Information Jessica R. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know as much as possible about your pet in order to make their experience with me enjoyable and stress-free. Important details include and medical needs, allergies, specific routines, favorite toys, or activities, and any behavioral quirks or triggers. Knowing if they're shy, energetic, or have any specific likes or dislikes helps me create a positive environment for them. Please also share how they interact with other pets or people, so that I can keep everyone safe and happy on walks or during playtime!

A typical day

A typical day with me is filled with plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection! I'll tailor each day to your pets unique energy level and personality. For active pets, I love taking them on fun, energizing walks and playing interactive games to keep them stimulated and happy. For those who prefer a slower pace, I enjoy offering gentle strolls, cuddles, and extra attention. Whether its a game of fetch, exploring new walking paths, or providing lots of pets and belly rubs, I'm committed to making every day enjoyable and comforting for you pet while you're away!

Pet care experience

I’m passionate about giving pets the best care possible and creating a safe, loving environment tailored to each animal’s needs. I have experience with animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need gentle, specialized attention. I am detail-oriented, ensuring feeding schedules, medication routines, and any training methods are followed precisely. I’m also attentive to pets’ unique personalities, helping them feel secure and happy while their families are away!

Jessica is amazing and everything you want from someone to take care of our lovely furry friends. We boarded our 17 week old pup with Jessica and could not be happier with our decision. She is observant, caring, kind, flexible, and never failed to provide updates and communicate with us when our pup stayed with her. I highly recommend Jessica and would 1000% board with her again!
