I meet all owners/pets before the first stay/walk so I can meet the owners/pets & we can go over any questions before we decide to go ahead with booking 😊. I am married and do provide locations for stays to my husband in case of emergency. He does not stay with me for house stays, as he takes care of our own kitties and pup when I’m away for a pet-sitting service! 🥰

Information Jessica S. would like to know about your pet

Does your pet have any special needs? Does your pet take any medications? What is the medication giving schedule? Which Veterinary clinic does your pet attend? For Dog Walks: Is your pup walked on or off-leash? Is your pup leash reactive? Is your pup dog reactive? Do you prefer solitary dog walks?

A typical day

I love going for walks and adventures with pups who are able! Some families prefer I walk pups around their neighbourhood/within the city and on leash! Some pups come with me for group walks in the woods, some pups get solo hikes/walks - we can accommodate activity to whatever your pets needs/abilities are. I love to play with the pets I care for! I try to make sure pups get exercise and mental stimulation throughout the days.

Pet care experience

I’ve been pet-sitting animals for 10+ years across Saskatchewan and now in Nova Scotia. I started providing daily dog walks 3 years ago and have loved every second of it ever since! I love to take a group of dogs out to the woods for some off leash adventures around the HRM. For pups who are less social or not trained off-leash, I am happy to keep them on a leashed walk around their own neighbourhood! I love animals deeply and I take great pride in caring for the animals I have privilige of caring for. I have built great bonds with the families I work with 💕 I’m very grateful for the furry friends I’ve made over the years and the families that have trusted me to provide care! 🥰 Please don’t hesitate to ask questions if you’re looking for a sitter/walker 🥰 Thank you for your time!

We recently went away for two weeks and were very nervous because we have never been away from our girls for more than a few days. Both are senior dogs and one is quite nervous around new people. Jessica was absolutely amazing. She sent multiple photos/updates/videos everyday. Jessica also takes amazing photos! She really put our minds at ease and made our trip worry free. We could not be happier with how well she took care of our girls and our house. Thank you so much!

Jessica was amazing with my Floof! Floof is nervous of strangers but Jessica was very respectful of Floof’s space. I think Floof appreciated that because after a couple of days Floof was asking for pets, belly rubs and giving kisses. It was hard being away for work for a week (we are never apart as she has severe separation anxiety) but it was easier knowing Jessica was taking care of her, and all the updates were great. Especially since Halifax had forest fires while I was away. I’ve come home to a physically and mentally safe and happy Floof.

Jessica is amazing!! We went away for 9 days and she stayed at our house taking care of our 7 year old husky Dakota, and pet hamster. She was in contact daily with pictures and updates so we could see how Dakota was doing which was great to see how well she was being taking care of. Jessica went above and beyond and took great care of our home and it was spotless when we got back! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter!! She is great and we will definitely ask her again!
