Pet care experience

❤️🐾 Dogs Deserve the Best 🐶

▪️ I lost my best friend 7 summers ago on his 11th birthday. 🎂😢 He was a St. Bernard who I had since he was just 7.5 weeks old. We had a long run together and he will forever hold a special place in my heart! 🧡 ▪️Until I am ready for another dog, pet sitting is the best alternative for me! I quickly learned how much I truly enjoy doing something I’m so passionate about while also providing help and care to others❣️ ▪️I grew up with dogs my entire life and have experience with many different breeds and sizes. ▪️I can provide services throughout most of the Capital Region! 🌎 ▪️I have senior dog experience and can give medications if needed. I can also provide basic obedience and potty training. ▪️I live in a pet friendly apartment complex on the second floor. There are 2 fenced in dog parks that can be used for your dog to run around and play off leash (with or without other dogs at your discretion). ▪️I would love to meet and take care of your four legged family member(s)! I know they will be safe* and happy* with me in either your home or mine! 😊 DURING THE STAY ▫️We can take a nice walk through my dog friendly complex or go to a walking trail near by. 🌳🌻 ▫️We can go to the dog park conveniently located right in my apartment complex. 🎾 ▫️After all of our playing, we can take a nice nap together. 😴 ▫️We can do whatever your pet enjoys the most! I am open to any special activity requests. BREED PREFERENCES ▫️My St. Bernard turned me into a big dog person and I have a huge weakness for puppies but I love any and all dogs! Big or small, young or old, it doesn’t matter to me! 😍 ▫️I enjoy being able to meet new animals and to learn something unique about each one of them! 🐾 ▪️I work full time from home Monday - Friday, my schedule is very flexible (so it’s easy to give lots of attention during the day!) Your pet will be safe and happy with me in either your home or mine! I send lots of pictures and updates during the stay. I would treat your dog as I would my own (aka spoiled 😂)

Jess was great! Super responsive and sent me tons of great pictures so I never had to worry that my dog was being well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Jess to anyone, I could not have been happier!

Doggy Day Care • May 06, 2021

Very pleased with Jessica’s service. She thought of everything before hand and took such good care of my two Siberian huskies. She has a beautiful open clean space and my dogs absolutely loved her. Will definitely see Jessica again.

Jessica was great with our two dogs Kyli and Fleur! She sent lots of pictures and updates of the girls. They seemed very relaxed and happy staying with her! I would definitely recommend her.

Jessica was wonderful! Made a meet and greet so easy to schedule, and my puppy loved her! She sent many updates and pictures during my dogs stay. Great communication and took great care of Obby! Definitely will be using her in the future

Doggy Day Care • Feb 09, 2020

Jessica was a fantastic sitter for my two large dogs (gsd and golden). I couldn’t be happier with the way she cared for them when I was out of town for the day. She took many photos and kept me updated throughout the day and was flexible and quick to respond. Incredibly thoughtful and responsible, I would definitely recommend Jessica if you need daycare for your pup!

Schedule

▪️ I’m home during the week with a flexible schedule, which lets me give dogs plenty of one-on-one attention. I make sure they get walks, potty breaks, and consistent care in a calm, comfortable environment. I genuinely love spending time with each dog and treating them like part of the family.

FOR STAYS AT MY PLACE: I would like to know how your pet is around other dogs and how they are on a leash. FOR STAYS/DROP-INS AT YOUR PLACE: I would like to know if you have a fenced in yard or not. For puppies, I like to know what commands and training techniques you currently use so I can follow your method for consistency!
