Information Jessica M. would like to know about your pet

How does your dog do around other dogs? What are their likes and dislikes? For walks - are there any triggers, such as being approached by a child/person/other dog or loud vehicles, I should know about. Being aware of this is helpful so I can avoid these triggers if needed. The happiness and safety of your pet is my biggest concern! Please let me know if your dog has any disabilities or behaviors that need to be tended to. I have experience caring for senior dogs, and reactive dogs. I want everything to go as smoothly as possible for you and you pet, and am happy to continue implementing specifics of a dog's routine while you're away.

A typical day

Some of my favorite activities to do with dogs are walking on trails, and finding open areas outside to play! I also love taking strolls downtown to get a coffee, and take in the city sights with my four-legged pals. I'm

Reliable animal lover!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Jess. I'm located in Waltham, about a twenty-minute walk from Brandeis and Moody street. Growing up, I always had a slew of pets, and a few beloved dogs through the years. I always lived with a dog in my family home until I went off to college (my parents have a thing for labs - I've lived and loved with at least one of each color!). I started pursuing pet sitting a few years ago during undergrad to fulfill my dog loving soul, and have been doing it ever since. I currently have a few friends and clients that I routinely care for, and am welcoming to new clients as well.

Jessica was great with both my dogs. She was able to give my older dog his insulin and all walks were done perfectly on schedule. I highly recommend her.
