“Jess is fantastic, and the dogs always love when she comes over!!. She's a good communicator, and is so patient and loving with the pups, she will definitely be invited back!”


About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I have owned and cared for many dogs and cats, and currently have 3 sweet pups and 2 silly cats. I love active animals and more docile animals alike. Playing with toys with animals and taking them outside if needed is something I love doing. I care about the well-being of all animals and consider it very important that their lives are enjoyable and they are happy. I currently substitute teach, so my schedule is usually pretty open. I want to help pets out as much as possible, so I will make myself available as often as I can. I am a very attentive caregiver. I will follow your rules and allow plenty of fun and space for your pet. I always make sure there is enough food and water and ensure everyone and everything is as safe as possible.

About: I've taken care of a wide variety of pups since I was a child. Friends and family have relied on me for the care of their beloved fur children, and I never take it lightly. I treat them all like I treat my own - with love. All dogs deserve the best care, and I do my very best to give it. I look forward to befriending you and your fur family! Caring for your beloved pets is my full time job, so take comfort in knowing that I am fully invested in them ☺️ I am available for day care, weekend care, or long term care. Your pets are loved as my own! My husband, Brandon, and I and our 2 boys (15 & 9) live on 5 acres of woods and meadow, including a fenced in paddock attached to the house. We use the property daily for walks, playing, and farm animal adventures. I have 3 dogs of my own, 2 young livestock guardians and a recently rescued lap pup who's learning the ways. I can easily crate/separate/rotate dogs if needed, otherwise everyone is encouraged to explore and be adventurous about the house and property!
