My son is starting school and this seems like the perfect opportunity to continue nurturing, but allow myself flexibility in the hours between drop off and pick up!

Safety, trust & environment

I have taken many courses that use clicker training and positive reinforcement. I believe in a dog being able to explore and exercise until they feel ready to rest and snuggle. We have a fenced in backyard and a lovely walkable neighborhood that we certainly take advantage of.

Information Jessica W. would like to know about your pet

Temperament, any fears or quirks, favorite treats and what recalls they respond best too. If any food or treats are off limits due to allergy or other.

A typical day

Walks that are all about the dog’s interest! Follow that smell! I also love to provide enrichment puzzles and games like treats hidden in boxes, ice treats, and hunting for kibble and treats dispersed in the grass, and chasing bubbles. If a dog is older or more chill, a walk for exercise and potty & then some snuggle time!

“Can I pet your dog?!” 🐾❤️

Pet care experience

I am animal lover with decades of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have loved, cared for, and trained puppies, mid-aged rescues, and supported a number of health issues, and eventually helped pets transition. I have known so many animals with so many quirks and personality nuances, I am not discriminatory toward any behavior issues or unique preferences. I can see your pet is special and would be honored to care for them when you can’t.

Jessica has been so helpful! She is extremely dependable and takes great care of my dog Daisy! It’s nice to know that Daisy is in good hands and happy while I’m at work. Jessica always leaves detailed updates on Daisy and photos of their walks. Thank you, Jessica!

Jessica is a great sitter! She always sends cute photos of my cats and writes a message about her visit. She did a great job taking care of my older cat who requires oral medication at specific times.

Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!
