Kind and experienced dog caretaker

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs of every breed for over a year through volunteering at my local animal shelter. At the shelter, my position is to feed, sometimes bathe, clean kennels, and walk dogs. I also have 3 dogs of my own (a shih tzu, Australian shepherd/border collie mix, and German shepherd). I have experience raising/training puppies, as I helped my family raise our German shepherd since he was born 1.5 years ago. As for cat care, I have had cats in my family for as long as I remember and have been around cats of all ages and sizes.

Jessica is a very competent and caring sitter. Toby was having some health and mobility issues and she treated him wonderfully and kept me informed on his condition. I recommend Jessica and will call her again.

What an angel. She worked with my dog for as long as it took to get him to go outside. Forever grateful. Highly recommend.

Jessica has been caring for our fur babies for about 5 years now. Jax our rescue dog who is an older dog with anxiety and a skin condition, and our cats Brutus and Sebastian who is diabetic. She is so wonderful with each of them, you can see how much she loves animals by seeing how much they love her. Jess stays at our home when we vacation and cares for all 3 animals including tending to their medical conditions which includes giving medications. She is an amazing, kind, responsible young lady. We highly recommend Jess and we would not have anyone else care for our pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with many different sizes and breeds of dogs and I do know how to easily crate your dog if the situation calls for that. I have a lot of experience dealing with anxious and/or nervous dogs.

Information Jessica H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs/behaviors or medical conditions. I have personal experience with dogs who are older, have medical conditions (like arthritis), and severe anxiety and I know how help make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

A typical day

I love to give dogs as much attention as I possibly can and give them a fun and entertaining experience. I will play a lot of games with them, keeping them active throughout the day. I will also make sure they feel loved and cared for to ease any anxiety about being away from their owners/family while under my care.
