I love dogs of all types, and walks
Pet care experience
I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have had cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, amphibians, you name it, I have had one at some point. I have personally rescued 5 animals from bad situations and rehomed them to great people, and I love all types of dogs! I am a full time pet sitter and dog Walker and typically have openings for all clients needs as long as I am given ample notice. I have some experience with training, (leash, sit, paw) and would be happy to walk or take care of your dog or cat. I would love to have toys availible for your dog to play so I could take them to a nearby park, or if your dog just likes to mosey around and sniff, that’s fine with me too! I am availible for overnights when booked out in advance, payment is based on a case by case basis. Your dog or cat would get lots of love, attention, and play time with me. Every one of my clients gets a one on one experience with me, I do not bring your dog out with 3 or 4 dogs it doesn’t know, as I believe each dog deserves my undivided attention. I also have experience giving medications to both dogs and cats, of many types. I can be very patient and creative for a dog or cat that does not like taking their meds. I am comfortable taking on bigger dogs, or dogs who may have some special needs like anxiety as well. I am a very passionate person and always come prepared.
Reviews
I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a dog walker. She is super nice, attentive, and accommodating, treating your dog as if it was her own!
Jessica did a great job with Angie which wasn’t easy ! Angie was fearful and uncooperative but Jessica persisted which I really appreciated. She came over twice to build rapport while I was there. Jessica has experience and is patient with animals and new dog owners !
Jessica took great care of our cat when we were away. We really appreciated everything she did - including sending pictures, playing with him and catering to his cat habits. She's very responsible and reliable, and just a wonderful person who clearly loves animals. We were lucky to find her - she is everything you could want in a pet sitter.
hey fellow Dog and Cat enthusiasts! Im speaking on behalf of Jessica C ! She took care / walked my 2 dogs for almost 2 months when my wife and I were really busy with work, new baby . .etc . Every time my dogs saw her walking to the front door they would freak out and wag there tails almost as fast as when they were eating ( there Labradors). She did such an amazing job and sometimes gave us discounts for her services. I truly think she just enjoys being with dogs and it made me feel so comfortable to know that my babies were in such kind and loving care when i was busy. Needless to say I would Recommend Jessica to anyone who is in need of some help with there dogs. She never was late or missed a day when we needed her. She also took them to the vet for us one time! Thanks Austin W
About Jessica C.
Communication
Skills
Information Jessica C. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting a dog, I would like to know the following: -Do they have any allergies or special needs -Behavioral issues or fears -How they are on leash -How much training they have had- is it okay for them to be off leash in a park to play fetch? -What is their behavior like toward other dogs if we were to encounter them on a walk? I love all types of dogs, small or large. I currently walk a lot of large breed dogs. I have a huge soft spot for pit mixes, and I actively work against the negative stigmas against this breed, but I do not have any preferences!
A typical day
I like to play fetch with balls, I love playing tug of war with sticks, I have no problem walking puppies that need the extra attention, and I am very patient. If your dog likes to walk off trail a bit and sniff around, it’s his/ her time to enjoy the outside and I won’t rush them! our 30 minute walk won’t start when I pull in your driveway. I take all the time and attention your dog needs, even if that means taking a walk that is longer on some days.
