About: With over 24 years of experience caring for pets, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny lap pups to giant breeds—and a variety of cat personalities. I’m especially familiar with breeds like German Shepherds, bully breeds, Huskies, Golden Retrievers, herding dogs, and mixed breeds. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m confident with senior pets and those with special needs. At home, I live with two dogs (30 and 120 pounds) and two American Shorthair cats, so I truly understand the day-to-day needs of pets. I love animals for their companionship and quirks, and I’m always learning about animal behavior to better connect with each pet I meet. Friends jokingly call me the "dog whisperer"—I just call it passion and patience! Pet care fits naturally into my routine year-round. I work in education, so during the summer months I’m off and have plenty of flexibility. I easily fit pet care between my tutoring schedule, allowing me to take on walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. During the school year, I’m available in the evenings and on weekends for drop-ins, and I can still accommodate house sitting with advanced notice and planning. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy making time for. When I house sit, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their routine as closely as possible. I ask for detailed information, including preferred potty spots, known commands, feeding schedules, and any behavioral quirks that may affect their day-to-day care. I keep pet parents updated with regular photos and videos and maintain open communication at all times to ensure peace of mind. My goal is to provide the same love, structure, and attention pets receive when their family is home.
“I'm first time hiring a sitter for my cat who is with me for 4.5 years. I took my 6 months dog with me to Cancun as I was worrying so much that someone can't take care well of my babies when together as they can be a problem as a team home alone. From the moment I met Jessica during meet and great, I felt at ease knowing my cat was in great hands. Jessica took the time to get to know my cat, and spent time playing with him during her visits. And watered my plants 🪴 ☺️ Throughout the stay, Jessica provided regular updates and adorable photos, which really eased my mind while I was away. She was attentive to Dandy's needs, ensuring he were fed, litter box was clean, and that Dandy received plenty of love and play. It was clear that Jessica has a genuine passion for animals. When I returned home, Dandy was happy and relaxed, looking like he had a vocation as well!! He is a whole new cat now, less grumpy more playful and looks so happy. I will definitely be booking Jessica again in the future, and will be happy if she will take care of my precious pup as well. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my kitty! 💕”
“Jessica did an phenomenal job. She went above and beyond!”
“Kathleen was always on time, took many photos and gave me a report after each drop in visit. I will be using her again for sure!”
