Individualized care for fur babies.
Pet care experience
I have taken care of many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I understand that each animal is different and may have different needs, but they all need love, attention, and exercise too! That is what I'm here for; your pets are family and my family and I will treat them with the individualized care they may need. I understand travel can get delayed, if you need a time adjustment I can certainly work with your schedule.
Reviews
They took the best care of my pup Georgia!! She played all day long which was apparent in how tired she was when we got home. Jessica has a great house and backyard for the pups. Your due child will be in good hands!
Jessica watched our two boys while we were out of town. She frequently sent me updates and pictures to assure me that they were doing well and happy. It put me at ease knowing they were having a good time while we were away.
Jessica was wonderful! She had great communication and took lots of pics. We have an anxious dog and she was patient and understanding with him.
Jessica was amazing with my Chase. Chase enjoyed the attention she gave him, especially the hugs and cuddles. We will definitely use Jessica's services again.

Safety, trust & environment
In the near future, we'll be adding a fence to our one acre yard and hopefully, a wash station. Until we add those features, and since I'm home during the day, I can walk your pup(s) every ~2 hours. We have walking trails and live in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. On hot days, I will put out a dog pool. During the fall, our favorite time of year, we'll be outside a lot! In the winter, I ask you bring a jacket or sweater if your pup needs it. Your dog(s) does(do) need to be crate trained if staying over night. We have an extra crate and beds if needed. If your dog has a specialized feeding schedule, I will follow your instructions. I will also request vet info and an emergency contact should any issues arise. You will always be informed beforehand and I'll make a note on their record in case you need me again. I do have a 0 tolerance policy for biting and causing harm; if this occurs I will call you right away, or an emergency contact, for immediate pickup within the hour and request compensation with the help of Rover. In addition, your dog will no longer be allowed in my home. If your dog cannot be picked up by a trusted individual, within an hour of the issue, I will charge $5 for every 15 minutes beyond the hour.

Information Jessica K. would like to know about your pet
Special needs, behaviors, or triggers that will require separate and individualized attention. Their vet, food allergies, and/or if they take medicine. We will need a record from the vet that the medicine they take was legally prescribed and detailed instructions on administering medication or injections. We also need an updated immunization record, vet contact information including hours of operation, as well as emergency contact info for boarding. This protects myself, my home, the care I provide, and you/your animal. I have first aid supplies, but I don't have a CPR license to treat dogs.
A typical day
If your dog loves fetch or interactive 1:1 play, let me know! Who doesn't love playing with dogs all day? I will provide video and/or photo updates throughout the day to your Rover messenger, as well.

Availability
I'm home full-time during the week and have children. Although I don't allow my child to pet your dog without supervision, it still is important that your dog(s) is/are child friendly.
