Is important to me that a space is kept clean, and habits are the overtime to maintain a space and animal health. Forgetting to do a litter box, one day happens, but forgetting to do it constantly can lead to your pet killing a fungal infection, and having a lot of pain in the limbs they walk on. I like to take a systems thinking approach, and things like a few times a week and cleaning your space everyday and securing unsafe spaces is super important . I work in retail and the service industry so I would love to transition out of that soon as hour can be short or sparse this time of year and build my photography business. Taking care of pets and having pet models for my portfolio would be great as well as the time to be active and have fun as I focus on building these foundational skills. I’ve already done the hectic schedule of chasing shifts downtown for the last 2 years so if I could have slower days and have clients closer to me that would be great.

Safety, trust & environment
To me a very successful play session involves observing the pet where they are,and how they interact because I am a guest in their space firstly, and giving them attention and love is my first priority. I don’t care that I may start out at a Lower rate or XYNZ is out of my pay grade. I’m not leaving a fecal mess or putting my headphones on, and turning Netflix and putting my feet up during a session because I can . The TV will always be there but the emotions and potential reactive response of a pet that might start biting plants or getting into stuff they shouldn’t —can lead to a permanent result. I want the pets I care to stay interested or at least rest and feel comfortable in their space and know that some one is there to feed them and respond to their needs or at least be willing to figure out what they need and not dismiss them. I have been trained by another company called Big City Wolf on proper dog handling and plan to get my animal CPR training this March and apply to work at the new ACS center in Coop city .
Information Jessica R. would like to know about your pet
If your pet has a certain allergy to perfumes or essential oils or hates a certain color or fashion accessory lmk. Sometimes i May have a hair treatment in and rarely use fragrance but I know small things can be triggers. If they don’t like sunglasses let me know so I can bring a baseball cap on a walk or my transition frames.
A typical day
So a typical day for me involves surveying a bit the area and check in the energy, reactions and interests.I try to take in and notice if I see a lot of dogs and foot traffic or potential hazards on my way to the jobs site (construction, special events, hazardous people) and plan a rout won google maps. If there’s a tugging toy that doesn’t require off leash I’ll try to bring that and then keep the dog if applicable , focuses on our walk with treats and incentivize ing play. With cats I try to see if they have any passive toys I can use at the end but ! Try to use active hunt/ string / cat and mouse toys in the beginning.

Pet care experience
He’ll there! My name is Jessica— an active, dependable pet caregiver currently working toward my credentials because your animals deserve someone who takes this seriously. I’m available middays, evenings, and weekends, and I happily offer home stays for pets who do best in a cozy, familiar environment. I’m based in the Co-Op city and love prioritizing neighborhood clients — there’s something special about being the trusted sitter on your block. I also serve the Southeast Bronx along the 5 and 6 train corridors, making me accessible to a wide range of families across the area. I’m strong and experienced handling larger dogs, and I welcome medically complex care — whether that means administering medication, managing special diets, or keeping a close eye on a senior or post-op pup. My community roots run deep, and that means you’ll always get honest communication, photo updates, and a sitter who truly cares. 🌻
