Depending on the number of animals, location and timing of sit, I occasionally accept free house sits and/or a stipend. Rates negotiable depending on number of animals and the level of care.

Your precious ones deserve to be treated like royalty! They are divine and deserve only the best. I have a special connection and way with animals.
Coming from a family of dog lovers, my mom took in rescues and my great aunt was a breeder and international dog judge. I had a very sweet cat named Lilly Anne who passed in 2018. I still miss her. I have 10 years experience cat, dog, bird and house sitting, including administrating medicine. I'm comfortable around horses and I foster cats.
I am a creative and work remotely as a writer. I practice astrology, yoga, Qi Gong and somatic expressive arts. I have a filmmaking and photography background, so I enjoy taking photos of people's pets. I am an international traveler and I enjoy spending time with animals and nature. I love to run, swim and dance. I live a completely clean lifestyle, drug and alcohol free. I prefer clear open communication and clean well looked after spaces with good energy. I appreciate a beautiful artistic home and I try to be respectful of other people's spaces. I love plants, herbs and gardens.
TESTIMONIALS:
Since I am relatively new to this website, I have added additional testimonials below. I am also happy to provide contact information for references and a link to my Airbnb reviews and other pet sitting sites
"My dear Luna clearly adored Jessica-Sue — even before I set foot out the door to head for the airport. (I still hate leaving Luna behind…) The precious photos she sent me helped me not to worry (even though I knew I didn’t have to worry), and I could see the bond they had formed when I returned home eleven days later. But first came trust — of utmost importance. We corresponded and had a video call, and Jessica-Sue arrived the night before my departure. (I recommend this highly. It allowed me to leave Luna and home with confidence, completely without guilt or worry.) I know Jessica-Sue enjoyed being in my home, and my home and I enjoyed her stay! I’ll look forward to welcoming Jessica-Sue any time!."

“JessicaSue is definitely a cat person. I’ve known her for over 20 years, and she has cared for our cats several times. She really knows how to relate to them, and our cats, Bebop and Coltrane, love her. When we return home, they are calm and happy. Jessica-Sue is also extremely responsible and took good care of our place. Highly recommended!”
—Pierre and Max, San Francisco and New York, October 2023
"Jessica-Sue was on top of everything & followed my guidelines precisely. It’s a pleasure knowing Noa was so well cared for & my home was in good hands. I’m grateful!"
—Patti, Trusted House Sitters, Asheville, NC, April 2024
"Jessica-Sue responded to a short notice request for someone to watch our just-adopted kittens. I was so grateful for her kindness and thoughtfulness. She tools great care of the house and the kittens and communicated regularly (which was key because we were nervous new cat parents!) she had lists of questions to make sure she knew everything she needed to and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend her!"

"Jessica-Sue did some volunteering for our cat rescue group in Brooklyn and she proved to be both reliable and compassionate. She really cared about the well-being of the cat she fostered —he required daily pill medications and a particular food—and she asked questions and took her responsibilities seriously! It is great that J-S is available to help with fostering for a rescue group or shelter while she has no pets of her own at this time. Good fosters are not easy to find and are an integral part of rescue."
—Maria Rozos, Board Secretary of Infinite Hope
"Jessica-Sue is a true animal lover. I have been a cat sitter for her feline and have been impressed with how she has fostered and cared for another cat in need of a home. She is dependable, conscious, and sensitive to the needs of animals. I highly recommend her services."
—Michelle Shulman, Pet Sitter on House Sitters America
“I have known Jessica-Sue for over 5 years. We were in a performance workshop together and maintained contact primarily because of our love of animals. Jessica-Sue has taken care of my cat, Olive, at her apartment for week long time-periods while I was out of town. I know her to be a kind and responsible caretaker. My cat is always bright and content when I return home, and I am grateful knowing I can entrust my cat to Jessica-Sue’s care without worry.”
—Jil, Newark, New Jersey
