Pet care experience

Loving care for your pets!

I have had pets almost my entire life. When I was young, I had guinea pigs, mice, rats, hamsters, and gerbils. As an adult, we have had a dog, cat, rats, and a bearded dragon. We also spent a year and a half fostering cats and kittens for the SPCA when we lived in Virginia. After the loss of our dog and cat at age 14, we feel we do not wish to open our home to another pet permanently, but miss having a pet to spoil! I have periodically provided overnight care to a friends dogs, but would love to open up our home to other pets whose owners needed short or long term care for their pet!

We had a great experience boarding our dog with Jessica! Felt very comfortable and my dog was very happy. Communication was great pick up and drop off very easy.

Jessica was an awesome sitter for Zin and Freya! They came back home very happy and with tails wagging. Jessica also accommodated pickup and drop off at our house, which was an immense help to us! She kept in constant contact throughout our dogs' stay and sent pictures. We would use Jessica again without hesitation!

Jessica is an excellent sitter. She quickly made friends with my dog and she gently introduced him to her household members. She provided periodic updates with pictures which was reassuring given the short adjustment period. She was sensitive to my dog’s needs and gained his affection by letting him feel and act like he was at home. I would highly recommend Jessica as a dog sitter.

This was the longest we left our old man Gordon in a long time especially with someone he was unfamiliar with, and Jessica and her family did so great making our guy feel safe and at home! We will definitely book again. Thank you!

Schedule

I work almost full time, but when I am not at home, my 24 and 27 year old sons are, and they adore all animals and love helping out. There will always be someone in the home to attend to the needs of your pet!

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your pets as my own. They will be allowed free roam of the home and back yard. (dogs outdoors, not cats of course!) Pets are always allowed on the furniture in our home as well, and my son is more than happy to have them sleep in his room if they want to. Feeding schedule, etc will be based on however it is usually done in your home so it is an easier transition for your pet to be in our home.

A typical day

I will play with your dogs at whatever level they prefer. I may take them on walks depending on the weather and their interest level.
