Pet care experience
Experienced Pet Enthusiast Offering Love and Care for Your Furry Friends! Aloha! My passion for pet care began at the tender age of 7, and I've since had the pleasure of sharing my life with a diverse range of furry companions, from 150 lbs Black Labs to a petite 13 lbs Havanese and even a charming Persian cat. Currently, I'm the proud parent of a lively 4-year-old Australian Shepherd named Appa. I firmly believe in cultivating happy and healthy furry friendships by adhering to a structured diet and engaging in stimulating play. Having grown up with high-energy dogs and now caring for Appa, I'm well-acquainted with the need for ample playtime and multiple daily walks. Rest assured, I live in a home with a secure fenced yard, providing a safe environment for your beloved dogs. Plus, there's a dog park conveniently located just down the street! My experience extends to crate training and pad training, and I understand the importance of following your pet's daily routine and respecting any specific instructions you provide. Your home's maintenance and your pet's well-being are my top priorities. With reliable transportation and a flexible schedule, I can accommodate various days of the week to meet your pet care needs. If you'd like to see how I care for my own fur baby, check out my Instagram page at Appa.s_adventures. I'll treat your furry friends with the same love and devotion they deserve. Let's connect and ensure your pets receive the exceptional care they deserve!
Reviews
The BEST DOG SITTER. Jessica was very observant and provided detailed updates of my pup. Took him to the beach and on a short hike to ensure he was exercised. Also taught him a new command. I would recommend her to anyone in search of a sitter.

Safety, trust & environment
For in-home pet care, if your pet is staying with me, they will become a part of my family during their stay. I ensure they have a comfortable and safe environment, and I follow their established routines, including feeding schedules and exercise requirements. I have a securely fenced backyard where they can play and explore. Inside, they'll have access to a designated area for resting and relaxing. Daily walks, playtime, and cuddles are all part of the package. My goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and well-cared for!

Information Jess S. would like to know about your pet
I'm keen on creating a personalized routine for your furry friend, so I'd greatly appreciate a detailed summary of their daily schedule. This information helps me provide the best care possible: Feeding Schedule: Please specify the times for breakfast, any snacks, and dinner. Additionally, let me know if there are any dietary restrictions or special feeding instructions. Medication: If your pet takes any medication, kindly provide details regarding the dosage, timing, and preferred method of administration. It's essential to ensure they receive their medication as prescribed. Preferred Treats and Toys: Knowing your pet's favourite treats and toys enables me to keep them engaged and content. Whether it's a specific type of treat they adore or a beloved toy, I'll make sure to have them on hand. Special Preferences or Habits: Please share any specific preferences, habits, or quirks that your fur baby has. This can include favourite resting spots, comfort items, or any unique behaviours that might be helpful for me to know. Health and Emergency Information: In case of an emergency, it's essential to have your veterinarian's contact information, as well as any pertinent health concerns or allergies your pet may have.
A typical day
I love providing dogs with plenty of physical and mental stimulation through various fun activities. Some of my favourite activities to do with my dog (Appa) are: Regular Walks: I believe daily walks are essential for a dog's well-being. I'll take them on stimulating walks around the neighbourhood to explore new scents and sights. If there are any special places nearby, like a scenic park or a dog-friendly beach, I'd love to take them there too. Playtime: Dogs thrive on play, so I make sure to engage in interactive games like fetch, tug-of-war, and hide-and-seek. I'll tailor the games to their energy level and preferences. Training and Enrichment: Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise. I enjoy teaching dogs new tricks and reinforcing their existing commands. Puzzle toys and treat-dispensing toys are also great for mental enrichment. Dog Park Visits: If there's a dog park nearby and it's something your dog enjoys, we can make regular visits. It's an excellent opportunity for them to socialize and burn off extra energy. Nature Hikes: For more adventurous dogs, I might take them on nature hikes, exploring trails and enjoying the great outdoors. Of course, safety and your dog's comfort level are my top priorities in such activities. Water Fun: If your dog loves water, I'll look for opportunities to let them cool off and splash around in a safe and supervised environment.
