Dogs come first!

Pet care experience

I realized that dogs come first in my life when a small dog that I was taking care of was curled up on my lap, which prevented me from pulling out the computer keyboard tray so I could work. Faced with the choice of continuing to work or keeping the dog on my lap, I chose the dog. I do my best to tune in to each dog's personality and needs and provide them with care and affection while making them feel secure in a new environment. My own dog, Julian, is very calm and gets along with almost all dogs. Unfortunately, I am not equipped to take care of large (over 30 pounds) or highly active dogs.

Jessica was the best! She sent updates and pics. She was also thorough and asked what was normal or what was not for Sasha’s first time over. Which was much appreciated!

Information Jessica W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavior issues. Also let me know if he/she enjoys riding in the car. Thanks!

A typical day

I normally take my dog and dog guests on one long-ish walk in the morning, a shorter walk in the late afternoon and a very brief walk in the evening before we go to bed. In addition, I leave the back door open so they can go outside on the deck whenever they want.
