I treat my pets like family <3
Pet care experience
I have been caring for animals since I was in high school. Friends, family, and strangers have relied on me to care for their cats, dogs, rodents, birds, and lizards for years. My animals are my babies and they are treated as such. I love spending time with other peoples' animals just about as much as I do my own. When your pets are in my care, they are given the highest quality of care. My clients become like family - I will check in with you to see how your fur babies are doing and if you need me for anything.
Reviews
Jessica made me feel totally comfortable leaving my baby basset. He definitely felt the love and had a great time.
Jessica did an excellent job caring for both my senior dog and cat. They both have cancer and require medications daily. I would definitely use her again!
Jessica was so sweet and loving to my little dogs. They are very nervous when I’m not around. She made a special place for them, gave them extra attention and love. I think she went above and beyond to make their stay with her feel like home. I would definitely use her services again.
Jessica is caring, attentive, and responsible. She is sensitive to cats and immediately gained the trust of one of mine. The other took a few days longer, but both were very well cared for and loved. Recommend her highly.

Safety, trust & environment
At my home, I have a fenced-in backyard and cameras. I also have a spare room that allows for slow and controlled introductions between client pets and my own personal animals. While my pets are allowed in the fenced-in yard by themselves, I never leave client pets alone to ensure they don't dig out of the yard and get lost. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I follow any and all instructions the client gives.
Home
Information Jessica S. would like to know about your pet
I always appreciate having "too much" information rather than not enough. It is imperative that I am informed about any special diets, health needs, or behavioral concerns ahead of time. I can typically accommodate any need as long as I am aware of the need prior to the visit. Animals that are aggressive toward people or other animals are not a good fit in my home. I can administer oral medication to cats and dogs. I can also accommodate the need for other types of medication (ear wash/drops, skin spray, etc.)
A typical day
I like to take cues from the animals that I watch when it comes to our activities. Some of the pets I care for want to snuggle up on the couch with me and I'm always game for that. Others like to play fetch and run around the backyard... I am happy to oblige!

Availability
I am a teacher in Micanopy. My work schedule is 7:00-3:30 Monday through Friday. I have the ability to do drop-ins before and after work (location dependant) as well as boarding/housesitting throughout the week. My house contains three pet-loving adults, so when a pet stays in my home they are never alone. I'm typically available every weekend, holiday break, and summer as well.
