Care For Them Like They’re Mine

My life is catered towards animals. I work as a Canine Coach at a local small business where I guide up to 50 dogs to have a fun and safe day each day. With my own animals I love hiking, various dog sports, adventures and training for fun. I have fostered numerous puppies for a local rescue and trained them until they found their forever homes. I rescued my own dog and helped him build his confidence, he was extremely fearful even afraid of me and he has blossomed in my care.

Jess did a great job dropping in on my 2 kitties! I booked her last minute when my previous arrangements fell through, but I will definitely contact her again when my kitties need care while I'm away. She was able to give my diabetic boy his insulin shots and keep him healthy, and even went the extra mile to bring in packages that were delivered. Thanks Jess!!

Jess was great! My cat warms up slowly but Jess didn’t let that deter her from trying! I highly recommend Jess to watch your cat!

This is the second time I've booked with Jess, and I will not hesitate to use her again. I have no doubt that she gives my dogs excellent care. During tis stay, she provided updates, and I could tell they were comfortable from the pictures as well as what she described about their behavior. I will admit my dogs are "difficult" to care for, yet, Jess was fully capable of handling them. I'm happy.

Schedule

I work at a local doggy daycare during the week not far from my home. In the morning all pets get individual attention and exercise before breakfast when i go to work. Each animal has their own private area to relax during the day. At lunch time everyone gets a potty break and an interactive game. At dinner they again get individual attention that meets their needs. Everyone sleeps in the bedroom with me overnight. Weekends we go on lots of adventures and play all day long.
