Experienced and trustworthy sitter
Pet care experience
Please note, I live in an apartment but my profile incorrectly states I live in a house due to Rover issues. I've taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes for friends and family for several years and am happy to offer my space and time for the right pooch who needs it. I also have my own fluffy dog who I have spent lots of time training and who loves to play with all the guest dogs. This means I have plenty of knowledge in supporting puppies as they learn to navigate the world. I know how to support leash reactive dogs and have plenty of experience in managing this behaviour during walks.
Reviews
I have a big young doofus of a dog - Jess is completely calm, confident and unfazed by his energy and playfulness, gave him a lovely walk with her dog pepper. Picked him up and dropped him off and sent a full report card with happy dog photo attached.
Simba had fun as always. Very spoilt.
Jess and Pepper took great care of Rusty - he had a super time!
I would highly recommend Jess as a dog sitter. She is very informative and sends lovely report cards/ pictures. Jess looks after my little doggo so well (spoils him a lot) and pepper her dog is so lovely and the two dogs have become best friends! She is always willing to help, going above and beyond. I always feel very comfortable and happy leaving simba with Jess and pepper - and he always comes back home tired and clean which is great 😅. Thank you Jess/Pepper. Xxxx

Safety, trust & environment
I have a crate in my home for my own dog during meal times as well as a play pen/ gate to discourage dogs from getting into the wrong spaces and to separate dogs if I cannot monitor them all safely. I like to treat guest dogs like they are my own so this includes all after walk care such as a quick hose downs after muddy walks, brushing to remove stuck on plants and twigs, and a thorough blow dry to avoid matting for long haired dogs.
Home
Information Jess L. would like to know about your pet
Any details are always helpful but most importantly please let me know if your dog is to be strictly kept on lead at all times, is good at greeting/ ignoring other dogs, or any other people we may encounter such as cyclists, joggers etc.
A typical day
I like to do both physical and mental activities and for each day of care, I plan at least two walks that allow for dogs to be off leash if trained for recall. I have long lines for dogs that need that extra security. This includes woodland walks where there are less cars, people, and dogs. I also love to use snuggle mats, treat dispensing wobble toys, licki mats and self-made puzzle toys for mental enrichment for those high energy breeds. If you’d like me to rent an enclosed field near me as part of your dog’s stay then please let me know and I’ll see if I can accommodate.

Availability
I’m currently working full time with the majority of my hours at home. I will never take on a booking where I am expected to be out of the house for several hours. I have several walking options nearby via foot and car for both toilets breaks and long walks. I will plan around your booking so that I am home practically all day and this includes making sure that I reserve time for at least two long walks a day as well as frequent toilet breaks. I also can take on a max of two guest dogs at a time and don’t take dual bookings where I have never cared for either dog before.
