Boarding, walks, adventures!

Pet care experience

I have over 16 years of pet care experience, including administering all sorts of medications. I’m currently available for: drop in visits to care for your pets, walks/hikes, & boarding at my home (daycare or overnights). I often take my guests on hikes, to local parks/trails, and even swimming. I limit available space to ensure dogs booked with me always get the attention and care they deserve. I dedicate myself to them and my own dogs. I’m reliable and flexible with needs, just shoot me a message. I am very responsible and knowledgeable about pet care. I truly go above and beyond & your dogs always have so much fun here and feel loved 24/7! We have a big fenced in yard, trails, lake access! I live in a private lake community in Hardy, near Westlake @ Smith Mountain Lake. However, I may be able to assist you in Roanoke as well for drop ins or walks! I can also provide pick up and drop off service to Roanoke for daycare clients. I look forward to meeting you and all of your fur babies!

Jess is the first person we’ve boarded our dogs with that wasn’t a family member. One of our dogs is very anxious with strangers and doesn’t enjoy playing with other dogs so we were worried but hopeful. Our pups were accommodated, doted on and loved while with Jess! Multiple updates were sent every day and we could tell our dogs were safe and happy. It seemed like they cared for our dogs like they were their own pets! Would definitely book again :)

Jess was great with Boone. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. He had a great time playing with her dog! We will definitely use her again!

Jess was amazing. Sent us plenty of pictures. Took the dogs for a hike. Played with them constantly. Dealt with the strange habits and quirks. Thanks for taking great care of our children!

Information Jess S. would like to know about your pet

Your dog must get along with other dogs when boarding with me! I own 4 myself and I want all of the dogs in my care to feel as stress free as possible. Let me know if your dog can jump fences, or has any destructive behaviors. I can work with pretty much anything, just need to make any necessary accommodations!

A typical day

My private neighborhood is perfect for walks, with quiet roads and trails down to and around the lake. I have a big fenced in yard, and a wide open house to play in when it’s too yucky outside. We also take trips to parks nearby for extra adventures. The house is big and comfy enough that everyone can have space and downtime when needed.
