Pet care is basically my life, as I have no human kiddos. Disclaimer - I know CPR/first aid for humans. So, in the unfortunate event that I find myself in this situation, I would likely be able to adapt/translate that knowledge. Additional disclaimer - my pet care experience includes some time that I was a pet caregiver for my own pets. Which, I don't believe is actual experience for SOME people but if you're an individual who thinks of pets like family and wants them to live their best life, this counts in my book.

Safety, trust & environment
This will be in your home, as I have my own and rent. Pups will be leashed unless there's a sufficient fenced-in yard. I feel like I'm able to read pups to a certain degree and if they're uncomfortable with my presence to begin with, I respect that. I've learned cats especially need some time in beginning of stay to make sure I'm not a threat. That's totally ok.
Information Jessica R. would like to know about your pet
If they have any behavioral issues I need to be aware of and tips/tricks on how to manage those. Do they get along with other dogs? Are they weird around certain types of people? Please provide a heads-up so I can properly accommodate.
A typical day
Whatever pup/kitty toys I find in your house or provided will be used to their full potential. If your pup is up for it. I like to get them out to burn some energy by walking. Also, coming soon, a "pup-powered" scooter.

Pet care experience
I have a discount for new clients! If you're looking for boarding or house-sitting, consider drop-in's. Especially if you're located on West end (Neg/Ish). I will consider house-sitting for very select scenarios for repeat clients. Feel free to message for details. I have a pup-powered scooter (saving for a fat tire Winter version) that I'm wanting to gain some experience with (other people's dogs & training). If your dog is a runner and isn’t skittish, this might be an awesome way to exercise them. There will be a couple of brief training sessions before we can go for our first full ride, just to get them used to the activity. When you request me for a dog walk and want me to use the scooter, send me an additional message with your booking request. The outrigger (half-hooped shape piece that comes off side of scooter) is adjustable width, which makes it easy to adapt for different-sized dogs. They will wear a harness when we ride. They are attached by harness to the scooter. Feel free to message me with any questions. I've always had dogs and can't imagine life without them. I have cared for many cats through my time with Rover and working briefly at a Veterinary clinic. I'm in the market for a cat myself. The animals enhance my life as much as I (hope) I enhance theirs. I'm a trustworthy individual and hope I can help your furbabes make the most of their time apart from you, even though it's typically stressful for them. I have healthcare knowledge and know signs of illness. I can typically spot small issues & therefor prevent them from becoming problems (health, behavior, etc). I know how being a too busy working individual is and would like to help people in that situation, because I once needed help myself. Plus, I need the exercise (of walking or playing with them), too. :p I work from home which allows me flexibility with drop-in's.
Reviews


Thanks for always be great!


Great to have you watch the cats again!
Jessica watched my mother’s fur baby while she traveled to meet the rest of the family in California for a wedding. My mother was going to miss the trip because she didn’t have a dog sitter. Jessica communicated with me (I live in Texas) to make it all happen. She took excellent care of my mom’s senior dog. Jessica was a life saver. I highly recommend!

Jessica took excellent care of Eleanor!
