Meet Jess: The Heartbeat Behind NeuroPaws
Hi, I’m Jess, the creator of NeuroPaws—a space where my love for animals and my neurodivergent journey come together to help others thrive as pet parents.
A bit about me:
I’m a proud neurodivergent adult and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Whether I’m playing fetch with my dog, cuddling with my cat, or volunteering at the local animal shelter, pets are my happy place and my greatest source of comfort.
My hobbies:
When I’m not caring for my own pets, you’ll find me reading about animal behavior, experimenting with pet-friendly recipes, or creating sensory-friendly pet toys. I also love connecting with others in the neurodivergent community and sharing tips to make daily life a little easier.
Why I started NeuroPaws:
I created this site because I noticed that most pet care advice and supplies don’t always fit the unique needs of neurodivergent people. Many of us struggle with routines, sensory overload, or executive function—but that shouldn’t stop us from being amazing pet parents! NeuroPaws is my way of sharing what I’ve learned, making pet care more accessible, and building a supportive community where everyone feels understood.
How NeuroPaws can help you:
- Practical, realistic advice: I break down pet care into manageable steps, with tips for building habits, handling overwhelm, and adapting routines for your unique brain.
- Product recommendations: I review and recommend pet supplies that are easy to use, sensory-friendly, and genuinely helpful for neurodivergent folks.
- Mental health support: I share strategies for using the human-animal bond to boost emotional well-being and offer gentle reminders for self-care as a pet parent.
- Community connection: NeuroPaws is a judgment-free zone! Here, you can find stories from other neurodivergent pet owners, ask questions, and know you’re not alone on your journey.
My intentions for this website:
My goal is simple: to empower neurodivergent adults to enjoy pet ownership without added stress or guilt. But NeuroPaws isn’t just for neurodivergent folks—anyone who loves pets is welcome here! No matter your background or experience, you can find helpful advice, product recommendations, and a supportive community on this site.
Thank you for visiting and for trusting me to be part of your pet care journey. If you have questions, stories to share, or topics you’d like me to cover, please reach out—I’d love to connect!
