Med student w/ a passion for paws!!

Pet care experience

I am absolutely a dog person and always have been. I have walked and cared for neighbors' and family friends' dogs for as long as I can remember, and I couldn't imagine spending time in a better, more energizing way! I have also volunteered for Dog Star Rescue, a non-profit organization that aims to save and provide a better life for abandoned, sheltered, or owner-surrendered dogs. Since this is the last relaxing semester I will have before I start residency in the Fall, I have all the time in the world to care for your canine companion! Whether you need a walker or a sitter, I can be available any time day or night. I also have made and sold chew toys out of old shirts, and could gladly make one for your dog (or show you how to make one) free of charge! Your furry friend will love it, especially if you use a shirt that smells like you because you've worn it a lot. In my profile, you'll find a picture of my boyfriend's dog, Becky, enjoying the chew toy we made for her for her birthday!

Jess did a fantastic job of looking after my kitty Beatrice while we were away! She is kind, reliable, and made me feel very secure in leaving our kitty for a couple of days.

Jess was quick to respond to any of my tests and was great with my Golden Freja. The house was just as we left and Jess had no problem when we had to change our timeline on the last day. I will definitely be using her again in the future.

I highly recommend Jess to walk your dog! She was great! She sent me an update while on the walk, which I greatly appreciated! Jess provides reliable, quality care of my dog.

Information Jess S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about any trigger words/movements that might excite the dog or make him/her uncomfortable or scared. In general, any pertinent information regarding the dog's health and safety would be my top concern. I have no breed preferences; I love dogs of all breeds, ages and temperaments!

A typical day

I would definitely ask the dog owner if the dog has any of his/her own favorite places to walk. I love walking and hiking in general, so if there are any trails or parks near the home, I would look into going on walks there, always keeping in mind the safety of the dog first. As far as fun activities go, I'm all about keeping dogs entertained and intellectually stimulated! Whether it's a game of catch, tug-of-war, or playing with his/her favorite toy, I'll never get tired of enjoying time with your dog!
