Dog care and training reinforcement
Pet care experience
I have been surrounded by dogs for my entire life. I am currently in nursing school and also have a master’s degree in fisheries science. Since coming to Alaska 5 years ago, I have been hired by many families to care for their dogs, including in professional daycare and boarding facility. I am knowledgeable about a variety of training methods and can reinforce whatever you have been working on with your dog. I am a runner and would be happy to take your dog for a run if a walk does not meet all of their exercise needs. I have a friendly terrier mix who I am able to bring along if your dog is friendly and would like a playmate
Reviews
When I first adopted my small dog, Max, Jesse was quick to help me train and care for him! Jesse is an especially kind and loving dog owner and dog-sitter. I trust them to be patient and always use positive reinforcement with my own pup. Max is quite fond of Jesse, and I know your dog will be too! If you are looking for a trustworthy caregiver, pick Jesse!
Jesse is the dogsitter of your dreams! Our two dogs (one attention-loving elderly mutt and one affectionate but anxious/ occasionally reactive bully mix) had the pleasure of being watched by Jesse several times in Juneau. The peace of mind that my partner and I felt when Jesse watched our bossy ladies for us allowed us to actually relax on vacations, without worrying about anything going wrong at home. As a devoted dog owner himself, Jesse has put in countless hours training his own rescued pup and learning about dog behavior. Jesse is patient, reliable, communicative, and especially loving of quirky dogs who require a little extra work, including those who may not socialize well with other dogs. As an avid runner, hiker, and skiier, Jesse is a great match for dogs who have a lot of energy to burn, as well as those who'd rather snuggle on the couch. Although we miss Jesse in Juneau, we wholeheartedly recommend him as a dogsitter in any communities that are lucky enough to have him!
Jesse is a caring and attentive pet sitter. He has watched my dog Owen who is an energetic and snuggly lab mix, for several trips. Jesse made sure my dog got the physical activity and attention he needed, as well as making sure he ate his meals (which he tends to struggle with while I’m gone). If Jesse hadn’t moved, he’d still be my go-to pet sitter!
Jesse is an amazing pet caretaker. They are extremely well educated about the needs of animals and they like to keep themself informed about what each animal needs to be safe and happy. I would trust Jesse with any pet and I would know my animal is in the very best of hands.
