Availability

I have a great roster of regular dog clients that I host for daycare and boarding services to on a regular basis. There are always about 3-8 dogs here all the time. I am here every day and my husband who works outside the home, is here everyday as well so the dogs are very rarely alone unless it’s for me to go pick up my husband from the train nearby.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and plenty of friendly dogs between daycare dogs and dogs boarding to keep your pup or pups company! I can crate your dog if requested or preferred. I have one large wire metal crate or you can provide your own! My neighborhood is great for going on walks with plenty of quiet streets and sidewalks for safety in busier areas. I have experience with pack walks (multiple dogs at once) and I also have plenty of experience with different harnesses and leads depending on your dog’s needs. I have some training experience as well, as I have taken classes with my own dogs in the past. I have a close friend that is a professional dog & person trainer that I can turn to in times of need and or recommend for you and your Pup, just ask me!

Information Jessica M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, or personality traits I should be aware of. Certainly any rules or routine you have I’d like to keep them as close to that as possible, it cuts down on a dogs anxiety and shortens the adjustment period being in a new environment. Any dietary needs or no-no’s.

A typical day

I Love making a dog feel comfortable and safe and free to have fun or relax depending on their personality! I love to play with them to get the energy out as well as cuddle them up if affection is what they need. I pride myself on getting along with dogs quickly and appropriately depending on their comfort level. We have beautiful walking trails near us as well which i’d love to explore with your pup/s if that’s something you think they’d like! For all those small dog owners or fellow Dachshund parents, I do have doggie stairs for furniture. No little legs left behind!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of my own as well as neighbors and friends dogs since I was 10 years old! I lived in NYC for 7 years and walked and sat for a variety of dogs through another app based company, as well as having my own private clients and now I live in NJ! My husband managed a doggie resort and daycare facility and has plenty of experience with Dogs himself and will be in the home with dogs as well.

I highly recommend Jessica for taking care of your dog. She is very friendly and took great care of my dog and was always prompt in replying to my messages.

My 13 year old Beagle, Milan, loves it there. She comes home exhausted from playing with the younger dogs. I love the videos that Jessica sends at the end of the day. Jessica is very easy to book and work with, very flexible and understanding. Her location is quite convenient for me. Needless to say, I highly recommend.

After a short trial stay, Blaze and Marley just spent nine days with Jessica, and once again, she was amazing! Both dogs were on medication (one even needed eye cream), and she handled everything with such care. She sent regular video updates and kept us totally at ease. The dogs came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We’re so glad we found Jessica and her husband, they truly loves what they do.
