Must love pets!
Pet care experience
I love all animals! I have had dogs pretty much my whole life, and cats pretty much all my adult life. I have also owned guinea pigs and leopard geckos. I own 2 bearded dragons right now. So much personality! My beloved dog Cheyenne that I got when I was in middle school introduced me to training and I have since been interested in dog training and behavior and I am always striving to learn the newest positive reinforcement trainings. When I was little, I knew I wanted to do something with animals, I was thinking about being a veterinarian... After high school I enlisted in the United Stated Army Reserves I served 6 years. After I was out, I started college and eventually found a tech school that had a vet tech assist. program. While I was still in school, I got hired at a vet hospital. I loved working at a Veterinary Hospital as a vet tech assistant, and I loved what I did. Providing care for patients and information for clients and of course loving on the animals. What I enjoyed the most was learning about dentals and helping take the x-rays. I even got to help clean the teeth. I have worked at 2 different doggie daycares. I loved the dogs and will miss them, but I am ready to venture out on my own and start my own little business. I also have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I will extend the same care I give my own animals and those at my prior jobs on to your own fur kids. I am good with all breeds of dogs and cats. Mine range from 9lbs to 74lbs. I will spend time playing, feeding {if required} and taking outside. I can administrate meds if needed oral and injections. For dog walks I will take them to a local trail or dog park {I am 20min/13mil from Dakota memorial dog park!}. Or just a simple walk around the neighborhood. What Jessica would like to know about your pet? Any special commands or special feeding instructions. Sensitive spots that they do not want to be pet. Any anxiety or other behavior issues. No breed restrictions. Additional Skills Oral Medication Administration Can provide daily exercise. Injected Medication Administration
Reviews
Jessica did such a fantastic job and I was so pleased! I was concerned about my younger cat because of an abusive background and because he didn't do well when I was gone for two days. This time I was leaving for five so I really wanted someone who would spend a bit of time getting to know them and letting them know they weren't alone. My Lilybug usually hides from all strangers and from the pictures I could see that she was out and about, concerned, but not hiding. Firefly (the one that was abused) also appeared to adapt to her well. When I got home after five days, both cats reacted like I had just been gone for a day! They were well taken care of and I will use Jessica in the future.
Jessica was patient and gentle wit my dog. She was a life saver in supporting me in giving subcutaneous fluids to my dog each morning. She arrives on time and provides quality client services. I would highly recommend her.
Jessica provided stellar service, above and beyond. She had to deal with record heat and went out of her way to make sure my dog was comfortable and safe. She communicated with me regularly. I felt my dog was in excellent hands and would gladly use her again.
This was the first time leaving my 1 year old cats for more than 8 hours. Jessica did a great job! I was able to enjoy my trip knowing that they were being looked in on by someone who cares.
