Pet care experience
Hi there! I have been pet sitting off and on for over 10 years. I love every dog and strive to give them the best time possible. Enrichment is my specialty, as I love to help a dog's brain work. I am the owner of Your Pet Life Coach, and I help teach people about how enrichment activities can be fun for your pup and also help with behavior issues. I am a self-taught dog trainer and have trained a few dogs, even one for commericals and photo shoots. My ideal day would be chilling with the pup, allowing them to tell me what they would like to do: cuddle, play ball, train. I believe I read every dog very well. I have a certificate in Animal Reiki, Crystal Healing, and Massage, along with certification in pet first aid and CPR. I have experience with both geriatric seniors and puppies, helping old dogs get up and move around, and training puppies to potty train and perform basic obedience.
Reviews
Jessica kept us updated with messages and pics. She even had to deal with a situation that was quite stressful and was so glad she called. We’d do anything for our fur babies so she had full consent. Luckily, all ended up well. Would book Jessica again!
We were very happy how Jessica took care of our pets, and with a short notice. She checked in with us and double checked making sure she did everything we ask. We were traveling and she checked to see if she needed to stay later. I am happy to recommend Jessica.
Jessica and her husband did an amazing job taking care of Nali for a last minute week long trip. They played with toys and puzzles, braved the freezing cold and made sure he had plenty of potty breaks, and kept me updated with the cutest pictures. Grateful for their exceptional care, I was confident Nali was safe, snuggled, and spoiled! 🌟 🐾 - Thanks for hanging out with our little dude!
Jessica watched our 3 Dachshunds for an entire week and did an excellent job. 2 of our puppies are under 1 year old and they needed training. Jessica did that while she cared for them then left us homework todo after we got back. No one loves animals as much as she does. If you want to insure your pet is in the best hands call Jessica.

Information Jessica G. would like to know about your pet
Rules. I like to know all rules that you have for your pet. Treats allowed or not? Playtime in the house or not? Do they walk on a leash well? Favorite Activities? Favorite Toys? Do they have any special needs? I'm sure there are more, we will go over everything at our meet and greet.
A typical day
I love to give your pup an experience. Meaning I, if given approval will give them enrichment toys, exercise and extra playtime. Training is also something I love to do. For your kitties, play is very important too. If they enjoy that. If not I am happy to just sit with them on my lap and enjoying the purring.

Availability
I am available every evening during the week, for check ins, walking and other fun activities. I am almost always available the entire day on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I work a full time job at WashU. I am in the office Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8-5. If your pet can not be alone that long, I can make arrangements with my husband to check on them during the day. He will also come to the meet and greet that we set up ahead of time.
