I love each dog for who they are ?

Pet care experience

I connect with dogs immediately on a deep level that I can’t even fully explain. Petting a cute fluffkin makes my day so I will approach each job as if it is the privilege it is. You’re trusting me with someone you love deeply and I respect that. I’m big on safety- hold the leash securely, watch for dogs stepping in or eating anything. I can perform doggy cpr and I’m not afraid to scoop something out of their mouth if there’s an emergency. I’ve actually pet sat for some unusual pets (a big goat was my favorite, a family of geese were the trickiest) so dogs are a walk in the park! My rescue is now ten years old and she’s been the light of my life. Her recovery process was tough but it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I make my own schedule so I am available at odd hours and often last minute. I’ll take lots of pictures or videos so you know your pet is happy with me. Below is a recommendation a friend was kind enough to share with me after writing it for a different dog walking job: When you see Jessica interacting with animals, it is as if she has known this animal for years and is without a doubt the only person to know and understand their needs. It makes her happy to know that other dogs are happy - I know this because I have seen her interactions with many animals and have witnessed her interact with her own dog. I know fullwell that she will be attentive, careful and fun! She should be the poster girl for [company] and she has not even begun.

Jessica is the kindest dog sitter I've ever hired! She did a phenomenal job taking care of my Yorkie while I was on vacation. My puppy was groomed, relaxed, and happy when I came back and it was clear Jessica had spent a good amount of quality time with her. They had formed a special bond so I continued to use Jessica as an occasional dog walker. Plus she's super funny and easy to talk to. Worth every penny!

Jessica has a pure and abundant love for dogs. Taking care of those around her is her nature and always has been. For the past 15 years she’s worked in a hospital, as a nanny, and in the hospitality industry. She thrives in jobs that require great care and personal connections. Growing up she had several pets and pet sat for many more- and not just dogs! In recent years she has put so much love and effort into her rescue dog, it is amazing to see someone so passionate. It makes sense that she wants to spend as much time as possible helping as many dogs as she can!

Jessica is kind, responsible, and brilliant. She loves her own pup (Dahlia) more than anything in this world. She is a natural caregiver and dog lover with a great sense of fun. With her, your pet is in the very best of hands.

Information Jessica S. would like to know about your pet

I love ALL breeds! I’d like to know how your dog tends to receive strangers, and what makes them happy whether it’s amping them up to play, giving treats, or sitting quietly and comforting them. I’d also like to know what they dislike- loud noises, crowded areas, other dogs, being pet in certain spots, etc. to make sure I look out for their needs.

A typical day

I love giving snuggles and pets, I usually stick around for some bonding time after a walk so the dog won’t feel jarred by being suddenly dumped back inside and left alone. I love playing tug of war and fetch. My favorite way to spend the day is hiking or at the park with my dog!
