During the 15 years I worked as a vet tech I offered drop- in technician appointments mostly to cats and small exotic animals who were more comfortably treated at home but also did drop ins for dogs as well. Now I've made it a profession!

Information Jessica C. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me a bit about your pet and what you’re looking for in a pet-sitter. What makes your furbaby the happiest and not so happy? I give most breeds a chance! Is your pet on any medication is your pet on any medication or supplements? Is your pet currently being treated for anything by veterinarian? Important note: I do not offer traditional meet and greets. You may feel free to come and walk the grounds so that we may meet each other, but I do not introduce dogs at meet and greets nor do I do walkthroughs of my home. Trial stays are available and preferred. Upon arrival for boarding, I always take pups on a brief walk to empty their bladder and bowel systems and decompress from the excitement of traveling to my home before meeting any other house guests. New pups are then introduced through the fence on said walk once calm. There is then a play session outside to allow them to further, get to know each other prior to heading inside. Introductions are slow to ensure the safety of all guests.

A typical day

I live on a peaceful street on 6 acres of pure new sniffing grounds. I cater your furbabies stay to their personality! And I’m home most of the day so your pups will have plenty of company!

Jessica is such a great sitter and beautiful person. My elderly dog is always well taken care of, happy and clean when I pick her up.
