They own me and I'm happy to serve!

Pet care experience

"Jessa, I hope I get to come back as one of your dogs." That's what I hear the most from the people around me. I have passionately dedicated myself to the care and well being of animals, be it my own, yours, rescue, stray, shelter - anyone who needs help. In our house we believe strongly in morning chicken, and glasses of ice water by the bed (to promptly reject, because "we" saw a cat drink out of it, and now we need Mommy's water.) before and after massages. Everyone here is a rescue and came with some sort of special need. I accommodate all of them, and believe in an environment that is safe and secure so that they have the freedom to be their true selves. I am experienced in injections (insulin, adequan, B12 etc) and oral medications even in the trickiest of situations. I have a cold laser (Tendlite, LLT) that I use for wound healing and pain treatments. I had a three-legged Corgi with a nerve sheathe tumor on his spine, so anything you could imagine that would go with that 24hr care for 8 months, I am capable of (and still paying off). I know how much I cherish my pet sitters, and I hope to provide that comfort for anyone I work with. We go for daily neighborhood walks, and when the weather permits, we will be back hiking and in parks (when they are safe again.) if that is something you would like your dog to join in on. I truly respect the individual wishes and requests of each person, as they know what the needs of their dog is, and as I know I need mine met from my sitters as well. I am a Realtor, so while I may need to sneak out here and there throughout the day, I am home quite a bit and try to leave for only short amounts of time when required. There is a dog door here, which could be left open or closed upon request. This gives me the ability to pop into your house for a relief or a walk during business hours and nighttime as well. I at one point, was walking a shiloh shepherd, a border collie, my little mix guy, and pushing a stroller with my Corgi all at the same time, so dog walks are an easy jaunt for me. Please ask me for references, check my FB and IG to see what I'm really like, and ask me anything you would like to know! I am very flexible and not all the profile options on here display that. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Jessa has true empathy for all animals. She is disciplined and only accepts the best care, food, and love for the pets she cares for.

She is kind, caring and very friendly. She took good care of my pets with patience and she has good experience. If I ever need someone to take care of my pet, i am sure she will be the one person I will be calling again.

Jessa has dogsat for me for several years. Not only is she trustworthy, kind, and respectful, she has a love for animals like I've never seen before. Her own animals are well cared for, spoiled, and truly loved. Any animal she sits for will be treated like family and like royalty! I couldn't recommend a better pet sitter. I recommend her for all animals, any disabilities, or medical conditions. She's got you and your pets covered.

Information Jessa K. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed or gender discrimination, but I cannot have alpha males stay in my house. My dogs are both beta and they really don't appreciate it. I am happy to take care of any dogs regardless of that, in your home. For your dog to stay here, they must also be cat tolerant. If you aren't sure if they are, we can find out first. My newest rescue pup had come from neglect and abandonment in the desert, but let the cats literally walk on top of him from day one, so you never know.....

A typical day

There is a dog door here, so dogs are welcome to relieve themselves as they see fit. As a group we go outside many times during the day (weather permitting) to stretch and play. My dogs enjoy splashing on the top steps of the pool, immediately digging in the dirt and then jumping on my bed. When the weather cools, I take my dogs to parks and hiking, and with your expressed permission, that is something I could or could not take your dogs to do as well. Easy hikes. Not ones that need rescue options, just very easy mild hikes. We enjoy bedtime here quite a bit, and spend 99% of our nights just enjoying company and affection and watching movies on snuggly blankets but with the fan and a/c on us.
