Pet care experience
I had cats and dogs growing up that I took care of and I have also done dog sitting many times for friends and neighbors over the years. I have helped train puppies as well and had a cat of my own for several years in my 20s. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets so I am very comfortable with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I really love animals and will treat your pet with lots of care and love.
Reviews
Jessilyn is awesome! I am a first time cat parent, so I had a lot of questions (and anxiety) about pet sitting. Jessilyn came over for a meet and greet, and my cat, Fiona, immediately took to her—which made me feel tons better. While on my trip, Jessilyn sent me pictures, videos, and told me a few cute stories about Fiona! It really put me at ease. I couldn’t have stepped away and done the things I needed to do without Jessilyn’s trust, support, and expertise. She also was so incredibly kind to tidy up the house before leaving. Truly the best—THANK YOU!! :)
Thanks again!!!!!
Jessilyn was very professional. She was on top of the communication in a timely manner and sent us lots of updates on our dog and his time with her. Very please with her services.
Jessilyn took very good care of our 2 dogs. She sent a video of her drop-in visit in which both dogs were being playful and appeared very comfortable with her. Even our cockatiel was chirping happily. I highly recommend Jessilyn.

Safety, trust & environment
For in-home care, I carefully follow what you want for your pet as you know them best. I love to play and snuggle with the pets I watch, if they like that. I am very attentive to their needs and they always come first. I am very respectful of your things and privacy while visiting or staying in your home and will always leave it clean and tidy. I am also happy to collect the mail, water plants etc. while you are away.
Information Jessilyn H. would like to know about your pet
I like to know about your dog or cat’s personality, likes, dislikes, what activities they enjoy etc. Also dietary needs or concerns is important as well as how they interact with other animals. Their training level is also good to know so that I am aware of any safety issues. My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible and the overall experience for them fun, safe and easy.
A typical day
A typical day with me consists of a lot of outdoor time for the dogs I care for. I take them for frequent walks around the neighborhood, (usually including to at least one park), so they can check out all the sights and most importantly the smells. If we have more time together, I will take them out for a nice hike on one of the many beautiful trails we have on the North Shore or to one of the local dog-friendly beaches (with consent of course).
