, and dependable, always prioritizing the well-being and safety of the animals in her care. Her dedication and compassion truly set her apart, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets.

I highly recommend Jessica for animal care. She has extensive experience with many kinds of animals-dogs, cats, reptiles, macaws and parrots to name a few! She’s worked at multiple animal care facilities. I totally trust her with my precious animals!

Jessica was my boss previously at a zoo/aquarium and she always takes the utmost care in loving all animals around her. She is detail oriented, a great communicator and quick on her feet. Animals are unpredictable, but she is always fast to mold to situations with animals safety as her top priority. She would be my first choice to care for my fur babies if I lived in her city.
