“Jessica was the most amazing overnight pet sitter I’ve had the pleasure to work with! Instead of being a straightforward case, I had to throw her a number of curveballs, which Jessica was an absolute pro in handling, with a level of kindness, patience and understanding that is rare to come across. She is just a great person and I am grateful I entrusted my fur babies with her! Thank you again and again, Jessica!!”

About: As an animal lover, I truly feel that being around animals is my happiest place. For the past six years, I've cared for three German Shepherds and a cat-both during the day and overnight. Not only did I enjoy it, but I genuinely craved the relationship. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone-not just with your beloved animals, but also with your home. That's why I take pride in being reliable, respectful, and attentive. I hope to meet you soon. 1. Morning Walks & Feeding: I start my day early, so morning walks and feedings are easy to fit into my routine. I enjoy getting fresh air and movement first thing, and pet care fits perfectly into that rhythm. 2. Midday Check-ins or Playtime: I often work from home or have a flexible midday schedule, so I can do potty breaks, walks, or play sessions during lunch hours. These breaks actually energize me and give structure to my day. 3. Evening Wind-down: Evening walks, dinner, and some cuddle time are a nice way to unwind from the day. I usually reserve evenings for low-stress activities, and spending time with pets is relaxing and fulfilling. 4. Sleepover Flexibility: I'm available for overnight stays when needed and plan ahead to ensure I'm fully present for the pets in my care. Routine and Comfort I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime—so they feel safe and secure. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and energy level, adjusting my approach to meet their needs. 🍽️ Feeding and Hydration I prepare meals according to the client’s instructions and make sure fresh water is always available. I double-check feeding schedules and portion sizes to ensure consistency. 🧼 Cleanliness and Hygiene I clean up after the pets—litter boxes, food bowls, toys, and accidents if they happen—so the home stays tidy. I wipe paws if needed after walks and make sure pets are comfortable and clean. 🎾 Exercise and Enrichment I play with dogs or cats to keep them active and engaged—walks, toys, fetch, laser pointers, or cuddles depending on what they love. If the pet is older or has health needs, I provide gentle interaction and quiet companionship. 🩺 Health and Safety I monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health, and I contact the owner immediately if anything seems off. I’m comfortable administering medication if needed (oral, topical, or injection, depending on my experience and your instructions). 📝 Communication and Updates I send daily updates with photos or videos so clients can feel at ease while they’re away. I’m responsive and available for check-ins or questions during the sit. 🛋️ Respect for the Home I treat the home with the same care and respect I would want in mine—tidy, secure, and peaceful. I follow house rules (lights, trash, alarms, etc.) and always leave the home in great shape.

“Sean watched Marley in our home and I got exactly what I was expecting. He was attentive to Marely and his needs...and mine. I love updates, and Sean provided them. He respected my home, and I will definitely be using him again.”


About: My parents have had cats and dogs my entire life, and when I turned 20, I started helping my friends, family, and neighbors with their animals too! I love caring for all animals and it brings me so much joy to do so. I want to give you peace of mind that your animals are in good hands! I will always follow your instructions, ask questions, and care for your animals as if they were my own. I have experience with all type of dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and even some turtles! I normally work 9-5 Monday through Friday, but I am lucky to have a wonderful and adaptable job. I can easily work different hours to accommodate whatever is needed! I do prefer evenings, weekends, or holidays though! I generally go to the clients home, as I have my own pets that get a little silly with others. However, I know that this can be very difficult for some people. As a private person myself, I always ensure that I treat people's homes with the utmost respect and consideration. I will always clean up after myself and ensure that the home is as I found it (if not cleaner, as I have a tendency to wipe everything down!).
