Availability

Working from home allows me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care for furry friends throughout the day. My schedule is structured to accommodate regular breaks, which are perfect for walks, feeding, playtime, or simply spending quality time with your pup. This setup ensures I’m available for midday potty breaks, timely meals, and maintaining your pup’s normal routine. As a proud fur baby of a 4-year-old Poochon, Max, I understand firsthand the love and attention pets need to thrive. My experience caring for my own fur baby has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a nurturing environment. I can seamlessly integrate your pup into my daily routine to ensure your pup feels safe, loved, and at ease.

Jessica and Maxie were absolutely fabulous!!! Jessica did everything right. She treated Bentley as thought he was her very own. I received constant photo updates that let me know that Bentley was just fine in her loving care. I will definitely call on Jessica to keep Bentley again whether it is for overnight or multiple days. Gratefully Bernie Smalls

We had a fantastic experience boarding our dog, Bob, with Jessica and her sweet dog, Max, for six days. Jessica went above and beyond—she walked Bob even in the rain, made sure he took his medication, and somehow even convinced him to wear his coat (a miracle in itself!). She sent thoughtful updates, and it was clear Bob felt completely at home. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!

Jessica was an amazing sitter! She treated my baby like he was her own, giving him so much love and attention. Her attention to care and detail is unmatched — she went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. I had total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I can’t recommend Jessica enough!
