Dogs aren’t just my job… they’re my lifestyle. As a devoted dog mom & sitter, I plan my outside life around the pups, because majority of my days are spent at The Castle (MY HOME) creating a safe, loving, and structured environment for all paws.

Information Jesseeka & John G. would like to know about your pet

To help create the safest and most comfortable visit please review the questions below: Temperament & Behavior Does your dog show any food or toy aggression? This is something I can often work with as long as i know ahead of time. However, for the safety of all Kings & Queens, im unable to accept dogs that show aggression toward other dogs or humans. Health & Safety Does your pup have any allergies or medical conditions? Is your dog currently taking any medications? Home Routine & Sleeping Habits Where does your dog typically sleep at home? Are they crated? At The Castle, dogs are only crated for safety reasons or if requested by the owner. We also use gates/playpens to create smaller, calm groups when needed.

A typical day

Your dogs day will be full of structure, enrichment, and plenty of love. Mornings begin with snuggles and potty breaks, followed by supervised play, mental stimulation, and relaxing rest time throughout the day. Each pup is cared for based on their personality and energy level, enjoying social play, one-on-one affection, walks, and gentle training reinforcement — all in a safe, calm environment.

Echo had a great stay at Jesseeka’s place. She had a nice compound for the dogs to socialize outside and always send us so many pics which we love. I’d highly recommend her.

I had to book last minute and Jesseeka was very accommodating. Leo loved hanging out with Jesseeka and her family and the other pups! She was responsive and kept me updated❤️
