Jen, The Pet Fairy

From a childhood filled with animals to a globally trusted pet-sitting professional, Jen has spent her life devoted to the care and well-being of pets. Growing up, she traveled with her father to equestrian events, developing a deep appreciation for animals of all kinds—horses, dogs, rabbits, ducks, and even hermit crabs. That early love transformed into a lifelong passion and career in veterinary medicine and pet care.

With over a decade in the veterinary industry, Jen worked across multiple roles, from Medical Receptionist to Veterinary Assistant and eventually managing a thriving veterinary hospital. She gained extensive medical knowledge, hands-on experience in pet health, and crisis management skills, all of which set her apart as a pet-sitting professional.

However, Jen saw a gap in traditional pet care—many animals experience stress when their owners leave, whether in boarding facilities or unfamiliar environments. She knew there had to be a better way. That’s when she created The Pet Fairy, a premium pet-sitting service focused on providing exceptional, stress-free care in the comfort of home.

Now, Jen and her husband, Jon, offer their expertise worldwide, providing trusted, personalized pet and home care from the U.S. to Ireland and beyond. Whether it’s administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness, or creating a calm, enriching experience through therapeutic techniques like soothing music and positive reinforcement, their approach ensures that pets feel secure, loved, and cared for—no matter where their owners may be.

At The Pet Fairy, every pet, plant, and home is treated with the same level of dedication and respect as if you never left. This is more than pet-sitting—it's peace of mind, rooted in experience, trust, and genuine love.

Jon, The Pet Fairy

While Jon’s professional background is in business analysis, his heart has always belonged to animals. As much a part of The Pet Fairy as Jen, Jon is a driving force behind the care, trust, and attention to detail that define their business. His philosophy is simple: the way a person treats animals speaks volumes about their character. This belief fuels his passion for providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for every pet in their care.

Jon’s natural kindness, patience, and deep empathy for animals make him an invaluable asset to The Pet Fairy. Whether it’s offering belly rubs to an anxious pup, ensuring a cat gets their medication on time, or simply sitting quietly with a pet who needs comfort, Jon approaches every furry client with genuine love and care—as if they were his own.

The Pet Fairy’s story would not be complete without mentioning their beloved orange cat, Moose, who was the heart of their home and an endless source of love, mischief, and inspiration. Though he has since crossed the rainbow bridge, his spirit lives on in everything they do—reminding them daily of why they dedicate their lives to caring for animals with the same love and devotion he always received.

Jessica, CVT

Jessica’s love for animals began in childhood, helping her father and grandfather train scent hounds. But while dogs were part of her past, her true passion is feline care—she adores their aloof elegance, quiet sophistication, and unapologetic attitude.

With over 20 years as a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT), Jessica specializes in pop-in visits for cats, focusing on those with special needs or medical care. As a longtime trusted Pet Fairy, she understands every cat's quirks—whether they crave quiet companionship, playful antics, or royal-level pampering.

Jessica does not do Fairy Dreams Overnight Pet-Sitting (because as much as she loves cats, she has four daughters of her own who rule the household just as fiercely as any cat ever could!). With a lifetime spent under the rule of her own five feline overlords (and two dogs), she deeply understands the quirks, preferences, and needs of every cat she cares for. When she’s not spoiling her feline clients, she’s cheering at sporting events, glamping on the Chesapeake, or hunting down the next great foodie spot.

For a sitter who speaks fluent cat, Jessica is the best!
