Pet care experience

J-Force Obedience

I cater to many special needs dogs. In many cases, dogs that other places may not accommodate, be it due to breed restrictions, (strong breeds, such as Bullies, Mastiffs, GSDs, etc.) reactive behaviour, or unaltered dogs. I have a strong background in canine rehabilitation and behaviour modification, having been a certified obedience trainer for 15 years (CPDT-KSA). I have worked in the pet care field for over 20 years, from shelter and kennel worker, to bather, daycare attendant, dog walker and vet assistant. I have also been actively involved in Pit Bull rescue, and strong breeds are my passion! We are currently in a moving transition, and will be staying in a trailer at an RV camp site for an undisclosed amount of time. I will still be accepting small to medium sized dogs only. Our site is quite spacious, dog-friendly and approved by the site owner, with access to hiking trails just a step outside of our door. I share my life with a my Miniature Rottweilers. I work full time as a dog care provider, and single mother of a child with ASD. We are well set up to meet all of our canine clientele's needs, including professional licensed grooming services offered by my best friend and colleague, November, at Insanity Barks (this is a privately owned business that is separate from Rover.com)! ***WE REQUIRE PROOF OF UP-TO-DATE VACCINES AND A MONTHLY FLEA/TICK/WORM PREVENTION, SUCH AS ADVANTAGE MULTI OR REVOLUTION, BEFORE YOUR DOG CAN STAY WITH US.*** Unfortunately it is a liability to the other dogs in our care if these things are not covered! We also cannot accommodate last minute bookings, in most cases, especially if you cannot provide this information. This is for the safety of all dogs in our care. We also do ask that clients please be crate trained, because I do use crates for bedtime and at times during the day that I can not immediately supervise (grocery shopping, etc.). Dogs will *never* be left together, unsupervised. There are plenty of opportunities for client dogs to play and socialize together, if they are friendly. We have a large fenced dog run, complete with giant toy bin, and kiddie pool during the summer months. For dogs who are less social, we can accommodate quiet one-on-one time. We manage our space well, so that even non-dog-social dogs can feel comfortable in their own space. We are equipped with large dog beds and cots, a small flatcreen TV for ambient sound and light, as well as a DAP diffuser and essential oils to help provide a relaxing stay. We invite clients to come by for a Meet n' Greet walk, to get to know each other. I am always happy to answer questions at any time!

Jessica was a big help for watching my pup for our ski trip. Pepper came home happy and tired. And she sent me photos to put me at ease as well throughout the day. Thank you!

She was great, and knows dogs! Our energetic young lab was happy with Jessie for a whole week!

Jessica was very pleasant, her communication was great and she very obviously takes her job seriously. Our whole experience was positive and we would certainly use her again.

Our little girl Fran had the best time at Jessica's! Jessica was accommodating to our dog's needs and very responsive. We would definitely recommend!

Jessica did a great job with my two rescue dogs with issues. They will literally let me know if they were unhappy in boarding by vocalizing on the way home, but their return was seamless and they were in good spirits. Rather than isolating them as previous boarders have done, Jessica went to the trouble of slowly and properly introducing my dog-reactive dogs to her own dog and her other boarder, with impressive success.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am self-employed and make my own schedule, so dogs are very rarely ever left alone (unless I need to run short errands). I stick to a fairly consistent feeding and potty break schedule, so that routines remain as predictable and stress-free as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

My dogs are dog-social and friendly, and happy to keep client dogs company. We have a secure covered dog run for off-leash play, and access to wooded trails for controlled on-leash walks.

Pets

A typical day

Immediate access to shady wooded trails for walks during hot sunny days. Air conditioning and kiddie pool. Playtime with other dogs and toys in our secure large dog run.

No breed restrictions - strong breeds welcomed and encouraged! Only need to know if a dog is reactive in any way or unaltered, and what limitations they may have, to best accommodate them.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
