Availability
I have a fairly flexible schedule. I prefer late morning drop ins, but am also available for evenings if needed. I am available most holidays and weekends. Please be prepared to do a video "meet and greet", if you require one. My schedule often does not allow for prior in person "meet and greets", especially when booked last minute. If there are injections and/or numerous medications involved in the drop in...please be prepared for the possibility of an additional fee.

About Jesika D.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to stick to your animals routine as much as possible for their comfort and ease...so I always appreciate notes/info about feeding style, energy level, sleeping arrangements. If doing drop ins I am always conscious to hide a key properly and bring in mail on doorsteps.
Information Jesika D. would like to know about your pet
General temperament is good to know. Vet information. Is your pet high or low energy? Animal/people friendly? Ok in the car? Are there any medical concerns or issues? What is your animals ideal day? The more information I get on your pooch/kitty the better I can prepare and cater to your pets particular needs for the best possible visit.
A typical day
Depends on what your dog or cat is up for! Long or short walks, playing with toys or just snuggling on the couch is all fine with me!

Experienced animal lover
Pet care experience
I have recently moved back to Maine from California. I have had/have pets of all kinds. I currently have 1 dog, 2 cats, chickens and two snakes. I have fostered over 48 dogs in the last 5 years(including 4 pregnant moms and then their litters). I have a lot of experience with puppies and seniors requiring specialized care. My cat of 21 years passed several years ago and she required subcutaneous fluids (and meds)every day for years. My senior dog with Cushings disease and Dilated cardio myopathy recently passed. I have experience with most breeds and sizes (from 4 pounds to 120) I have NO breed restrictions! I have worked extensively with highly reactive/triggered dogs as well as shutdown/extremely shy dogs. I also have experience with most farm animals(chickens, goats, horses, sheep, cows, llamas) and am able to do what I call "whole farm check ins" in the greater Portland area.
Reviews
Jesika is amazing. She's kind, trustworthy and takes wonderful care of Kelly. I feel very lucky to have found her. Thanks Jesika!!!
Jesika was great! She communicated very well and was very attentive of Homer's needs.
Jesika was great! Got to meet her before hand, she was communicative through out her visits with pictures and videos.
Jesika was a fantastic, caring, and communicative cat sitter! I really appreciated all of her updates, especially because my cat needs two daily medications. She even cleaned up a huge mess my cat made in between visits, not to mention she watered my plants because they were looking thirsty!! It was such a relief to have someone trustworthy and thoughtful looking after Rey while I was out of town for Thanksgiving. I highly recommend Jesika and look forward to booking with her again in the future!
