Pet care experience
My name is Jade and I'd love to help you with your pets! I know personally how difficult it can be to make plans and travel with pets, especially in an emergency. My services are limited right now but I'm still dedicated to alleviating your worries and providing stellar service, just reach out and we can see what arrangements can be made! As a manager of a daycare and overnight kennel for a year, I have experience with dogs of all ages and needs. Comfortable with all sizes and temperaments of dogs; as an aspiring animal behaviorist, I am confident in my ability to manage almost any dog! My education consists of a degree in biology and minor in philosophy, where I focused on captive animal welfare, so you can be assured my concern and focus is only on your pets wellbeing. Other experience includes maintaining a research collection of 100+ salamanders for a year, and an internship at the MN zoo. Current services: House sitting: only available on weekends, meet and greet required (may be done at time of arrival before your departure). I will arrive at a designated time and pamper your pet where they're most comfortable while you're away, making sure they're never lonely and your home is looked after. This is a great option for dogs not well socialized with other dogs, anxious or fearful dogs, or elderly dogs. Drop ins: weekends only, meet and greet required, multiple drop-ins in one day will receive a discount. I will arrive at a designated time and stay for 30 or 60 minutes. Drop ins consist of potty breaks, water access, feeding if needed, and enrichment or playtime. 60 minute drop ins consist of an additional walk (optional), 15 minute training session (optional). Grooming: Coming soon! Will include desensitization work and virtual client sessions for dogs fearful at the groomer, especially of nail trims! *All services include a level of positive reinforcement training to maintain and promote good manners in your pet! **Services not limited to dogs. You name it and show me how to care for it, and I most likely can!
Reviews
Jade was everything we wanted and more for our dog…Gridley! Jade was excellent at communicating with me before and during her time with Gridley. We received pictures every day and text messages! I definitely will be using Jade again! Thank you so much for letting Gridley stay home while we were away!
Jade treats my dog as her own- Charlie jumps out of the car to greet her!
Kota got along very well with Jade. From the pictures we received it appeared she made herself right at home without any concerns! :o)
Thanks for taking such good care of Boo! She had a great time and is very tired out from playing :)
About Jade J.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every clients pet as my own. I know how important schedules are to a dog, and how stressful it can be when they're disrupted, especially when the pet is not used to it. I aim to provide support for your pet in your home while you're gone by maintaining their general routine and environment, and using enrichment like puzzle feeders to keep their mind engaged. During drop ins I am to tire your pup out as best I can in a short time to help eliminate any unwanted behaviors!
Information Jade J. would like to know about your pet
In order to provide stellar care for your pet, please provide specifics about their needs and routine. Please include information about any special needs or behavioral concerns, especially if your pet is shy, nervous, or agressive. the more information I have the better our meet and greet will go!
A typical day
Dogs in my home can look forward to being treated like one of the family minutes after walking in the door. They are welcome to a wide variety of toys, and several choice sleeping spots including the couch, the bed, a cooling mat, and their own crate (if supplied) in their own room away from the other dogs. A fenced-in yard provides plenty of outside time and a spacious place for games of fetch.

Availability
Weekdays I currently work 8am-8pm, if this still suits your needs please reach out! Otherwise, weekend services only. But during that time, your pet will be the center of attention- your pet and your own comfort level will determine things like whether or not I run errands or stay home 24/7 with your pet!
