Availability

I work from home with a flexible schedule and with notice can be available. I find the best way to take mental breaks is to walk and play with my dog. I am my happiest in the sun with a pup at my feet.

In your home I will respect your space and ensure your dog is filled with extra love while your gone and make the visits count with whatever their favorites are wether that’s belly rubs, fetch, long walks or all of the above!

Information Jessica I. would like to know about your pet

To board in my home they need to tolerate other dogs and kids. My kids and dog will respect their energy and attention level whether that’s playing hard or couch potato. If they do better on their own I am happy to care for them in your own home.

A typical day

We start our day with a potty break and breakfast. Accompany the family when we Walk the kids to school (weather permitting ). Come home for some rest; usually at my feet as I work. I take frequent breaks to go in the backyard with the pup. Typically a walk midday. More naps while I work or may play with toys available. Most visiting dogs spend time playing with my dog when we aren’t active always under my supervision. May give a stimulation toy like licky bowl. Dinner time followed by family walk. Cuddles while I watch my nightly program. Potty break. Then tucked in for bed. My husband doesnt allow our dogs in our bed but lets our visitors sleep with us if they need to feel safe. We try to follow whatever sleep routine your dog is used to. If they dont want to be in my room with our dogs for sleep I will sleep with them in a separate room. My boys favorite is when a dog chooses them as their fav place to rest their head at night.

They called it puppy love..🎶

Pet care experience

I am a fellow dog Mom who treats your pups as my own. For me a house full of dogs is a happy home. In my home I have my own two pups Lucy and Honey who LOVE having visitors and playmates for the day or extended time. I have been fortunate to connect with many wonderful dogs and families through this platform. I unfortunately can not take on any recurring visits at this time as my regulars keep me busy. But I am available for the occasional daycare, boarding, or drop in needed here and there or for a specific time frame. I want to say yes to everyone as it is hard to refuse time with a dog but I need to maintain a manageable schedule and be able to safely supervise who I have in my home with my own dogs.

Jessica took wonderful care of our cat while we were away. She was reliable, consistent and very caring - sending us updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Our cat got used to her quickly and seemed very happy and settled. We are grateful for her care and highly recommend.

Jessica was absolutely amazing; She sent me pictures and video of Layla playing and having a great time with the other dogs. She took great care of her; I'm sure Layla can't wait to go back and have another sleep over. lol
