Former research vettech misses pets
Pet care experience
During high school and on until after college, I worked at the aquarium for 10 years and we did enrichment and target training with the sharks in the touch tank. I did everything from food prep to health checks and maintenance tasks. I was also a vet tech for 3 years in a lab and missed being outside and connecting with my clients in a more affectionate way. I have studied animal behavior and environmental science and can’t wait to see what else I can learn!
Reviews
Jess did a terrific job walking our large dog daily (on and off leash) for two weeks while we traveled internationally. Was a relief to have her level of professionalism while we were so far away. Highly recommend!!
Jess took great care of my young puppy and took great care of my house while away.
Jess is incredibly kind and patient with my dog. My dog is sometimes slow to warm and very shy. Jess took the time to let him adjust. She goes above and beyond. My dog is high energy and Jess made every effort to make sure he ran and sprinted to get his energy out. Would definitely hire again!
Jess is a very dedicated animal lover I hired her to walk my very high energy Aussie Leo . Well worth it he’s much happier all the extra exercise has made all the difference in his life. I highly recommend Jess for any of your pet needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I like to know a bit about your dog and how they like to be approached so I don’t make them uncomfortable but mostly I wait until they come over to me.
Information Jess G. would like to know about your pet
I am happy to work with animals that are blind, hard of hearing, shy, or have other special needs. I love to learn about how to treat and handle new animals. So please feel free to tell me all about your dog and how I can make them as happy as I can!
A typical day
I like to hike and walk in the woods, find creative toys for enrichment, play fetch, use talking pet buttons, play fetch, and try different walking routes.

I take care of my cat daily by feeding him, brushing him, playing with him, and watching videos to learn how to keep him entertained. Cat Daddy is the best!! Also, when I was at the aquarium there was a very extensive feeding schedule to do throughout the day, including food prep. I got pretty good at cutting up food sushi style!
