If you're considering Jessica to watch your pets, you are on the right track. I say go ahead and do it. I have not found another pet sitter as sweet, loving, patient and caring as Jessica. She has a lovely family too, which helps. Her husband is also wonderful with pets and their daughter is just the sweetest thing who wants to share all her toys with your dog(s) and is so gentle and loving. During our three day trip to Florida, for the first time ever did I feel at ease, knowing my dog was in good hands. I don't even need options any more (unless Jessica is unavailable, of course) when I have to think of where to leave my dog next time we're going out of town and can't take her with us. Do yourself and your pets a huge favor and hire Jessica Ward as your sitter/walker.
