Pet care experience
Currently my time is split between being a stay-at-hone mom for my 3 year old and running the rescue. But with recently having had kiddo #2 (May 12th), I have switched from doing full time work to only doing walks and teaching part time so that my kids can join me. I have worked in the rescue world for about two decades. And I've been working with animals in general for just as long. I started working at Frisky's Wildlife and Primate Sanctuary and then I worked for the Department of Natural Resources. After that I was in retail at various pet stores. For several years I also was a manager at a local doggie day camp, boarding, training and grooming facility. I have extensive experience in most every aspect of animal care including CPR, first aid and vet tech basics. We own our home here in Elkridge and it includes many acres. Many of which we spent extensive money on to fence in. Sharing the land we have a small hobby/rescue farm with horses, sheep, chicken, peacocks and even a sweet potbelly pig. I own 2 border collies and one cat. So my kids are very used to animals. He's "assisted" me with many pet sittings and dog walkings. He prefers the smaller dogs of course that can't drag him along. But as long as the animals are kid friendly, it's fine and he loves learning how to walk them. He's been around dogs of every size. Our neighbors own a Newfoundland that he adores and we watch as needed. We have a separate pet room just for overnight guests, including crates/cages as needed.

Jessica helped us out last minute and was wonderful to communicate with!! She was right on time and took great care of our dog. So happy!
Very reliable and treated my babies with love. I would recommend her to anyone!
Jessica walked my dog three times a week for a couple months and I highly recommend her! She is very reliable, very kind and I would definitely use her again!

Information Jessica K. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences. I've been around essentially most every breed. My only concern is that the dog must be kid friendly if staying with me, and can not be fearful of strangers - aka not a bite risk since I have kirs.
A typical day
Our neighborhood is secluded in the center of the Patapsco State Park. So when the weather is nice we regularly go for walks out the lane and sometimes even down the trails. The stream and river are near by so it's always a fun place to visit if it's not too chilly to stick our toes in.
