Hey there, I'm Jess, animal-lover extraordinaire. I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals ranging from ferrets to donkeys to Australian dingoes. I’ve been house/pet-sitting since I was a kid, and spent my high school years rehabilitating rescued horses and walking my neighbor's dogs. These days I’m studying public health, guiding climbing at Smith (although our season is ending) and have a sturdy old Subaru perfect for muddy dogs after some river play. I have experience with big, sometimes aggressive dogs as well and know some great spots just outside of town where I rarely see another dog-walker. Besides a couple hours a week in class, I have open availability and way too much energy for my lazy dog alone. I am already house-sitting over Thanksgiving, but I’m available for walks and visits with your pets during the day. I love all animals; pet rats, snakes, tarantulas, birds, pigs, whatever. All the best, Jess
