Experienced animal caregiver
Pet care experience
Hi my name is Jess, I have about 20 plus years working with animals dogs especially. I have hands on vet experience working with multiple thousands of animals over the years of running a rescue and can spot symptoms of a sick pet quickly. I understand all types of animal behaviors along with their needs. I know a few survival techniques and how to unlodge a stuck tennis ball if chocking. I grew up with tons of dogs cats and some birds and reptiles, as well as founded a dog rescue where we’ve had thousands of animals come through our facility doors. We had dogs cats and other animals that required care some 24/7 I know basic obedience training as well as some behavioral training, how to properly walk on a leash etc

Thank you Jen!
Jess is awesome!!!! Based on her extensive experience with animals and being a former Vet Tech, I knew instantly my dog was in excellent hands and I was right. Jess took great care of my Charlotte. She was super conscientious and cared for Charlotte as if she were her own. Also, she respected my home and when I came back everything was as I left it. Jess is a great sitter and care taker of animals! I highly recommend her!!!
Jess was amazing! She is clearly very experienced with caring for dogs. We had a lot to show her about our home and the dogs and she picked everything up quickly and easily. We felt 100% comfortable having Jess in our home caring for our two dogs and would highly recommend her. Thank you, Jess!
Jess did a great job looking after our two pups. She visited the house a week ahead to go over their routines etc., and was excellent at communicating with us while we were away. Even an additional drama of bees coming down the chimney was not a problem! Definitely recommend.

If in my home or the pet owners home dose not make a difference, pets are family. I do NOT leave dogs unattended in the yard regardless of the size. Cats are indoors only unless owner says otherwise. All dogs are walked on secure harnesses and leash held firmly. Animals have their own dog beds or areas they prefer and or if preferred/allowed to sleep on humans beds that welcomed too. It depends on the animals needs, energy levels etc each animal is different some require lots of activity some want to be couch potatoes, all are welcome.
Home
Information Jess R. would like to know about your pet
How is the animals health overall and if they require certain meds, have allergies etc. Also how is the animals behavior towards humans, kids, and other animals. Please be upfront and HONEST about this part! I am ok with ALL behavior types I just need to know as so I can assist correctly as not to set the pet up for failure
A typical day
If the pet prefers activities we can go on walks, I tend to walk the beach often as well as hiking paths and green belts. If the dog needs mental stimulations we do puzzles and scent work. If the pet prefers to be more of a couch potato or is a senior with less mobility then calmer gentle days it will be
