dog loving Tufts veterinary student

Pet care experience

I graduated from Virginia Tech with two B.S. degrees in Animal & Poultry Sciences and Psychology in May 2018. I moved to Massachusetts from Virginia in June 2018 to start veterinary school at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine! I have 6 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant in Virginia. Last summer, I worked at Banfield in Northborough, as well as on-call shifts at the Tufts Large Animal Hospital after previously working as a Large Animal Care Technician at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine during undergrad. I have experience working with horses, swine, cattle, poultry (turkeys and chickens), goats, dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, and pocket pets. I have raised two service dogs for Saint Francis Service Dogs and have two cats in my home (Bonnie and Clyde)! I provide detailed summaries of my time spent with your pets and plenty of pictures! I am knowledgeable in pet CPR, and am skilled in providing medications by various methods of delivery (injection, oral, nasal, etc). I am committed to providing humane, loving, and responsible care for your pet, and treat every animal as my own fur-baby. I want you to relax and vacation easily, knowing that your pet is receiving quality care and plenty of exercise, just as if they were in your care. I promise I will not accept your booking request unless I can commit the time and care your pet needs. I recognize that pets are just like children, and it is my goal to make sure no dog (or cat) feels neglected nor bored while their parents are away!

Jessica is great! Definitely recommend her to care for your animals. She’s stayed over with my two dogs twice now and they both love her! She’s very caring and even offered to make one of my Dogs a special bland dinner one night when we were gone because she had an upset stomach! Will definitely rebook her again!

Our dog Bonnie always loves when Jessica comes around. Jessica writes us the best summaries of her visit with Bonnie. Highly recommend!

Thanks to Jessica for coming to hang out with Bonnie and for the great daily report cards. She always including a number of photos and a small write up about the visit. Hope we get to use Jessica again in the future!

Jessica is a wonderful sitter. My cat enjoyed her visits while I was away. I recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!

Information Jessica H. would like to know about your pet

Approximate age, gender, size, breed (if known). Are they spayed/neutered? Are they house trained? Are they crate trained? Do they have any special needs or care instructions?

A typical day

I can run or walk with your dog depending on their size, age and physical limitations. I LOVE toy time and think that dogs need enrichment and companionship in addition to exercise. I can provide lots of cuddles and spend time with your pet (not just on walks) so they don't feel lonely or bored while you're away. I know I get nervous whenever I leave my animals in the care of someone else, so I want you to be assured your pet will be receiving the same care they would receive normally.
