FUN DOG LOVER FOR DROP-INS OR WALKS

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Jessica. I'm a responsible, background checked, trust cloud approved adult, who subscribes to rover's extra protection package, and has passed rover's training courses. (Tap on any of the badges above and a box will pop up explaining what it's for). I am centrally located in downtown KC. My dog sitting style is to stop by your house 2/3x a day/night. I'm a dog mom to 3 of the most spoiled dogs in the world. Hank, Early, and Alabama. Boxer, boxer/mutt mix and French bulldog. The boys were rescued from Kansas City, Kansas animal shelter and been with us for almost 9 of the happiest years ever. And Alabama is our new 4yr old girl, adopted from friends whose jobs didn't allow her much of a free dog life. I've had dogs and cats my whole life and can't imagine it any other way. I was an equestrian as a child and younger adult. Spending lots of hours at the barn w my horse and barn dogs and cats. Feeding, cleaning stalls and all the hard work that comes with large animal care. I own a luxury black car service, so I make my own hours and drive to lots of areas all over the city. Dog sitting fits in perfectly for a second job. Driving a town car allows me to be able to make as many stops at your house as you need, day and night. I can always schedule rides around what I'm doing. Some of my clients take advantage of my car service to and from the airport, combining your pet sitter and airport transportation can save you some time and stress. My prices are always negotiable. I take into consideration your location, how many pets you have, the amount of stops you'd like me to make, etc. And, I always take lots of pics and send lots of updates while you're away. One of my best friends owns a private dog park with pick-up and drop-off service. I've worked w her there when needed over the years since she opened. I grew up taking care of horses at park college stables. I boarded my horse there for a discounted rate for doing work around the barn. Stable work always involves caring for cats and barn dogs as well as horses. I spent the summer after high school as a groom at the woodlands racetrack. Responsible for 4 horses every need 7 days a week. Why I love dog sitting I've been an animal lover all my life. Dogs, cats, horses. You name it. Dogs make me smile and laugh. Having a part time job getting to hang out with sweet pups and cats makes me happy. I care about your pets as much as my own and take my pet sitting business very seriously. My experience administering medication Yes, very comfortable administering medication. I have experience giving diabetes shots to cats. And I'm pretty good at tricking dogs into taking pills. One of my clients is an epileptic puggle and I have to give her seizure meds every 12 hours when i sit her. (see reviews) As a groom at the racetrack and an equestrian, I was always very involved in handling and assisting in vet care.

We have had Jessica provide drop in care for our three dogs on two occasions now while we were out of town and could not bring the dogs along with us. Jessica was responsive, kept us up to date on how the pups were doing, sent photos and took great care of the dogs. She came over to meet the dogs before we went out of town and was exceptionally friendly with both the doggies and the humans :) Jessica followed all of our instructions as the three dogs can be a bit of a handful all at once without batting an eye. She even went out of her way to bring over dog food when we were running low. We will definitely book Jessica again !

I work from home, but my schedule does not always allow me to give my dogs the exercise they need. Jessica visits twice a week and has always been both punctual and professional during her visits. My dogs are always happy to see her, and always come back happy and tired. I would recommend Jessica for anyone looking for similar services.

Jessica was absolutely fabulous! Our boys are somewhat of a handful, two dogs totaling around 160 lbs., including a boxer with separation anxiety. Jessica sent us daily updates and, for the first time ever, we came home to happy dogs who hadn't lost a single pound! Jessica did everything up make our vacation the best it could be for us and our dogs. Thanks Jessica!

Information Jessica D. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know about any medical issues or needs. What are their favorite treats/toys? Do you have a yard, or is leash walking required? And what area of town you live in? I must admit that I'm a sucker for a smooshed nose dog(boxer, pug, Boston terrier, bulldogs, French bulldogs, any and all bully breeds). I love pit bulls and big dogs as well(mastiffs, Great Danes) But I love all dogs, smooshed or pointy! I have both!!

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog My general plan would be to stop by for 1/2 to 2 hours, 2-3 times a day/night. Depending on your dogs and/or cats needs. We can always negotiate more time if that's what you're looking for. I am not generally available to stay overnight or the whole time you're gone, as I do a lot of driving at night for my other job and have 3 dogs of my own that need me as well. But I do take my time spent with your pets very seriously, and try to stay as long as my schedule allows each visit. Extra house-sitting services Absolutely. Extras can always be negotiated. Bring in mail and paper, take out trash. Cat care, and other animal care. Also, if you are in need of transportation back and forth to the airport, you could book a ride in my town car and get door to door service. The fastest way to get home to your furry friends. I also offer just dog walking services, negotiable by number and size of dogs, area of town you are located, and how long and how often you want your dogs to be walked.
