Work-from-home PhD pet care

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Jessica, and I have more than 20 years of experience taking care of dogs of all kinds and sizes as well as other pets - including cats, rabbits, birds, fish, and even a swan! I'm a PhD who works from home full-time, so I can keep your pet(s) company in your home full time while you're away. Besides the usual feeding, play time, and belly and behind-the-ear rubs, I'm also experienced and comfortable with administering medication. If you're away for an extended vacation, I'll take in the mail and water indoor and outdoor plants if desired. Excellent references available upon request. I'm proud to offer what I call PhD-level pet care. 😄 Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

Jess took care of my elderly cat for a week last year, and she was wonderful! My cat is sweet-natured, but she has thyroid issues and requires medication, and Jess was willing to take that responsibility on and was really good about doing that consistently and keeping my cat company while I was out of state. I appreciated knowing both that my space and my cat were well taken care of, and Jess was kind enough to send me photo updates so I could see how she was doing--and my cat loved her. I would recommend her for both cat- and dog-sitting without reservation!

Jessica has been caring for my two pups Mia and Chubbs during vacations in my home. She has been a fabulous sitter and a friend to my pets who would look forward to her coming over and spending time with them while I was away. My parents also used Jessica when they went away to Florida, and my Dad commented on how his dog Tango was looking for Jessica when they returned home! The best pet sitter so far; my pups were comfortable and content in her care. I would give Jessica a 5 star rating!

Jessica Schnepp has been my dog sitter for years. I highly recommend her. She is a very reliable and responsible person. I never worry about my dog while I am away thanks to Jessica. My dog Zoey loves her!

Jessica has been our pet sitter for our two dogs and one cat for the last 2 years. She is reliable, communicative, responsible, and treats our animals and our home as if they are her own! Our pups absolutely love her and we feel so secure knowing she’s taking great care of them when we’re away. We can’t say enough about what a great pet sitter and awesome person she is. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting or walking services!

I work from home full-time, so I can work in your home and keep your pet company throughout the day. I can also keep them company in the evenings and on weekends, since I also work from home on academic writing projects during those times.

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs or behaviors, including medications if any. I would be happy to meet you and your dog in advance of the booking.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on long and frequent walks (as much as they are used to), playing fetch in the backyard, and of course giving the best belly rubs.

Availability

I work from home full-time, so my schedule is very flexible. Best times for dog-walking are before 9am, between 12-1pm, and after 5pm. I can keep your pets company in the evenings and on the weekends, too, since I start my second at-home "job" (my academic writing) after the at-home 9-5. Your pets will never lack for companionship!
