Attentive and nurturing pet sitter
Pet care experience
I grew up on a ranch with livestock, horses and working dogs. Our dogs were well cared for and respected as they were trained to cut cattle, keep livestock safe and to protect property. In high school and college, I would house and pet sit (cats, dogs livestock and horses) to make extra money. Moving away from the country and becoming more urbanized, I’ve enjoyed the company of my four legged family of all ages, sizes and breeds whether under my roof or pet/housesitting for others. It takes a special nurturing person to emotionally support and physically care for animals. I would expect an ideal caretaker to be confident, with gentle energy but firm boundaries, a consistent message and respectful of the dog. As a result, I believe dogs (all animals) feel this in their caretaker and will respond accordingly. Therefore, I prefer to meet one on one and let your dog have a say in it. I am able to provide transportation to vet and groomer appointments, administer meds and prepare customized meals. I am solid! If you chose to work with me, you will find that I am dependable, trustworthy and genuine; all of which are great attributes appreciated by both humans and canine alike. Now in my fifties, retired with my kids grown, I am excited to spend time taking care of your 4 legged family members. I have a clear and current background check on file with Rover.com. I am a retired Fortune 500 corporate manager, licensed CAM property manager and licensed real estate broker. Note- I am allergic to some breeds of cats; but not all. Even though I am able to do short day visits, I am unable to provide overnight pet sitting service for homes with cats.
Reviews
Jesslyn was terrific with our 3 dogs and 2 cats. Great communication and animals loved her. We will definitely be using her again!
Jess is the BEST dog sitter that’s out there! She went above and beyond helping my baby to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. We left for a week and she kept me up to date with texts, photos, videos, and lots of updates. It was great peace of mind to know that someone like Jess was watching it our baby girl.
My two fur babies are incredibly important to me and my family, and I am picky about who I let take care of them (they might be a tad bit spoiled!). Jess cared for my dogs on many occasions and I completely trusted her to meet their spoiled needs and provide them with safe and loving care. She is responsible, willing to go the extra step of cleaning up after them (if needed), and ensure they are well cared for in my absence. I'd highly recommend and trust her to care for your fur babies too!
It’s a pleasure to write this referral for Jess. She’s a kind, loving and considerate dog parent herself. I have a very energetic Lab that she’s taken care of for me and he can’t wait to see her again! She easily manages dogs of all types and temperaments, does not get impatient or frustrated and understands that dogs can become agitated, nervous and afraid when their parent(s) are absent. She’s the best “stand in” when you need to be away. You’ll feel confident that your special pup (and your home) are safe.
