I'll Care for Your Pet Like My Own!

Pet care experience

There’s nothing that I enjoy more than getting to take part in a dog’s unconditional love. I just love how loyal, playful, and affectionate they are! Unfortunately, I can’t have a pup of my own at the moment (just a little kitten named Milo!), so I became a sitter to do my part in making every dog’s life better. Milo will have to join me while house sitting because he’s still pretty needy at this time. Once he gets a feel of the dogs he loves them! We all know how stressful it can be being away from your best friend, so I’m here to help provide the love and care that your dog is used to while you’re away. Making sure that both humans and pups feel completely taken care of during a stay is my number one priority. I always provide excellent service and communication to human and canine clients alike. You can look forward to daily updates by way of text and picture messages to let you know just how your pup is getting along and what we’ve done for the day. Likewise, communication is key for making sure the pups are 110% comfortable while I’m sitting them. I want to know all the do’s and don’ts for every canine client, so I can tailor their stay around them and their likes. I’m a great companion for pups that like to stay active. Getting outside is one of my favorite things to do, so every stay will surely include a few good walks to explore the neighborhood. On a nice day, I always like to visit the local dog-friendly cafes around town for a little treat. There are plenty of great parks in my area as well, so we’ll have the opportunity for some off-leash time and a game of fetch to burn some energy off! If your pup is with me for a longer stay, I’d love to hit the trails with them. There’s nothing better than going on a hike with a canine companion!

Jessica is wonderful. My pup, Roxie, can be a bit scared of strangers and finicky when going for walks, but Jessica has taken everything in stride. She's also very communicative...texting pictures and updates, which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend her!

We appreciated Jessica fitting our short-notice request for emergency dog-walking into what I imagine is a busy schedule for her. She was great with our pups Annabel and MacGregor. And would definitely call on her again in the future.

Information Jessica W. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup? Is your dog aggressive towards other dogs? Does your dog have any special needs or allergies? Are you okay with your dog being with other dogs? Does your dog need a lot of excercise? It is best to tell me any detail about your dog and how you want the ,check in, walk or house sit to go. My job is to keep your dog safe and the best way to ensure everyone has a great time is to get to know your pup as much as I can.

A typical day

I love to stay active, so your pup and I will get plenty of opportunities to get outdoors and meet some new friends. When your dog stays with me, we won’t just stick to a quick walk around the block--each adventure is tailored to your dog’s unique needs. In the beginning of our stay, I’ll let them get comfortable around me and build trust with them. Then, shortly thereafter we’ll go on our first walk together, or head straight to the dog park for some socializing time. We’ll spend time together just like they were my own pup! We can spend as much time outdoors playing and having fun. I’ll leave at night and be back around 9am after I take my sibling to school for the morning, then we’ll have the whole day to spend together.
