Safety, trust & environment

As both a pet owner and caregiver, I understand the crucial need for trust and comfort between myself, the client, and their pet. I prioritize personalized attention in familiar surroundings, maintaining routines, providing companionship, and following specific care instructions to ensure pets feel secure and loved. Ideally, I prefer meeting clients and their pet beforehand to establish trust and ensure their comfort with me, as building strong relationships is essential.

Information Jessica C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any specifications or requirements so that I can provide the best care. Do they have a favorite toy? Where are their leashes located? How are they with other dogs? Are they skittish around new faces? Do they prefer a little extra one on one time? Does the word "Squirrel" get them excited? The more I know about your pet allows me to provide the best care possible.

A typical day

I prioritize making each pet feel welcomed and at ease by verbally greeting them and ensuring they feel comfortable with me. Walks will take place in your neighborhood, allowing your pet to explore at their own pace while ensuring no bush, shrub, or mailbox goes un-sniffed. Long or short walks, I do them all! For activities, I always have tennis balls on hand to play fetch if the owners yard permits and can play with toys provided. Your pet will be left happy and tired. For dogs that don't care for the outdoors, I have an array of puzzles and snuffle mats I can bring to help work out their brain instead.

Pet care experience

To answer the hit song by the Baha Men, I let the dogs out (and provide cat care too)! I am a military spouse and dog mom of two rambunctious border collies. I specialize in high-energy pets while also having the patience and gentleness needed for senior and low-maintenance pets. I am skilled at interpreting pet body language in social settings, knowing when they need to burn off energy, and when they simply need a break. I am very active with my own dogs and would provide the same care and attention to your pet with routine walks, play-time, and plenty of cuddles. Additionally, I can provide snuffle matts, puzzles, and frozen Kong treats if your fur baby prefers exercising their brain instead. I enjoy engaging with each animal I come in contact with often talking to them and always having treats on hand - with parental permission of course. It would be an honor to allow me to care for your fur baby as I share the same high standards and quality care that every pet owner seeks.

Jessica was fantastic with Kobe and Romeo! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear they were happy, loved, and well cared for. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. We highly recommend Jessica and will definitely book with her again!

Jessica was wonderful with our two cats while we were on vacation! We really appreciated that she stopped by beforehand to meet them and learn their routine. She visited every morning and sent us photos, and it was easy to see how happy and comfortable the cats were with her. She was reliable, caring, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would happily recommend her! 🐾
