Pet care experience

Fun and energetic animal-lover!

I'm an active, responsible and kind 37 year old woman who loves all animals! I enjoy going for walks and hikes on my own as well, but it's nice to have the added company of a dog without the responsibility of owning one full-time. I regularly walk my friends' and neighbours' dogs when they're out of town or working long hours, and have experience handling high energy levels - I enjoy the exercise. I'll make sure to only take them places you're comfortable with, only let them interact with other dogs/people if you say it's ok, and I'll send photos/updates to make you feel more at ease. I'll bring extra water and a container for them if I take them to a trail in the car, some of their favourite treats if they're allowed, and any of their favourite toys if they have any. If you let me know of any possible behaviour problems I'll know to watch out for those things and avoid possible triggers (ie. chasing cars, being territorial with other dogs, jumping up on people, etc.) I also love cats, if you need me to stop by to feed/play with your cat as well it's no trouble at all! Winter-specific: I'll make sure to keep an eye on your dog for shivering and discomfort, and if they seem uncomfortable in the cold, I'll contact you right away to get your input on whether we should return from the walk. Also, I'll make sure they're not eating snow near the street where there could be salt mixed in, and I'll wipe their paws with a hand towel to make sure they don't lick salt/chemicals off their paws.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a cat, who is very spoiled. He gets his food measured, wet food once per day with a little bit of water mixed in for hydration, and playtime every day. We don’t have a dog, but all of our friends have dogs, and my in laws have dogs. I have lots of experience walking dogs.

Gessica has given us peace of mind, knowing our dog is being cared for as he enters into his golden years...... Would absolutely recommend her services.

Gessica is wonderful with my dog Koda, he loves her! He is very hyperactive and needs more attention then most dogs which Gessica accommodates. She is very reliable and very good with animals.

I would like to know how they behave around other dogs and people - Do we need to avoid them on our walks or are they ok to say hi as long as it's ok with the other dog owner? What is his/her energy level? Do they have any behavioural tendencies, like face licking, mouthing, biting, barking at other dogs, chasing cars or squirrels, running away if they're off-leash, etc? What's your usual walking style - Does he/she pull, do you give little or a lot of slack on the leash? If they regularly go off-leash in dog parks, what command makes them come back? If you'd like me to feed them, when do they need to be fed and how much? I also have a few winter-specific questions! How does your dog do in the cold weather - do you have any outerwear or booties you'd like me to put on them before our walk? Do you have a hand towel I can use to wipe their paws if they get snow and salt on them?
