Safety, trust & environment

I care for your companions right in their own home, where they feel safest. I prioritize creating a calm, secure environment and building trust through gentle, consistent attention. Your beloved family member's comfort and well-being always come first.

Information Jessica W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog, cat, bunny, bird, etc. has any special needs in your first message. I only take on care for animals whose needs I have trained on in my internships. I also prefer that cats stay indoors while I am watching them. This is for their safety due to potential behavior changes while you're away. Thank you!

A typical day

I mirror your furry or feathered friend's usual routine, nurturing their unique personality so they feel comfortable and at ease while you're away.

Heartfelt, Empathic Animal Care

Pet care experience

I am a full time caregiver for animals of all kinds, including years spent interning and volunteering at rescues and sanctuaries. When in these positions I care for about a hundred beautiful beings 24/7, from fluffy little rescued babies all the way to elders like a 23 year old dog. When I am sitting for you, I am only working with and focused on the animals in your household. I offer calm, empathic care, defined by my insight since birth that each and every animal is a unique, sensitive individual worthy of respect and protection.

Dear pet parents of Rover, I know exactly how you feel at this moment: “I want to find a pet sitter that I can trust to take care of my beloved furry family while I am away, but I don’t know who to pick!” We are beyond grateful that we have met Jess. She is a true animal lover, and gives the most attentive care to our 4 senior kitties. We have quite the complicated setup at home since our cats do not all get along, and 2 of them have medications needed everyday. It is very reassuring to have Jess, because she is so good with the specific needs of the individual cats we have, and is very experienced in animal caregiving. When we had Jess watch our cats for a week (staying at the house throughout), we came back to a house cleaner than we had left it. She also started laundry for the bedsheets she used and even took out the trash. We were so amazed by how thoughtful Jess is! If you are having trouble finding someone reliable and kind to watch your pet, please do yourself a favor and book Jess. Your pet will thank you!

Jessica has taken care good care of Penny and Lester my dachshunds on several occasions and they love her. She is reliable, communicates well which puts me at ease while I’m traveling. They have fun playing with balls and toys and go on lots of walks. She has taken extra special care of Penny as she is taking medication and has needed extra outside breaks. It really means a lot to have someone take special care of my pups that is trustworthy and truly cares for my pups while I’m not home and I highly recommend Jessica.

Jess has watched my 5 year old golden retriever, while I was away for four days. Her kindness and attention to animals are truly unmatchable. She communicates effectively and consistency, understands and honors specific directions, and will dedicate her time making your fur baby feel loved in your absence. I highly recommend her!

I've had Jess stay in my home with my three kitty boys and was very pleased with the quality of care she provided to them. She is a true animal lover, and it shows. They were so comfortable with her! She's also really great about sending updates, and she happens to be a wonderful photographer—she sent so many beautiful photos of my boys!
