Animal Degree w/ Shelter experience

Pet care experience

Hello! I have been "the animal lover" since I can remember! I was the neighborhood dog walker, pet sitter, wildlife lover, etc. I have my college degree in Animal Ecology and have a year of animal care experience at an animal shelter as well as a year of experience working on the medical team at the same shelter. So, you not only can trust me to give your animals the best care and love but also the knowledge to detect any abnormalities. I have owned my own dog, which I adopted. for almost two years now as well as I have 2 cats. All are animal and people friendly! I look forward to meeting each and everyone's animals!

Jade did a great job with my cats. She sent daily pictures and updates, putting my mind at ease while I was away. She gave them lots of love and attention!

My dog had a great time with Jade - she sent plenty of pictures and kept us updated on anything important. I'd definitely recommend her for pet-sitting.

I will be home the majority of the time if your animal is in my care. I can crate if needed and would always keep your animal separate from mine if I needed to go somewhere. I will follow strict instructions/rules from each fur baby's parent but also come up with my own enrichment to keep everyone's brains busy throughout the day. Walks, runs, food enrichment, toy enrichment, and lots and lots of love.

Let me know if your animal has any preferences on what they like and don't like! I will be sure to note any special needs and follow those directives.

A typical day

I am eager to take your dog on walks, explore the neigborhood/local parks, maybe a pup cup if approved by mom/dad! We will have play time, enrichment time, and 100% cuddle time.

Availability

I am currently on break for a few months from my medical position at the shelter due to moving to lacrosse temporarily. So I am eager to get my animal business started and hopefully make this my sole job while I am here. With my shelter experience, I have worked with nearly all dog breeds and behaviors. There isn't much I can't handle! Your animals would have my full attention each and every day.
