Pet care experience

I love any and all pets!

I currently work at the Ames Pet Resort and I prefer spending my time with animals. I was a shift lead at a doggy daycare for 5 years and have been a kennel attendant for 8 years. I am one of the first people in Iowa to become a Certified Professional Animal Care Provider through the Professional Animal Care Certification Council. I have such a big heart for animals and nothing makes me happier than simply being in their presence! I would love to ease your mind while you are on vacation or just at work! Any service I offer is always up for discussion if there is anything special or specific you would like me to do for your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I can keep your pups company on the couch or play with them outside! I am very flexible and want to make sure your fur babies are at their most comfortable.

Jessica was amazing! She went above and beyond to see that my two Doodles were taken care of and I would give her a 10 star rating. In addition to caring for my dogs, the house was immaculate when we returned.

Jessica does an amazing job with my pets, and my cat adores her!! She was patient with my dogs who are a bit reactive and took her time letting them adjust to her. She was gracious enough to complete a few household tasks while I was gone for the week. I will use her again!

Jessica was amazing! It’s obvious she loves animals and we were able to have peace of mind because of her extensive experience with animals. We would love to have Jessica watch Clementine again!!
