Information Jessica S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know friendliness level, if they have special needs, hiding spots, or anything that particularly scares them. I love all breeds of all sizes & attitudes.

A typical day

Depends on the animals!! Every animal & pet has a different preference. Some cats love to pounce on the ribbons attached to a stick. Others prefer being brushed by an open window. Some dogs love to play with the frisbee. While others would rather got for a walk to sniff every thing with no limits.

Pet care experience

Hello, I’m Jess! With 17 + years of experience in pet care, I’ve had the joy of working with all kinds of animals—furry, scaly, feathery, and even slimy! Caring for them is more than just a job; it’s my passion. Their happiness, health, and well-being are always my top priority. At home, I have two cats, and I miss them like crazy when I’m away—so I completely understand how important it is for your pet to feel loved and cared for. During our visits, I’ll shower them with affection and make sure you’re always in the loop with detailed updates and plenty of pictures. (Trust me, you might end up with more adorable snapshots than you know what to do with!) I’m comfortable handling a wide range of pet care needs, including administering oral & injection medication, senior pet care, reinforcing puppy training, hairless pet skin maintenance, and much more. I’ll treat your pet like my own—giving them the love, attention, and spoiling they deserve, and then some. My goal is to be your pet's best friend while in my care & for you to be as stress and worry free as possible while I'm caring for your babies. :) If you have any further questions or concerns I'm always near my phone and happy to answer! Just PLEASE allow time for a response, I may be working my full time job or speaking with another client. My hands are frequently full as I’m sure you can imagine! Conditions: *I do not offer full hour bookings unless special circumstances* *In the occasion of bad weather (heavy rain, big storms, etc), walks & outdoor activities will be limited. With walks changing to a drop in, we will go outside to go potty, then go inside or to a covered area to play to release energy. Additional charge will apply if you must have a full 30 min walk. I approach each pet according to how our meet and greet goes! If your pet is more on the timid side, I will let them sniff me all over and get acquainted with me. I will not force attention on any animal or force them to be more uncomfortable. It is my goal to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible!

Jess was great with our cats. She sent plenty of pictures, was highly communicative, and followed directions to a t. She was very reliable and I would 100% recommend her.
