Reviews
Jessica and family did a wonderful job taking care of our big 6 month old pup. As nervous pup parents, we loved all the communication, photos, and videos. Jessica also worked with Millie on some of her developing skills like recall and loose leash walking. Their 2 dogs were great playmates for Millie, they tolerated Millie's puppy behaviors and Millie was exhausted after all the playing they did together. We certainly will be booking with Jessica again!
Excellent sitter—experienced, calm, loves dogs, sends pics!!
Teddy had a great first stay with Jessica at her home. Photos and videos were so fun to recieve and she was very flexible with our time line.. Teddy will be back to stay again.
Jess was wonderful. We were nervous, having never boarded our dogs before. She sent many videos and updates. Wonderful experience! We will definitely use her again!

Your pet will be treated as a guest first. We will either leash or crate our pet to help your pet feel comfortable to start introductions to rest of pack. A new dog home can be overwhelming for your dog and we allow for that adjustment time. Your dog will have full access to the house with only gating off stairs to ensure supervision. Also preventing pets from going downstairs unsupervised and protect any door darting for a loose pet.

Information Jessica M. would like to know about your pet
Tell me what your dogs routine and feeding times. I have no breed preferences but am cautious of agressive/unsocialized dogs. Does your dog do any tricks? Are you working on any at home? What are your worries/fears? I want to listen to help you feel comfortable and to offer your pet the best experience. Crate trained is preferred for all dogs, but make exceptions for small dogs we can gate in kitchen.
A typical day
When your dog is with Jessica they will be considered part of our family. If your dog is high energy we will have walks, back yard play (fetch, frisbee, bubbles, and a clean, safe back yard). We are close to the dog park and will have fun running and playing and closely supervised. High energy and playful will be a good match to our Doberman who always wants to play and have a good time and is very socialized and trained in intermediate commands as well as is in AKC FCAT events. We are so proud of him! If your dog is low key (chill) or senior they will be loved to pieces by my daughter who will snuggle, play, and adopt them ♡. Our Golden Retriever is also mellow but enjoys chase me with a toy in her mouth. She has a soft mouth and is very gentle. We call her our ice breaker for new guest dogs. Example of a schedule for a 6 month puppy we cared for: 5 AM outside/feed 5:30 to 6 outside/backyard play 6 to 7 AM free time 7AM outside for 15 to 20 min, then freetime 8 AM outside for 10 min then freetime 9 AM Walk (1 mile) then freetime 10 AM to 12:30 PM crate rest 12:30 to 1 ourside 20 min then freetime 1 to 2 PM play/pets snuggle 2 PM outside 10 minutes then freetime 3 to 4 PM play outside while I do yard work 4 to 5 crate feed and rest in crate 5 PM outside for 20 min then put on lead in house with an engagement toy while prep dinner 6 PM walk after dinner (2 miles) 7 PM rest/down stay/ cuddle (water up for the night) 8 PM outside 20 min then rest/down stay/cuddle 9 PM outside 10 min then bedtime Outside time supervised by being outside with pet. Crate time is for rest and safety only otherwise they are out and about!

Fitting your pet into our routine is easily done! We crate feed 2x's per day. 7 AM and 4 PM. We find controlled eating helps prevent food theft that can lead to sour stomachs and promotes no poop accidents in the home from getting sick from eating another dog's food. Morning play and rest time as we get ready for the day. My husband works from home so is home throughout the day with some appointments taking him away from home. When we are away all pets are crated for safety. If your pet is not crate trained we have made exceptions for small/medium dogs we can crate in the kitchen. Supper at 4 PM and outside play and individual one on one time as supper is made by either me or my husband. This is when we will go over commands and treats for rewards. At supper we ask all pets to lay down near table and if they are not willing to keep noses down get crated or leashed near us. After supper we go for a walk (weather permitting). Then rest and playtime before bed at 10 PM.
