Pet care experience

My name is Jessika, and I moved to the DMV 10 years ago to teach 9th grade Algebra. I currently work at a local public school in Columbia Heights. I graduated from UCLA in 2012, and while at UCLA, I dogsat and catsat for families in the Bel Air/Brentwood/Beverly Hills area. I also did a few sittings in La Jolla, San Diego. My partner Piyush and I are dog lovers and own an 11lb Maltipoo named Max. Many of our friends choose us to take care of their dogs while they are on vacation because they know we will treat their pups like our own. We have experience taking care of small and big dogs, and our pup gets along with all dogs. He loves to play! We have experience administering medication and dealing with separation anxiety.

Jessika and Piyush took great care of our dog, Lucy. I loved getting the daily pictures and updates and could tell she was having a good stay. Thanks for watching her!

Jessika and Piyush were absolutely fantastic with our little Uma. They were extremely accommodating, communicative, and flexible. We could tell Uma was in wonderful hands - and she loved their dog Max! Thank you so much. Highly recommend!!

Jessika and her partner were great! They were lifesavers and flexible with drop-off when we had a last-minute change to our travel plans. Would definitely use them again!
