Pet care experience

Dogs are a gift from the universe.

I just love dogs. They're my preferred companions in this life. I have a small 10 acre spread with lots of trees and shade and a small creek. I have a/c cooled home with built in dog door that leads into a small fenced in area giving dogs freedom to go to the bathroom on their own without being in danger of wandering too far. I have two senior dogs, Björn and Azlan. Björn is special needs, a tripod with arthritis and anxiety. I have years of experience working with dogs with special needs, whether it be medications, extra reassurance, help getting around/mobility or special meal rituals. Extended stays are my favorite because your dog gets to know our family and when they come back it feels like another home. We are located at the end of Big Pine.

We called last minute, and were delighted that Jessica was available. She's a wonderful communicator, letting us know how our sweet boi was doing, how he was playing, and pictures of everything. Our dog clearly remembered her from his previous stay and was overjoyed to see her again. We really feel spoiled! If we could give more than 5 stars, we would.

Manfred's stay with Jesse was wonderful in all possible ways! She obviously knows how to care for dogs (and loves them!) not just her own but others as well. Her communication with us reflected her immediate understanding of his nature and his needs. She communicated with us throughout his stay, sending texts and photos that showed us how his day was going, how his needs were being met, how comfortable he was with her. As a result we were able to be away knowing that we could trust that he was safe, happy, and loved. Manfred loved being with her two dogs, and enjoyed access to their store of toys. The feeling of trust that we had with Jesse from the start was reinforced throughout Manfred's stay. We will absolutely be repeat customers.

Jessica and her partner treated my dog like a king! They also responded to my booking on a last minute request. They made sure to follow the instructions given and my dog came home good and tired from the amount of exercise he was able to receive. The property is perfect for a dog to run and have personal time in a secluded fenced in area, if needed. Great stay and definitely would book again!

Jessica and Eric have been amazing with my pup Sisi. It was the first time Sisi boarding at a sitter’s house, and took sometime for her to adjust. Jessica has been so patient to her, and made her feel like home. Jessica also sent me multiple messages and photos per day just to keep me updated with how Sisi was, which I am very grateful about. I feel very trustful leaving Sisi to Jessica and Eric, and had my mind in peace while I was traveling. And definitely will recommend them to my other friends who need help taking care of their pups~

Jessica was awesome! We've had mixed experiences on Rover thus far, and finding a place to leave our anxious rescue has been a concern. Jessica solved that problem for us, and if she's available when we go out of town, we will not be looking anywhere else. She sent tons of updates, which in the beginning were helpful for our initial comfort, but as the days went on they turned in to a great way to learn about what our sweet pup was up to. Jessica clearly takes her reposibility as a dog boarder seriously, and we are so thankful for her wonderful care!

Schedule

I am home full time. So I have plenty of time and energy to devote to the dogs in my care. My dogs love morning routine of jumping into bed with me for snuggles, then breakfast, playing in the yard. Walks mid morning.
