Gentle and friendly with senior pet experience

Pet care experience

I've grown up with all kinds of pets from a young age. During the first year of the pandemic, I rescued, fostered and then rehomed 9 puppies/dogs who were sadly abandoned all while having 4 family dogs of our own. Recently, I was providing daily hospice care for my senior 12 year old German Shepherd until she passed on. I am gentle, caring and good with timid ones and to be honest not much of a disciplinarian but I will be firm when I need to be. I am good with senior pets and have experience with taking them to and being involved in physiotherapy care and feeding medication and just taking their cue and allowing them to dictate their pace. I have been pet-sitting and dog walking as part-time work now for 3 years, as I am always the go-to person in my friendship circle and decided to make a go at it while I freelance as a designer and I find it very rewarding. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible at the moment. I am also based quite centrally so it wouldn't be too much trouble for me to travel to any boroughs. I enjoy exploring the city with my 4 legged clients and discovering little adventures along the way. I would take the owner's heed when it comes their pet, home and boundaries and follow accordingly because consistency is very important for a pet.

Jess is super attentive with both our cats. We could tell that both the boys loved being around her. She also kept us updated on how they were doing everyday and sent us photos and videos which reassured us while we were all the way in Australia. Would definitely use Jess again in the future :)

Jessica is my most trusted dogsitters whenever I need someone to care for dog. My dog is very active and also has separation anxiety. Jessica knows how to manage her well and spends a lot of quality time with her. Jessica is also very responsive via text throughout the day. She made it a point to send me picture updates throughout the day, and it really helps to ease my anxiety as pawrent being away from my pet. She is also a rescuer, so she has a ton of experience with dogs (and cats!). Most importantly, she has a huge heart for animals and it always shows in the way she cares for pets.

Information Jessica T. would like to know about your pet

Things like dietary needs, allergies, temperament, health condition, medical needs are some of the information that would help me cater to my dog clients. Vet and emergency phone numbers as well and any sort of house rules and boundaries that need to be followed consistently.

A typical day

I try to tailor the walks to each individual dog and follow their pace and take their lead. If a dog is more of a walker and enjoys long walks, I'm happy to explore the neighbourhood with them. Some dogs prefer shorter walks perhaps due to their age or due to their physical limitations and some I would take to parks to meet other dog friends and have a bit of a run with some games.
