Pet care experience

Confident with All Dogs

I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 9 years old, we had a mutt, a Border Collie, and a Pit Bull. This past year, I also dog-sat a friend’s Akita for a few months. I absolutely love animals! I don’t currently have a pet of my own, so I really enjoy the opportunity to care for others. I’d love the opportunity to help you out and spend time with your pet!

Jessica took amazing care of my dog Cooper. I felt completely at ease whilst I was traveling abroad knowing that she was staying in my home and taking care of him. She kept me updated and went above and beyond to make it positive and perfect for me. I will definitely be booking with Jessica again.

Jessica went above and beyond with Hazel to meet her extensive exercise needs. Regularly sent updates and Hazel seemed to enjoy her little weekend away.

Jess was amazing! She took such great care of our pups over the weekend, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’re always really nervous leaving them since they’re basically our children, but she immediately put us at ease with consistent updates and communication. Even when there was an unexpected hiccup with the door (completely out of her control), she handled everything calmly and professionally. We especially appreciated her being there for them during the storms, since they get so scared—knowing they had someone patient and comforting with them meant a lot. We’d absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

While caring for your pet, I’ll do my best to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible. I’ll keep them on the same schedule they’re used to and follow the rules and routines they’re familiar with. Whether I’m boarding or house-sitting for your furry friend. I try to make it as comfortable for your furry friend as possible

A typical day

I am happy to take your pet on walks in the neighborhood or at some of the parks nearby. I also keep a couple extra toys on hand that they can play with. And if they have a high-energy level, I can bring them along with me when I jog or we could go on a long walk.

When you book with me, I’ll set up a meet and greet so we can go over a short list of questions about your pet. These mostly cover their regular routine, behavior around other people/other animals, and any medications they may need. Some of the questions we will go over during the meet and greet are: **What times do you feed your pets and how much? **Do your pets have any medication? And if so, how much, how many times a day? Also, if there are any special instructions for administering the medication, could you please provide instructions? **Have they had any procedures recently that I would need to keep an eye on? (like a broken leg or cut, etc.) **Does your pet have any allergies to treats, ect? **How often do your pets need to go to the bathroom, and typically what times of day? **How far and how often do you walk your pups? What is the typical route? And are there any weather restrictions that you would like me to follow regarding walking them? (like rain or cold weather) **Can your pets be left alone to roam free, or do they need to be in a crate when left alone? How long can they be left alone for? **How does your pet behave around other dogs, cats, children, and men? **Are there any known triggers your pet has, and is there a routine to combat the stress? (uncomfortable with loud noises, storms, etc.) **Are there any unusual tendencies your pet has? (taking a bite of dry food, carrying to a different room to eat off the floor, is an older pup and many have confused tendencies) **Are there any grooming needs **Are there any extra grooming needs? **Are there any house rules I should continue to enforce while boarding? (Ex: not allowed on furniture or restricted from certain areas of the house.) **What are your pet’s favorite toys, games, or activities? **How often do you want updates? **In the event I cannot reach you, do you have an emergency contact I can call? **Additionally, is there a specific veterinary clinic or animal hospital you would prefer I take your pet to in case of an emergency?
