Availability

I am currently still looking for a full time job - which means I have a pretty open availability! I am currently pet-watching full time and plan to make it my full focus. I always over-communicate to the best of my ability so if anything is different or changes, I keep everyone informed! I do have a new part time job that usually schedules me between 4-6 hours at a time. It is flexible so if I have enough notice I can schedule around them.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to over-communicate so if there is anything I can do to make you feel safer while your pet is in my care, please let me know. I have previous dog-walking experience with a small company, and I carry my safety procedures with me from that. Of course, this varies depending on the pet, so I like to go over all of that with the parent before. I am a nervous pet parent myself and trust very few people with my babies. I take safety and trust very seriously. For me, there is no such thing as over-communication. Please, never feel like you are bothering me with communication about your pet. I love taking pet pics also so if you like those I can deliver!

Information Jessica O. would like to know about your pet

I love all animals, and it helps to know what your pet is like! I generally like to do a meet and greet before going further just to get to know the pet and the parent first. It always helps to know their behaviors and what they enjoy doing for fun!

A typical day

We can go for a walk or play where-ever the pup parent is comfortable! With dogs, I love to play catch and can play for hours! For kitties - the laser pointer is very popular in my house, but I know cats can be funny, so I usually ask the parent what they like to do! My cats also really enjoy crinkly toys or anything with a bell. As stated before, I also really enjoy taking photos of animals, so I always try to snap a few cute pics!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Jessica, and I am a huge animal lover. I currently have 3 kitty cats! In the past Ive had dogs, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and a few fish. I get along extra well with cats and pups, but I am willing to care for any animal! I have had one pup for most of my life and he was my best friend. I have a lot of experience house and animal sitting that starts over 13 years ago when I was in school. I can provide references for any past stays as well, if requested. I also love taking pups for walks and going out for long play sessions! I am willing to work with any special instructions and promise great care all the time. Feel free to contact me with any questions!
