Compassionate, caring & experienced

Pet care experience

I have devoted my life to working and caring for animals. Growing up on a farm is where the passion began and from there I continued work in humane societies and vet clinics for the past 12 years. I have truly done it all when it comes to animal care. I am a vet tech and and very comfortable and familiar with medicating and different medications. I know how important proper pet nutrition is and am will to prepare raw meals if needed. I’ve spent time training pets and can continue working with your pet while you are at work, on vacation or out of town. I have no shame In doing the dirty deeds too, you know the cage cleaning, litter box patrol or back yard finds! I can confidently identify injuries or illness and treat as directed and am very outgoing so making sure you are kept up to date on your pets adventures while in my care will be no problem. I am flexible when it comes to caring for your pet. I work odd jobs to pay my bills but miss having that one on one time with pets. I own my own Etsy shop and door dash on the side currently. I have a fully fenced in yard, a 4 bedroom house and a 2 car garage. I have extra kennels if needed. I have 2 amazing children that I have every other week. My kids are use to me bringing home different foster pets and love helping me and giving them extra love and attention.

Jessica showed up consistently, provided great care to Loki and sent pics and daily updates. She communicated any questions or comments in a timely fashion. Would definitely refer her to others and would hire her again. Appreciate the great service.

Jessica is great! I was nervous having someone watch my dog, Lena for the first time. I really appreciate the time she took to hang with Lena and I before I left her for the weekend. Jessica was prompt getting back with me, sent updates with photos and was available to watch Lena last minute. All around great experience. Thanks again, Jessica!

I like that Jessica bonded with my cat and he was able to warm up and be himself with her. We were out of town for 6 days and I appreciate her consistency coming over to care for him and give him company.

Information Jessica R. would like to know about your pet

Please don’t hesitate to give me all of the specifics about your pet. If they have special needs for food, supplements, feeding schedules, walks or activities. Are they more comfortable on the bed or in a kennel? Do they like to go potty on or off leash? Do you as the own have special training commands you would like me to use while under my care? No problem!

A typical day

I love using positive reinforcement to help your pets have a good time while under my care. Playing games, going for walks and doing one on one training enrichment makes sure they enjoy their time so you can enjoy yours.
