Pet care experience

River Oaks Pet Lover

Hi! I live in River Oaks, Houston. I am a cancer survivor and retired interior designer. I’m also currently a stay at home Mom with an eight year-old boy. I have had standard poodles by my side for over 20 years. I just recently lost my nearly 14 year old Spoo and I currently have a miniature poodle. I have lots of experience with senior dogs. I know that they have specific needs and will often need special food, and or supplements, plus a lot of tender, loving care. On the opposite end of the spectrum, my mini-poo is still a young buck and just about to turn 3, so he obviously needs lots of attention, potty breaks, play time and working on proper puppy behaviors. I also have lots of experience with taking care of cats. Caring for your fur-baby family member/s is of the utmost importance. I hope that we can be a good fit, and that I can provide you with peace of mind when you require help. Thank you!

Jessica is amazing. There are very few people who are as knowledgeable about dogs, specific breeds, their personalities and unique attributes. She has unmatched compassion and understanding for each dog owner’s furry family member. She has become an invaluable part of my dog’s life and he loves going on his walks with Jessica. Her clear love and passion for dogs, along with her attention to detail and punctuality to walking our dogs, has transformed her position as not only our preferred dog walker, but also an extension of our family.

Schedule

I’m currently a stay at home Mom to an 8 year-old boy. I have a miniature poodle and have lots of time to dedicate to the animals on a daily basis. I am a cancer survivor, and decided to semi retire from my interior design career. I have a deep love for animals, and caring for them brings me joy.

Pets

A typical day

Doggies can expect regular walks around the neighborhood to stimulate their brains and exhaust them mentally and physically. Also, lots of playtime in the house, as well as comfortable areas to rest with lots of snuggles. I can administer medication a or do special food preparation. And I’m always happen to give some extra treats!

I live in a single home with a fenced yard (12-foot) fence) and a locking gate. I pride myself on keeping a beautiful and clean home. I would love to hear about your fur baby family-member, and anything you think that would be helpful in regard to their care.
