About
Hi, I'm Jessica! English by birth, New Yorker by choice, and a total sucker for anything with fur, feathers, or floppy ears! My love affair with animals traces back to childhood (ask my parents about the "rescue mission" phase), and over 20+ years later, I'm still just as obsessed. I've spent those two decades walking, boarding, and generally spoiling dogs of every shape and size, plus cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs along the way. Big dog, small dog, wiggly puppy dignified senior, I love ‘em all
Experience overview
From dogs, to cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, lizards and frogs, my obsession with all animals is lifelong, and throughout my life I’ve personally owned all of the above species, and have now spent at least a decade and a half caring for, walking, feeding, comforting, entertaining, medicating, and snuggling with friends and neighbors’ pets too. Dogs especially have my heart, and I have over 15 years experience of caring for them. I've handled the shy ones who need a little extra coaxing, the drama queens, the zoomie-prone chaos agents, and the too-cool-for-school types — and always win them over. My secret? A gentle, patient, endlessly loving approach that's basically me channeling my inner dog mom (or cat mom, or bunny mom — I don't discriminate). Your pup will get at least two walks a day, often three. Need a place for extra playtime in between? I've got a backyard ready and waiting for zoomies, fetch, or just some good old-fashioned sniffing around. If you're looking for someone who'll treat your pet like family, let's chat — I can't wait to meet your four-legged, whiskered, or floppy-eared friend!
