About Jessica S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment that caters to each pet’s specific needs. My home is fully pet-proofed and provides cozy spaces for lounging, sleeping, and playing. I ensure that pets have access to toys, beds, and safe areas to explore. I follow the pet's regular feeding and potty schedules to keep their routine consistent. I take time to learn about their habits to make them feel at home. Depending on the pet’s needs, I offer regular walks, backyard play, or indoor activities to ensure they stay active and happy. If the pet is anxious or shy, I provide a quiet space to relax and make sure they feel secure with gradual introductions to new surroundings. In your home I maintain the pet’s normal routine, from feeding and walks to playtime and bathroom breaks. I ensure their home is kept tidy and comfortable for both them and the pet parent. Many pets feel more secure in their familiar environment. I take care to create a calm atmosphere by minimizing disruptions and ensuring they have their favorite toys, bed, and comfort items. I offer tailored care based on the pet’s unique needs, whether that’s medication, specific diets, or behavioral routines. Just like in my home care, I update the client regularly with pictures and reports, ensuring they are always in the loop.

Information Jessica S. would like to know about your pet
Does the pet have any health issues or chronic conditions (e.g., allergies, arthritis, seizures)? Does the pet need any medications? If so, what is the schedule and how are they administered? Who is the pet’s veterinarian, and what’s the emergency contact information for after-hours care? Is the pet generally friendly, shy, anxious, or aggressive? Do they get along with other pets, children, or strangers? Are there any specific things that scare or stress the pet (e.g., thunderstorms, loud noises, other animals)? Has the pet ever shown signs of aggression (towards other animals, food guarding, etc.)? Do they have reactivity issues on walks or with strangers? What is the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and sleep? Do they have a specific time for meals or naps? How much physical activity does the pet require? Do they prefer long walks, short play sessions, or lounging around? What type of food do they eat, how much, and how often? Are there any treats or special dietary restrictions? Does the pet know basic commands like sit, stay, come, or leave it? Are there specific phrases they respond to? Are there any ongoing training challenges, such as jumping, leash pulling, or chewing on furniture? Does the pet have any favorite toys, games, or activities that help them feel comfortable and happy? Where does the pet typically sleep (in a crate, on a bed, in a specific room)? Do they have a favorite blanket or spot? Does the pet experience separation anxiety, and if so, what helps soothe them? Are there other pets in the home, or will the pet be interacting with other animals during their stay? How do they get along with other dogs, cats, or small animals? Will there be any other people coming to the house during the pet’s stay? Does the pet have any issues with strangers or guests? Are there any rooms or furniture that the pet is not allowed in/on? Do they have free roam of the house, or are certain areas restricted? Are they fully potty trained, or do they need reminders to go outside? Is there a designated potty area for outdoor pets? Is there a backup contact in case of an emergency if the owner cannot be reached?
A typical day
I take dogs on long walks or hikes through parks or trails where they can explore new scents and enjoy the outdoors. Classic games like fetch or tug-of-war keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. If the dog loves water, we can enjoy some splash time with sprinklers, small kiddie pools, or a trip to a dog-friendly lake.

I provide one-on-one, personalized care, ensuring each pet gets the attention and love they deserve. I have experience with senior pets, dogs with anxiety, and those with special medical or dietary needs. I send daily updates with pictures, so you’re always in the loop about how your pet is doing. I offer flexible scheduling and last-minute bookings, and I’m always reliable—your pet’s care comes first. For active dogs, I can offer long walks, hiking trips, and plenty of playtime, ensuring they’re exercised and entertained.
