Pet Care with Training Experience
Pet care experience
I've known dog and cat care was my passion from a very young age. From volunteering at my local vet clinic in middle school to managing Ames Pet Resort, and now I'm also a certified dog trainer. I have over 12 years of experience in companion animal care. These experiences give me the opportunity to work and bond with a huge variety of cats and dogs with varying temperaments and personalities. I love all dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. It is very important to me to form a bond with every animal that I interact with. I have grown up with multiple dogs and cats inside my home and now currently live with my three cats, Cayde, Komet, and Princess, and my dogs, Otto and Raya, in Kelley. I graduated in animal ecology from Iowa State in 2019. In January 2021, I attended Dog Training School at Highland Canine School for Dog Trainers and am now a certified dog trainer for companion dog obedience and behavior modification. I work at Ames Pet Resort from 2017-2024 and spent the last 5 of those years managing the resort.
Reviews
I could not have been happier with how the day went for my 2 girls while staying w Jalyn. She communicated very well throughout from booking to, sending me some beautiful action pictures. I am looking forward to booking w Jalyn again in the future. Mija was actually worn out at the end of the day. Which is not easy to do, so that is greatly appreciated
Jalyn was super with the communication and reliability. She made sure to report on how our older cat was eating, which was a concern of mine. I really appreciated having that information each day. Would absolutely hire Jalyn again!
Ruthie had a great time with Jalyn! Highly recommend.
Jalyn was great! Can't wait to rebook!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a big yard with plenty of room for potty breaks and sniffs. The yard is fenced with a 4-ft. wood panel fence. While I prefer dogs to be crated when alone and at night in my home, your dog will be allowed free roam while I'm gone if you wish as long as they are respectful of house rules: inside is not a bathroom & chewing is for toys only. :) All pets are allowed on any furniture. Guest pets are fed separately from my own.

My life revolves around dogs and cats! This is my full time job so I am almost always home. I prefer bookings to be made at least 3 weeks in advance if possible, but can be flexible!
