Hi there! My name is Jessie and I have been an animal lover all of my life. I live in Smithfield and have a large fenced yard and 3 small children that love animals! If you are interested in boarding, your animal must be comfortable with children. I only take ONE dog at a time, so your dog will get all of my family’s attention. I grew up with a wide range of dogs and cats and learned to care for them at a young age. In college, I started a dog walking business that allowed me to earn some money in between classes. I never knew how much I'd come to enjoy my clients and their amazing animals! My mantra: An exercised dog is a happy dog. Incorporating physical and mental stimulation is key in a dog's well being. If you have special circumstances don't be afraid to ask! I will be as flexible as possible to your needs :) I do work part time on some afternoons and evenings. Let me know your preferred schedule and I will be happy to accommodate whatever works best for you. Details about your dog are very helpful in ensuring he or she feels comfortable and safe while in my care. I have experience administering medication, working with dogs of all ages, different anxiety levels etc.
