Jessica P.

UPDATE: We have recently moved from Texas to Maryland! We are settled in our new home and ready to take on furclients. Super excited to meet new furbabies! :)

My name is Jessica, I have a little boy who's 8 years old and we both LOVE animals! We currently have 2 of our own furbabies in our house and we love them to pieces! Your animals will be well taken care of and treated with the same amount of love as you give your furbabies! I have grown up mainly around dogs, but have also had pets of these types: Fish, Gerbils, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Birds (Green Quaker, Love Birds, Quakers, Cockatiels, Parakeets, African Grey, and even an Umbrella Cockatoo), as well as a rabbit & bearded dragons! Can't you tell I love animals?! :)

My house is mostly carpet free - in case of accidents (also in case my son spilled something haha) hopefully none will happen! We will be replacing the carpet with some new wood type flooring in the near future! Animals are unpredictable sometimes! I have a medium size doggy door leading to my fenced backyard for any small/medium sized dogs to easily have outdoor access when they're needing it in between walks. I will also grant the bigger dogs access to the backyard for some refreshing sunlight, but have them back inside before they get overwhelmed with the lovely summer heat we get here!

I have experience pet sitting way back when I was around 11 years old. I started pet sitting for my neighbor's animals and through out the years, I have grown to learn how to care for various animals.

I also am a foster doggy parent and have fostered a few dogs who have already found their fur-ever homes! I have rescued 2 pregnant momma dogs from the pound and took care of them while they gave birth and kept them safe and secure until they were all ready to be found their fur-ever homes!

Why I love dog sitting
I believe I was a dog lover the moment I was born! I begged and begged my parents for a dog for years until finally my mother took me to adopt our first dog when I was 8 years old... Muffin - she was a Shih-Tuz puppy when we got her and she lived to be almost 14 years old before we had to put her down for health reasons.

About my yard
My backyard is fully fenced. I check regularly for any broken boards, holes, etc to make sure no sneaky escapees can get out (like my two furgirls). Their safety is my #1 priority!

My experience administering medication
Yes - if the medication is taken orally or through drops I am fully capable of doing so. I have given a few diabetic dogs insulin shots in the past.
