Highlights
Pet care experience
large, fenced, shaded yard
**currently taking past clients only for the summer, thank you** past clients- please message me for availability :) ** I’m at stay-at-home mom with a great fenced-in shaded back yard located in midtown Fort Collins. I have 3 children so pets *MUST* be comfortable around them and have had prior experience with kids in the home. I have 17+ years of dog ownership. We love to have their company and enjoy playing outside. I have many years of experience with elderly dogs and those that have special needs and/or require frequent medication and health monitoring. Our 10-year-old Shih Tzu, Lucca, is very laid back but still enjoys play time and companionship. Lucca likes to lay around on the back porch and in our sunroom area. I kindly ask that pets are current on vaccines and comfortable around small kiddos and a senior dogs. I do care for puppies that are crate and potty trained on a case by case basis. The backyard offers plenty of shade and space to run and play. Potty breaks every 2 hours or more if needed. If a daily walk is required I can arrange that as well. If boarding, I send a daily photo or video check-in. I look forward to watching your sweet and furry family member. Feel free to set-up a time for a home visit prior to stay. I typically only book ONE dog at a time unless they are “siblings” from the same household. Thanks for considering me!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jessica is a great caretaker. My senior Golden Retriever was babied and happy when we picked her up. Jessica gave us daily updates and photos, and always responded quickly to messages. We will definitely contact her again to watch Delilah.
Jessica was just wonderful and treated Stinny like he was part of the family. I was favorably impressed with her communication before, during, and after his stay. I highly recommend and look forward to our next opportunity to work with her.
Beanie was so well cared for and had great company. He enjoys the attention he gets from little ones and having another smaller dog was great. I appreciated the updates and am especially thankful for the accommodation on the late request.
Wonderful communication. My dog is tired and happy after being in this happy home.
Jessica was wonderful and flexible in scheduling. We felt very comfortable having our dog stay with her. All wonderful.
Jessica and her family welcomed Lewis into their home like part of the family!

I am available from 7am-7pm. I do leave to pick-up my children from school (less than a mile from our home) 4x times during the day. I am away for brief periods due to that.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a large, fenced in backyard with lots of shade from mature spruce trees, an outdoor patio and playroom area. Our gates have locks and there is security cameras installed outside. Generally my children play amongst themselves and give the animals plenty of space.

A typical day
I stay home with my youngest child during the day while my older two attend school. We take short neighborhood walks and frequently play in the backyard.
