Safety, trust & environment

One of my memorable house sitting experiences was with 5 energetic pit bulls. They were definitely a handful, but overall everything ended up going smoothly! This experience has made me more confident in myself as a sitter. :)

Information Jessica R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any needs or preferences that I should account for. I’d also love to know all about their favorite treats, places to be scratched, and toys!

A typical day

I love spending time with animals whether it’s playing, giving belly rubs, walking/running, or just relaxing. I can promise that your animals will have plenty of fun with me!

Reliable and loving pet care <3

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up loving animals and got my first pet of my own in middle school. Since then, I've had four geckos and lizards, two birds, several fish tanks, two family dogs, and most recently, a cat! I'm also a student at Michigan State University studying animal science, with a pre-veterinary concentration and many hours of clinical experience. I’d be more than happy to spend time with any of your fur, feathered, or scaly babies!

Rhys loves her. He sees her through the window and gets all excited. On time. Great communicator. Most pleasant.

I was in the kitchen cooking when Rhys began barking and hopping. Two things he rarely does. I looked out of the front windows. All I saw was the car. She hadn’t exited the car yet. Rhys knows her car! So on his behalf it’s 5 stars.

Rhys recognized her car after the 2nd visit. I have to get the harness on before he sees her. Generally he has good impulse control but he jumps and wags so much when he sees her can’t harness him. She’s a gem in every way.

This was the third hour walk for Rhys. Jessica is wonderful. Rhys gets very excited when she comes. He sees her car out of the window and he begins to prance around. I’ve got to get the harness on before she comes in. She is promo, communicative, trustworthy and much more. A marvelous discovery. Thank you Jessica.
