Energetic & loving buddy!
Pet care experience
Dog-owner for over 10 years. 12 years of dog-sitting/walking experience from tiny to giant! Successful training of and caring for special needs, hyper-active, and/or high-anxiety dogs. Understanding of dietary restrictions and safety. Respect for animals and a lot of energy and love to give! Responsible, dependable, and punctual. In Michigan, I owned a dog and was a doggy foster home on occasion. My little guy was my best friend and after 10 years of loyalty and love, he passed away in 2011. I continued to dog-sit for folks in my region until I moved to Colorado in 2013 where I petsat/walked for Rover for three years. Since coming back to Michigan in 2018, am back in Michigan and I am loving hanging out with local cats and dogs! I have been a dog-sitter for all types from those who are jittery or anxious, to dogs needing medications post-surgery or for treatment, to those that are just needing someone to feed or walk them! For two years I cared for a special needs dog from about 12 weeks old. He was deaf and partially blind and I was able to house-train him as well as teach him a variety of other "tricks." This could only be accomplished through patience, love, and an understanding of how to train puppies. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of needs such as dietary restrictions, health issues, and special needs dogs. I'm available to stick around the house as long as you need, including overnight stays, and am very active so I can keep up with any energy-level!
Reviews
Jessica was awesome and very communicative. I swear the house was cleaner when I came back vs. when I left!
Hagrid can be a handful, and Jessica made it seem easy. Will definitely use her again.
We first found Jessica two years ago, and she's been our go-to sitter for overnights and midday walkies ever since. She's reliable, respectful of our home, communicative, and our two doggos love her. They used to be stressed every time we'd come home from a trip, but with Jessica they're just as happy as they were when we left. We wholeheartedly recommend her!
Jessica is great with Roger. She sends updates and makes sure we know everything went well.

Information Jessica S. would like to know about your pet
Behavioral history, temperament, and whether there are any health, physical or dietary restrictions. Also, anything your dog loves in particular (or really doesn't).
A typical day
Run, walk, play fetch, toss the frisbee around, tug-of-war. I enjoy parks, dog-parks, and walking trails, but will walk/run around whichever safe places are near your home.
