Hi I'm Jess! 😊 I love animals of all shapes and sizes and can't wait to meet yours! I have 10 years of professional pet caretaking experience and 34 years experience taking care of a variety of pets of famiy pets. In this time I professionally cared for over 600 animals and hope I do this for the rest of my life. *New clients: I lyft (have a chronic illness that prevents me from driving. I will charge a Meet & Greet fee (drop in price). Rover video chat Meet & Greets are FREE. I'm sorry for any inconvenience but costs me a lot of money to go back & forth. *Most recently I've been honing my pet care skills at a pet doggy daycare and training business. It made me miss taking care of the animals that age out of these types of facilities or are more comfortable in the comfort of their own home. 🐶🐕🐶🐕🐶🐕🐶🐕🐶🐕🐶🐕🐶🐕 I also grew up housesitting/ petsitting on a ranch a few times a year. I have experience caring for dogs of various breeds, ages and temperaments, as well as cats, bunnies, horses, pigs, goats, birds, turtles and fish. I also have surrounded with a house full of pets my whole life. 😸🐈😸🐈😸🐈😸🐈😸🐈😸🐈😸🐈 I have experience with administering medications orally, thyroid cream and have administered insulin shots. I also have cared for countless senior animals with a range of health issues (COD, doggie dementia, tripods, blind or hearing impaired, any many furbabies that have needed extra love & attention. I am happy to give them my undivided attention 24/7. In 2016 I was certified in Pet CPR & First Aid, Senior Dog Care, Hydrotherapy & Massage and small animal business. 🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰 I will treat your fur baby like they were my own.
