Safety, trust & environment

When pets are with me, their safety and comfort always come first. At my home, pets have a cozy and clean environment where they can relax and feel at ease — I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they always have fresh water, a safe space to rest, and plenty of love and attention. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I respect your space and make sure your pet feels secure, happy, and cared for. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾💙

Information Jessica S. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know about their routine, personality, and any special needs. Do they have favorite activities or toys? Are there things that make them anxious or uncomfortable? Do they take any medications or follow a special diet? The more I know, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. 💕

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about comfort, fun, and care! Your pet will enjoy playtime, walks (if they like them), and lots of cuddles. I always make sure they feel at home, whether it’s relaxing on the couch, playing with their favorite toys, or just keeping them company. I follow their usual routine as much as possible, so they feel safe and loved.

Pets Feel at Home with Me 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi! We’re Jessica and Marina, 34 and 33 years old. We’re absolutely passionate about animals! 🐾❤️! I’m a proud dog mom to Bartolomeu, my 8-year-old French Bulldog, who has taught me so much about love, care, and responsibility. I know how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your furry best friend while you’re away. My passion for pet sitting started when I was looking for someone to watch Bartô and couldn’t find the kind of genuine care I wanted for him. With me, every pet is treated like family. I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved — I always say the house is theirs, and I’m just a guest passing through. 💕 If you’re looking for someone who truly loves and respects animals, you can trust that your pet will be in great hands with me! I have experience caring for pets with special needs, including giving medication and supporting dogs after surgery. I understand how important it is to be patient, gentle, and attentive in these situations. Along with daily care and play, I make sure pets with medical needs feel safe, comfortable, and loved — always following the owner’s instructions carefully.

Amazing experience! So kind and gentle with my Brooklyn. Constantly in contact and sending photos/videos which I really appreciated! Brooklyn got along so well with the frenchie they had, and was so comfortable right away with them, taking up the whole couch! We’re so happy! Will be back!
