Pet care experience
Hi pet parents, I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 13 years old. I’m a very open hearted person and definitely an animal lover! I’ve trained my pets very well and my parents as well! I am also a substitute teacher as well! I’ve had all type of animals, dogs, cats, reptiles and small animals as well! I would love to meet your furry friends and have a blast with them!

My weirdo dog doesn’t like many people and loved her! Using her again!
Jessy has been looking after my 7yo pittie mix for two months now. Ruthie is always happy seeing Jessy, and I know that she is well taken care of when she's there. I was honestly shocked to find Ruthie didn't eat Jessy's cat because Ruthie is just... Well, Ruthie. Haha. But apparently everything was fine. Jessy sends me photos throughout the day, so I feel less apart from my fur baby. :)
We booked for 4 nights with Jessica. She was good at communicating with me via text. Her boyfriend came out to pick up dogs' stuff on drop-off day. We thought that our dog was in good hands and we could enjoy our vacation with easy mind. The next day afternoon, 12:20 pm, we got Jessica's text asking to pick up our dog saying he did not sleep at all barking and did not get along well with her dogs. When I picked up my dog, he was smelly, although we washed him the day before we dropped him. He couldn't have proper eye contact with us and couldn't follow simple commands. Since my dog only stayed with Jessica for 1 night, I've gotten revised payment. I was surprised with $37 extra cancellation fee, on top of the 1st night stay. I understand that it was frustrating situation for Jessica as well as us, who had to cancel rest of the family vacation plan. I didn't feel this cancellation fee was fair.
Jessica has looked after my cat before and was extremely loving. She engages well with dogs and cats. She also has a multitude of adaptable skills when it comes to handling different pets.

I do have a crate available, plenty of treats, beds, toys and if your dog/cat needs a bath I definitely have extra shampoos, and grooming supplies. I care for my animals by having them on a stead schedule daily and provide them love and care!

Information Jessica J. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how they are with other pets. if they have any allergies and or cant have certain foods. If they are trained to use the bathroom on pee pads or outside. if they are food aggressive or toy aggressive. Whether not they have anxiety and if they know how to walk on the leash. Do they have a schedule to eat or when they have to use the bathroom.
A typical day
I love to take pets on long walks around my neighborhood with stops made at the local enclosed park to play and allow them to run around. Your pets and I will run around for hours, play fetch, tag, and more. I also have a big apartment and we could play there as well- they wouldn’t be locked off or have any restrictions.
