Zookeeper with a passion for dogs!
Pet care experience
I have had several different breeds of dogs throughout my life with various sitting/walking jobs for the past 8 or so years. I have formal education in animal training and enrichment and extensive experience with animal behavior. I am a pet sitter because I understand the importance of providing the proper care for our pets when we are away or otherwise unable to do so ourselves. I enjoy walking, jogging, playing fetch, visiting the dog park, and taking trips to pet stores with my dogs and I believe it makes for great socialization exercises with any dog. My resident dog, Ringo, is a 6-year-old Australian shepherd/blue heeler mix that I rescued 2 years ago. He has taught me more about dog behavior and training than any class could have! Through our time together, Ringo has learned lots of tricks, and has learned to enjoy the company of other dogs. My newest addition is Zelda, a 1-year-old blue heeler, who absolutely loves people and other dogs. She helped me become accustomed to how puppy behavior is different from adult dog behavior. Currently I work part time, allowing me to have lots of time at home to spend caring for my pets. I would spend 90-100% of my time directly with the visitor pet, as I currently only allow pet sitting on days when I do not work. In addition, I am also a cat and reptile enthusiast, with care experience with both, professionally and personally, so let me know if you need a cat sitter or exotic animal sitter!
Reviews
Jessica took good care of Shadow all week, thank you very much!
Jessica was wonderful with our two dogs. She stayed at our Grosse Ile home for 8 days while we were on vacation. Dogs were happy and it was obvious that they were well cared for. She also, left our house neat and clean with all mail brought in for us. I would definitely recommend Jessica to family and friends.
Keiko loved her walk with Jessica. Jessica is very great with dogs and a great person. Will definitely be using her again!
Jessica has always had a love for animals. She has several pets of her own & is very responsible & caring toward all of them. Her range of knowledge & her compassion toward animals never ceases to amaze me. She has two of the most loving well behaved doggies I have ever known. You couldn't ask for a better sitter for your pets.

Information Jessica T. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences, I love them all equally! I do prefer to know your dog's general demeanor, any history of aggression, and typical activity level.
A typical day
I like to train dogs while having fun, so during walks we will go to parks, walk around dog parks if possible, and explore the neighborhood. We will never walk the same route twice, because variety is the spice of life!
