During the summer, I am available any day of the week at any time for dog walking and cat sitting.

Jessica took wonderful care of our puppy- punctual, reliable and professional. She communicated well and gave us a peace of mind knowing our puppy was in good hands. I would 100% recommend Jessica!

We couldn’t have made a better decision to have Jessica and her family take care of our dog. They were most accommodating with providing pictures, all the while having the opportunity to pick up our dog throughout the week. I encourage everyone who has never had your pet in someone else’s home for many days I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Jessica. My wife and I rate her a 15 on a 1-10 scale where 10 is excellent as she was much more than a 10. Thank you Jessica! We couldn’t have had anyone better!! Sincere thanks!

Jessica and her family were great to our dog Coco. They took her on short notice during the holiday season and made it convenient to do our initial meet and greet. She sent daily updates and pictures of Coco. We would certainly book with her again. Thank you for taking care of her ❤️
