Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving sitter, enthusiastic walker
I've been in love with cats since the age of 10 from the first meow. My love for dogs arrived a little later, but hit me full force. Every dog I see makes me smile and I make an effort to pet as many as possible. I'm also *that* person who walks or drives by the dog park whenever it's nearby just to enjoy their romping and contagious enjoyment. These days, my brown tabby Zoey and 90 lb ridgeback boxer mix Chester keep my home nice and cozy. My partner Karl is happy to run point at my home if I'm housesitting at yours. I've housesat for multiple cats and dogs since college (back in the nineties!). I've even cared for a pair of tortoises who have their own room, which required daily mopping and extra lettuce. For decades, my friends have relied on my calm and grounded demeanor to accomplish their more difficult routine pet tasks like giving cats pills and claw trims. Bonus: I love to walk! And your dog(s) of any size and I will have a grand time on a jaunt of any length. I'm familiar with neighborhood green spots, county parks, and lakeshore routes.

Safety, trust & environment
Though I'm not able to accommodate your fuzzy dears in my home, I'm delighted to housesit in yours and make them as comfortable as possible while you're away.
Ratings and reviews
Consistent, kind, and wonderful!
Jessica is a great communicator. She took great care of my pup. Highly recommend
Jessica is 100% reliable and cares for my dogs with love and attentiveness. I felt completely confident in leaving for five days with my dogs in her care. She sent me updates and pictures to put me at ease. When I returned home the dogs were happy and that makes me happy. I cannot recommend Jessica highly enough.
She is so, so good with my senior cat, Rosie. Really appreciate Jessica’s care and concern for her. Trustworthy and dependable.
Always dependable and great!
Jessica was a great find for our drop in visit needs for our two cats. She was punctual, caring, and provided great care as well as updates and tons of pictures. We recommend her to other families in need of drop-in care.
