“Jessica was absolutely amazing as a house sitter. She was great with our two dogs and they are not the easiest to handle. One is a blind German Shepherd and the other is a skiddish Bernese Mountain Dog. But right away she had them both cuddling up to her. She's a natural. She also took excellent care of the house, was super informative and responsive, and made us feel very confident leaving our dogs and house with her while on vacation. I'd give 6 stars if I could.”
