Giant Breed & Special Needs Expert

Pet care experience

***please note my rate includes up for two animals per night, with additional fees for more animals and puppies/kittens.*** Hello there! I am very experienced with large/giant breeds and special needs pets after working at a giant breed dog rescue and taking care of a wide-range of behavior disorders. I offer a calm, steady loving presence and animals warm up to me quite quickly, as do I to them. I love playing and getting snuggles from the fur ones! Beyond large dogs, I also have experience caring for smaller dogs, cats and other smaller creatures. Outside of caring for animals, I enjoy spending time in nature, anything on wheels and studying new things! I am new to the Asheville area and love going for walks and exploring different parts of the city on foot. I look forward to meeting all the sweet pets here! I work part time from home and as long as there is internet, I will be fine! I like to hike and go skating, but other than that I am mostly at home. Unfortunately, I cannot board your pets at my home because of other animals that live here. I am happy to stay at yours and maintain your pet’s normal routine. My goal is to return your house as it was when I arrived and I am able to give a little care to any plant friends you may have, as well.

Jesse took excellent care of our 3 dogs and home while she cared for them overnight. If I need to be away again I’ll call her first !

Jesse is amazing! We HIGHLY recommend her... Our crew of 3 loves her. She took care of our home and checked in often with much appreciated pics of the dogs and updates. ? It was SO nice to not have to worry about our dogs or the house at all while gone! We will definitely call on her again and again.

Jesse did a great job watching my two dogs and cat. Numerous neighbors commented on seeing her walking the dogs around the neighborhood, so they definitely got their exercise in! The house was clean and organized after her stay. Would definitely hire again!

Jesse was great. Very easy going, and did a great job in house-sitting while watching my dog Cooper. She kept me informed throughout the stay and was very respectful of my house - kept it spotless. I would highly recommend Jesse. She is a dog lover and a really nice person as well.

i do my best to maintain their environment as close to what they are normally used to. depending on their temperament, i give them time to warm up, or lots of cuddles until they feel safe with me!

Information Jesse R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if they have any triggers, as to minimize distress. I also like to keep their routine as close to their normal one, as well. Medications and how to trick them!

A typical day

There will always be walks involved, if your furry friend is up for them! I feel comfortable going to dog parks with non-aggressive, responsive dogs (off-leash). And of course playing at home!
