Hi, I’m Jess! I grew up surrounded by animals of all sizes–from horses to rats. My family owned and operated Elite Dogs Training & Boarding in West Sacramento, CA, where I officially started on payroll at just eleven years old. From an early age, I was trained to do it all—cleaning kennels, grooming animals, helping with training, and assisting at the front desk with clerical tasks and customer service. That background gave me not only a lifelong love for dogs but also the skills, responsibility, and confidence to handle pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I bring both professional experience and genuine affection to every pet I look after. I'm the perfect pet sitter for you because I have over a decade of hands-on experience in a professional dog training and boarding environment and am skilled in safe handling, grooming basics, and kennel/house sanitation. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Additionally, I am attentive, reliable, and communicative with pet parents. Your pets will be cared for like family—with safety, comfort, and lots of love as my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages, photos, and details about our time together.
