Hello fabulous pet parents! My name is Jessica and my goal is to be your pet's new favorite friend! I have 6 years of dog husbandry working for an accredited organization, with 2 years of training experience with positive reinforcement. My strongest training aspect is building confidence. While I don't do training as a main focus, I will work with your pet to make their time with me or outdoors more enjoyable and safe. This also includes house manners. For example, if your dog is a puller on walks, I will work with your dog on not pulling so that when I take your dog out they won't drag me down the street. Another example is if your dog is a persistent jumper, I will work with your dog so that he/she will not jump up on me when excited. If you need a trainer to work on these things personally with you I have great recommendations! I have a lot of knowledge in identifying behavior and problem solving skills for behavior issues. So if your dog is distracted on our walk or showing issues while I'm sitting him/her I can handle them confidently. I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages and know the difference each age range needs for care. I can apply medications whether they be orally, topically or injection, so your senior or sick pups will be in good hands. I will provide plenty of mental stimulation for your pet and adapt to their needs in order for them to receive the mental stimulation to keep them calm and happy. I've traveled by plane on my own 8 times with dogs across the country without incident. I've taken countless road trips up and across the country on my own with multiple dogs without incident. There is nothing about caring for dogs that I am not comfortable and confident with even outside of mine and the dog's comfort zone. While I don't have the same AMOUNT of experience caring for cats, I am just as comfortable with them. Other pets I will sit for include: -Hamsters (I absolutely WILL NOT take them out of their cage and handle them mainly because I would hate for them to escape and get lost) -Chickens and ducks -Snakes and other reptiles -Horses I can guarantee you and your pet will not be disappointed with my services! *It is important to note that if you are considering me for sitting in your home that my personal dog Huck must come with me. I'm single and live alone making me his sole caregiver. He is the best house boy and I can guarantee will not destroy or potty in your home. I bring a couple of toys for him so he won't ruin or destroy your pet's toys. I always clean up after him so that your home is exactly as you left it. Any playtime that might occur between he and your pets will be supervised so nothing breaks and no one gets hurt. Huck is usually off sleeping during down time and will not bother your pets if they don't want to play. He is quite calm for his breed and very respectful of other's space and moods. He is UTD on all of his vaccines which I can provide to you should you request to see them. If you aren't comfortable with him being in your home then I will not be available to sit for your pet(s) unfortunately.
