About: Hi! I'm Jessica. I've been a stay at home mom for the last 17 years. I have experience with puppies, kittens, young pets, senior pets, high energy dogs, and of course adult pets, and I'd like to meet your pet(s). I've had some type of animal since the day I was born. I have a 4 year old Bulldog named Muddy we've had him since he was a couple months old and a cat named Ink (9years). Ink is a scaredy cat (he adopted us). I have a couple chickens, and some inverts. I've helped raise 2 litters of 9 basset hounds and a couple litters of kittens all before I was 15. I owned a Boxer (duke pictured) for 11 years. I love all types of animals exotics also. I provide walks, playtime, petting, feeding, and all around care. Thank you and I look forward to meeting you and your fur/scale/feather babies. I'm a stay at home mom so my hours are flexible. I make sure to set my schedule so I can care for your pet(s) without the rush. Walks include lots of sniff stops and a couple treats, pups are always kept leashed on walks. Drop-ins include tug and fetch, meals if they need them, and lots of pets. I also change water bowls for both walks and drop ins.
