Information Jessica K. would like to know about your pet

I have a lot of experience with anxious pups. I’ve had a pup that had bad separation anxiety. For boarding we do require pups be able to stay in a create for 2 hours at most while we are gone. This is only on occasion and doesn’t happen all the time. We do have one large create to facilitate this if needed.

A typical day

When a pup first arrives at our home, I take them to the backyard to check it all out and use the bathroom if they need. They then will come inside and get to check out the common areas of our house. Maybe have a snack our baby has discarded to the floor (so please let me know if your pup has any food allergies). We sometimes go outside and turn on the bubble machine (some pups love this!). I am always making sure it is not too hot out for the dogs to be out and if it is rainy/ stormy out we stay in and play. Please feel free to ask any questions. I also provide a minimum of 2 photos a day for boarding.

Love dogs of all sizes!

Pet care experience

I have had a dog since the age of 10 when I saved up from my paper route to get my first dog Buffy, a Pomeranian! We had a very large labsky (lab/ husky) and a cocker spaniel that we loved dearly. We have a fully fenced back yard for some new four legged friends to run around in and play fetch if they’d like. I have a lot of experience with anxious pups.

Jessica was available on a very short notice request and I couldn’t have asked any anyone better! Sent pics a few times a day with updates on how our girl was doing. She was very caring and communicative. Would 1000% book with her again!

Our golden retriever Hank had a wonderful stay with Jessica and her family while we were on a 9 day vacation. Jessica updated us regularly with pictures and texts. We know Hank was treated like he was a part of her family! We also appreciated her being flexible with the pick up time when our return flight was delayed by half a day. Thank you Jessica!

Jessica was so wonderful! She did great with our senior doggo. We loved how she sent daily photos and kept us updated throughout the trip. Knowing our dog was with such a loving family gave us so much peace of mind while being away. We would gladly board with her again!
