Pet care experience

We treat your pets like family!

I've been taking care of pets of all kinds since I was a kid. I'm currently a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Iowa. I've fostered both cats (kittens) and dogs (puppies). I have a very large catio that cats can enjoy the fresh air and birds chirping. I've got a fenced in yard for dogs to get some exercise. I have my own pets that enjoy (and are used to having) other animals in the home. My dog, Rip, loves playing with other dogs and shares his bed and toys with any new comers. I'm also experienced in animals that don't get along. I have enough space to separate, if necessary, without the need to use a kennel or basement.

Jessica was everything I had been looking for in a sitter for my girl. I am grateful to have someone I can trust to watch her when I am out of town.

Jessica watched Benson for me for over a week while I went on a cruise. She constantly sent pictures, videos, and updates everyday. Benson loved staying with her and we will definitely be using her in the future!!

All 5 stars every time! Jessica has watched my doggo multiple times and we both just adore her. She does such a good job with her. I get frequent updates, she’s so flexible when my plans change, and you cannot put a price on trusting someone with your beloved pet.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home - I have a very large catio that cats can enjoy the fresh air and birds chirping. I've got a fenced in yard for dogs to get some exercise. I have my own pets that enjoy (and are used to having) other animals in the home. My dog, Rip, loves playing with other dogs and shares his bed and toys with any new comers. I'm also experienced in animals that don't get along. I have enough space to separate, if necessary, without the need to use a kennel or basement.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day will start early. We get up, stretch, eat, and play outside for a little bit. On a weekday, I go to work for a couple hours and come home on my lunch hour. While I'm gone, I let pets stay where they're most comfortable (i.e. free roam on the couch, my bedroom, kennel). On a weekend we may go for a morning walk.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only

Let me know if you're dog has specific needs that I can account for. I do not have any breed restrictions at this time. If your dog prefers quiet, let me know that as well. I have special space for relaxation.
