Highlights
Pet care experience
Working from home animal lover - W3
I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind pretty much since birth! I grew up with 3 dogs; a Greyhound, Lhasa Apso and Chihuahua, so I am experienced with a variety of dog breeds and sizes. I have also had dogs from puppies up to their last years so I am experienced with all ages. I am experienced with anxious and reactive dogs. I spent 16 years with my chihuahua who had anxiety and little dog syndrome! I can understand dogs and notice signs of anxiety very easily and know how to calm them. All three of my lovely dogs have now passed so I love to pet sit when I can, as I was so used to being around dogs when I was growing up that now I have withdrawals without them! I also have a love for cats and grew up with a ginger Tabby cat. The services I am offering are pet sitting at my own home (day care and nightly stays), and drop in visits if local. I have a lovely spacious 2 bed apartment (house conversion) with 2 large balconies and a large garden (see my photos). The dogs I care for particularly love my garden and spend lots of time running around there.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jessica was amazing from the start of the booking experience to the end. Our's was a very last minute emergency booking and the first time we have used a personal boarding service and on top of that the dog was my Dad's and he didn't want a "stranger" looking after him. Jessica is no stranger now and she took such good care of our boy. We'd recommend her and will use again when we need him looked after.
Our pup made new friends immediately and had a great time! Jessica went above and beyond to accommodate her needs which we really appreciate, and kept us updated with great communication throughout the stay. Thank you :)
Jessica was wonderful with Oscar - she could not have been kinder to think of his every need during the hot weather. We also had the advantage of there being another pug in a neighbouring flat - and I know Oscar loved that! She is brilliant - I highly recommend her.
Poor Poppy had a bit of a dodgy tummy while staying with Jessica (caused before being dropped off!) and she was very well looked after (even with the extra bathroom trips needed...). She had obviously had taken to Jessica very quickly. Would definitely recommend!
Jessica took thoughtful care of my dog Heidi during the London heatwave and communicated well! Would be happy to book again.
Jessica was great with Bruno, he settled well and she kept me updated throughout! I can highly recommend her.

Schedule
I am 27 years old and work from home full time in neuropsychology clinical research, so I am at home most days. I am able to pet sit dogs/cats in my own home while I am working. My job is not too demanding so I will be able to prioritise your dog while I am working and take them for lots of walks and play!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a spacious 2 bed apartment with a large garden in Acton/Ealing Common area. It is nice and comfortable for any dog with everything they need! I also don’t mind the dogs sleeping on my sofa, but if you are training them not to go on sofas, just let me know and I will make sure they don’t. I also like to keep in contact with the owners and will typically update/send you photos of how our day is going once or twice per day. I can do this more or less, just let me know your preference for contact and communication!
A typical day
I will take your dog for lots of walks around the town (if they like walks) and also play with them indoors or outdoors! I also have lots of family and friends with dogs so we can meet up for walks and let the dogs play with each other, but if your dog is not great with other dogs then I can avoid this - just let me know!
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgover 45 kgJessica can host up to 3 pets per night
- I have no preference on types of dogs in terms of breed or size, but if your dog is aggressive or boisterous in anyway please let me know beforehand so that we can discuss.
