Dogs Make Me Happy
Pet care experience
Dogs have always been in my life. I have a sweet 2 year old pup, Sylvie who was preceded by her older brother Sully. Sully was a beagle mix and lived to be 15 years and 4 months--we had so much fun together! As Sully got older I became more knowledgeable and comfortable in caring for an aging dog. With all dogs, patience, understanding and love is the name of the game! I am a strong proponent of using positive reinforcement to teach dogs. I look forward to getting to know your dog and getting to know their own unique quirks and lovely ways. When can I meet your pup? When I am with your dog, I am present with your dog. I am not multi-tasking, I'm not on my phone or doing whatever else I'm engaging, praising and interacting with your dog. My goal, overall, is to build a relationship with you and with your dog. I want your dog to be not only comfortable with me but happy to see me. Currently providing dog walking, dog drop-ins and dog sitting in nearby hotels. Please message me about any other needed pet care services that may not neatly fit into the Rover categories. I'd be happy to help if I can. Experience with: separation anxiety, anxiety, transitioning from rural to urban settings, potty training, proper leash walking, teaching (name recognition, sit, stay, come and more), positive reinforcement, all ages, senior dog care, special needs dog care, canine cognitive decline, blind and deaf dogs. I have experience caring for exotic birds and would be happy to discuss providing bird sitting services in your home, namely beginning the day, feeding, water changing, socializing and ending the day. My schedule is pretty open. Please do reach out to me, even if it feels like a last minute booking, I'll always do my best to accommodate your schedule if I can and usually I'm able. I'm available all days of the week and all throughout the day. I do require a meet and greet prior to the first scheduled booking. Please send me a message to discuss scheduling a meet and greet. I'm often available same day or next day for a meet and greet. It is my priority to give you peace of mind when I am caring for your pet/s. I'll be sure to discuss with you ahead of time your goals for my time with your pet/s and how I can give you peace of mind with your pet and in your home. I require an leash that is NOT a retractable leash when caring for your dog/s.
Reviews
I’ve used Jessica a few times now and she is a fantastic caretaker of my fur babies. Extremely professional, reliable, and a great communicator. I would recommend her to anyone needing a pet help!
Thank you for taking the best care of Hildegard! ?????
I am beyond grateful that I found Jessica to help take care of my dog, Samson, while I am working long shifts lately. He is a rescue and has some quirks, but Jessica went above and beyond to find out everything she could do to make him comfortable and happy while she is visiting him. She is very knowledgeable and experienced with dogs. I felt very comfortable with her as soon as I met her, and so did Samson. I will absolutely continue to use Jessica for visits in the future and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help care for their pets!!!
So glad we can depend on Jessica to take care of our puppy while we're out! Thanks so much!!

A typical day
I'd love to learn a bit from you about your dog, their personality and your needs and goals for my time with your dog. Please share with me behavioral and training challenges and goals so that I can meet your dog/s where they are at and support your work with them. This can vary so much based on each dog's needs. Overall, my goal is that each dog get physical and mental stimulation that is age, behavior and medically appropriate for each individual dog.
