Availability
Pet care is a meaningful and flexible part of my weekly routine. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of availability during mornings, afternoons, and weekends to dedicate to your pets. I structure my schedule to ensure I’m fully present during each visit, walk, or stay—whether it’s for a quick drop-in or a longer day of care. My part-time work allows me to offer reliable, consistent care without rushing. I love using my extra time to give pets the attention, play, and comfort they need when you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, house sitting, or boarding in my home, I make sure your pet’s routine is a priority in mine.

Fun Activities I Offer for Your Pets! 🐾 I believe pets thrive on love, attention, and fun! Here are some of the enriching activities I do with the pets I care for: 🐕 Dog Walk Adventures We’ll go on stimulating walks suited to your pup’s energy level—whether it’s a relaxed stroll around the block or a brisk walk through the park. I vary routes to keep things exciting and let them safely sniff and explore! 🎾 Playtime Galore Fetch, tug-of-war, squeaky toys, and puzzle games—I love getting your pets moving and mentally engaged. I always match playtime to their preferences and energy level. 🧘 Calm & Cuddles For the more mellow pets, I’m all about snuggle time, belly rubs, brushing, or just being a calm presence. I’ll keep them comfortable and happy, especially if they’re missing their favorite humans. 🐾 Training & Enrichment With your permission, I incorporate fun training games or reinforce good manners with treats and praise. I also use food puzzles or snuffle mats to keep curious minds busy. 🎶 Music & Chill Time For anxious or older pets, I create a soothing environment with soft music, cozy beds, and gentle companionship—just like home.

I treat every pet like family, and I take pride in learning each animal’s personality, needs, and routine.

I’m trained in basic pet first aid, experienced with administering medications, and confident with pets of all sizes and temperaments. Let me know how I can help give your pets the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐶🐱
Reviews
Jessica was fantastic. Unfortunately I was away on vacation for a formal meet so it was a last minute booking but it was so evident my boys immediately recognized a good person and there was no issues. I have one very large boy and one small one who hates people and she seemed to win them both over.
Jessica took very good care of our doggie. I highly recommend her.
