Pet care experience
Hello! I’m Jess, a dedicated dog enthusiast with 28 years of paws-on experience. My lifelong love for dogs led me to volunteer at the SPCA in Chico, where I honed my skills in walking and basic command training with adoptable dogs. My educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology, and I currently work as a climbing coach and substitute teacher, providing me with a flexible schedule that perfectly aligns with your pet’s needs. I’m not just a walker; I’m a playtime pro and exercise enthusiast. Your furry friend can expect engaging walks, and if you’re up for it, we can embark on adventurous hikes around the Auburn area. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule some tail-wagging adventures! 🐾
Reviews
I am beyond thankful to have found Jess to watch our pups! She absolutely loved on them and sent the cutest photo updates. She was very easy to communicate with and beyond kind. Thank you again Jess, Scotty and Lucy send their love!
Jess was super responsive and wonderful with our dog! She sent us pictures and took excellent care of our boy. You can tell she’s a dog person. Very trustworthy. Would highly recommend.
Jess was amazing staying at our house with our pets. As soon as you meet her you know she’s a person you can trust, and she clearly loves animals. She was on top of every detail and took great care of the pets and house while we were gone. We plan to ask her to pet sit again and highly recommend her!
Jess took great care of my Snoopy. She was also responsive, flexible, and provided me with great updates. Thanks Jess!

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets are embraced as part of the family, enjoying a safe and loving environment where they thrive. I follow strict schedules to ensure regular exercise, meals, and playtime, and I’m meticulous about adhering to special diets and medical requirements to promote their well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I go above and beyond to ensure their safety and security. I treat their property with the utmost respect, maintaining cleanliness and organization, so they return to a spotless and well-kept home. I follow all security measures diligently, from locking doors and windows to ensuring the house remains secure during my stay. In addition to these measures, I’m highly attentive to the pets’ behavior, ensuring they are comfortable and content in their environment. Trust, open communication, and a commitment to their well-being are the cornerstones of my approach.

Information Jess W. would like to know about your pet
1. **Diet and Feeding:** Any specific dietary restrictions or preferences, feeding schedules, and portion sizes. 2. **Medications:** If your pet requires any medication, it's essential for me to know the medication name, dosage, and administration instructions. 3. **Exercise Needs:** Let me know about your pet’s energy level, favorite activities, and how often they need exercise or playtime. 4. **Behavioral Traits:** Information about their temperament, any fears or anxieties, socialization with other pets, and any behavioral cues or commands they respond to. 5. **Health Concerns:** Awareness of any existing health conditions or allergies that might require special attention. 6. **Emergency Contacts:** Contact information for the pet's veterinarian and a local emergency pet clinic. 7. **House Rules:** Specific house rules, like where the pet is allowed, any areas that are off-limits, and whether they are allowed on furniture. 8. **Favorite Toys:** Knowing their favorite toys or comfort items can help keep them happy. 9. **Emergency Procedures:** Discussing what to do in case of unexpected situations, like escape attempts, medical emergencies, or adverse reactions to food or environment. By gathering this information in advance, I can tailor to every pets’ individual needs and ensure a safe, happy, and comfortable experience for them. It's all about making their time with me as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
A typical day
A typical day in my care starts with a morning walk to get the pets’ energy flowing. Afterward, we enjoy breakfast, playtime and perhaps some basic training exercises to keep their minds engaged. Midday is snack time, followed by more play and cuddle sessions. In the afternoon, we embark on another outdoor adventure, whether it’s another walk, a trip to a local park, or some fun games in the backyard. Evenings are reserved for winding down, with more quality time and perhaps a bit of quiet reading or TV time for both the pets and me. Of course, I’ll always tailor the day to suit each pet’s preferences and needs, making sure they have a mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and relaxation. Fun activities can range from fetch and tug-of-war to interactive puzzle toys and even a bit of downtime for pets who enjoy a good snuggle. Every pet is unique, and I’ll cater the day’s activities to ensure they have a tail-wagging, purr-fectly happy time.
