We are Jay and Jessy! Both of us are PhD student researchers at the University of Waterloo with flexible schedules - allowing us to spend much of our time at home. We have each grown up with dogs and are missing the companionship of having animals around. Unfortunately, we cannot have a dog of our own because as researchers we have to travel multiple times a year. We are both very active individuals who enjoy hiking, walking and being outdoors. Additionally, Jay has experience fostering cats while he lived in New Brunswick for his undergrad. We would absolutely love to spend time taking care of your animals while we are in Waterloo, as we have done for our family dogs when we lived closer to home.
