I work at home full time during the day and never work weekends or evenings. We love to explore our area trails, parks, mountains, and lakes on my free time. I have three boys that adore dogs as much as I do and provide extra play with the pups.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard in with plenty of indoor and outdoor toys. I have two kiddie pools I fill with water and sand if the pups want to dig or cool down on the hot summer days. After work I take my dog outside for some play time and burn off energy. During my working hours she has the freedom to go in and out of the house as she pleases since I'm home with her. In the evenings we go for a walk when it starts to cool down and enjoy the back yard again before settling with a bone to end the night. The pups get frozen kongs or non rawhide treats/bones throughout the day to keep them engaged and busy. My pups have professional training and I work with them daily on sharpening skills and using good manners. In the clients home I let out your pups for a walk, potty break, play time and much needed snuggles if they want.

Information Jessica V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. I can provide any oral medications during their stay. Any special food requests for kongs, treats, lick mats. I use all natural ingredients for my pup (pumpkin, sweet potatoes, carrots, etc) but would be happy to use alternatives.

A typical day

I like to ensure dogs release energy through physical and mental stimulation. Every morning we go for a walk. Throughout the day I provide kongs, lick mats, brain games, and snuffle mats for the pups. Late afternoon we go in the yard to play with a ball, tug, etc. Before settling in for the night we go on another walk and work on sharpening training skills for 15-20 min.

Jessica did an amazing job! Drake and Goose enjoyed her presence. If I needed a sitter again, she would be my first pick to watch the boys. She was very helpful and was available while I was away overseas.

Jessica was great! It seems like she got along well with the cats. She was very communicative and was flexible when we had a change of plans on our end. Thank you so much!
