Pet care experience
Hello there! Between Florida, NYC, and the Bay Area, I have been watching or walking dogs for the past 12 years. The only thing that makes things different this year is that I just got my Master certification in Reiki, so now I continue to walk and watch dogs just as I have been while I moonlight my Reiki practice and try to get that off the ground. So, I am fully confident I can be a calming and positive presence both in your house and for your pet(s). I have experience taking care of anything from 1-2lbs to 160lbs, administering medications of all kinds, working with the sweetest pups, and even the ones who can use a little or a lot of help. My training knowledge is fairly impressive as well, though I am not yet a certified trainer. Thank you for reading! If you’d like to set up a meet&greet before the walk/stay, I am more than happy to come almost anytime or day :) - jess

Jesse is great! This is the second time he has watched Jack and stayed in my apartment. He is super friendly, caring, and attentive. Jack was very well taken care of - especially evident by how tired he was when I got home, he obviously had a lot of fun! Jesse also left my apartment in pristine condition. Thanks, Jesse!
Jesse is wonderful. Great experience!
Jesse is the best with our dog Mac! They are seriously best friends and we love him too! Jesse takes great care of our big boy Mac by taking him on long walks and runs around the city, while also taking good care of our home. It's great to know we have a dog sitter we can trust. Thanks Jesse!
This is the second time Jesse has watched our dogs and it was great. He's extremely communicative and sends pictures of their adventures.

I try and simulate the exact experience the dog would have as if the owner were around - most times, I end up walking the dog much more than the client, but I can also take it easy. Whatever the needs are, I’m flexible!
Information Jesse M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know whether or not they are rescue dogs. I would like them to feel comfortable in my home so I would like to know if the dog has had any traumatic experiences in the past so that I can be even more cautious with the way they are handled. Any medical information that could be important in the slightest bit
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog Typically, I walk the dogs 3-4 times a day. If they don't seem like they've gotten enough exercise, I will take them for a jog on top of this till they seem tired. Time I'll spend with your dog Each day, I believe a dog needs as much as love and interaction as a human would. Typically, I walk the dogs 3-4 times a day, but if they seem to still be brimming with energy, I will take them for a jog with me or maybe run around the yard till they seem like they have gotten all the exercise they need for the given day. On top of the walking, I don't believe in putting dogs in kennels, so I typically keep the dog around me for most of the day. This helps the dog to trust me more and helps us to get better acquainted with each other. Extra house-sitting services Definitely. On top of watching your dog/dogs, I would water your plants, tend your garden, clean your house, and really any other chore around the house that you would like to me fulfill.

Well, it’s been such a huge pet of my life for the past 12 years! I continued on working with dogs instead of looking for other work because it’s become so many things in one. It’s a way to make sure I stay social, it’s great exercise, it’s hours and hours of sunshine each day, and I’ve even made very good friends with some of the past clients who I still talk with and hang with today!
