Highlights
Pet care experience
Walks & Photography!
I LOVE taking pictures of wild life and pets - take a look at my gallery! ASK ME ABOUT EQUESTRIAN, BIRD AND REPTILE CARE! I’ve had animals since I was a child - hamsters, turtles, birds, dogs, cats, fish, snakes, bunnies, ducks, bearded dragons & more! As a teen I worked in a dog kennel, as well as doing grooming. As an adult, I took on stray cats needing rehoming including fostering for the Clarington Humane Society, & ended up keeping some of the senior cats that likely would not be re-homed. I’m fully capable of feeding, bathing, brushing & caring for your dog. I have experience in giving medication orally as well and some physio for senior dogs with hip issues. I have no issues with dogs who may have incontinence either! I am very experienced with senior dogs who are high need, big dogs, aggressive dogs, etc. PLEASE NOTE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY DECEMBER 2024: If the roads are bad with snow/ice, WALK visits may be cancelled. If the weather is over -15 WALK visits may be cancelled. If you live in an area that does not receive plow or salt service, or your driveway or pathway is not salted or plowed into your home - service may be delayed or in some cases, cancelled. This is due to repeat injury from last year on clients on property, there is no insurance coverage for this.

Ratings and reviews
Jess' visit was a hit, as always!!!! Our bully breed never forgets her BFF. Babs enjoyed outside time and a much needed car ride! We were able to enjoy a family gathering knowing that Babs would not be home alone all day. Thank you Jess!!
Pancakes was so well cared for. The photos and updates Jess sent were so nice and appreciated.
Jess is the best! She is very thoughtful and she takes the time to send lots of photos and videos and she spends time playing with our dog to make sure he is satisfied before she leaves. We appreciate her efforts and attention to detail!
On time. Good communication. Excellent with Brie. Would have her again.
Jess was very pleasant and was great with my two cats. Very responsive and accommodating.
Thank you Jess! I know Hazel 🐶 and I can always count on you!

Schedule
I’ve made this my sole career ❤️ My overnight bookings start anywhere between 7PM & 9PM. I leave in the morning between 7AM & 9AM to check on my own two rescues or other dog walks/feeds/meds/ - due to that, I cannot provide full 24/7 day care as I can be gone for up to 4-5 hrs max in the daytime.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I can let your fur baby out in your backyard, place in crate, take for a walk, or a drive (happy to take them for a pup cup if allowed - I’m a starbucks person), hikes at Reservoir Park, Civic Gardens or local trails, trips to the dog friendly beaches at the Pines (if you are doing longer than 30mins, otherwise we walk your neighbourhood :)!) - trips to throw a ball at the park if they love other dogs, or happy to snuggle up on the couch with them. Whatever your pet needs! Med dispensing? No problem! Physio stretches? A bath? Some brushing? You got it. Every visit I’ll leave you a report and send you some photos. If I notice any concerns I will note it in the visit & also send you a message if its something that requires attention ASAP. I’ll make sure we’ve communicated where important information in your home can be found, and establish a plan or routine with you - making sure to learn your rules as well as establish any other necessary info. I’m also happy to bring packages inside on the porch if you wish. **ENROLLED: Canine Emergency First Aid Animal Behaviour & Welfare Dog Emotion & Cognition My unavailable dates reflect the dates I am in courses learning new skillsets for your pet!
