Pet care experience

Loving care for your pet

Once I was old enough, I started off taking care of my neighbors dogs when they were gone. I have had 5 dogs of my own. 4 have passed on due to age, so I have experience caring for older dogs. Not all pet sitters have love and patience this requires, or even an understanding of what an older dog might need. One of my dogs and I were a therapy dog team working with children and the elderly. Another one of my dogs was an agility dog and we did many agility shows around the area, so I do have some experience with basic training. I am active so am strong enough to handle any rambunctious larger dogs as well :) I have fostered rescue dogs, and have owned small birds. I am open to caring for other animals, not just dogs/cats.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have animals, so I know how important it is to trust someone to care for your pets. I am active and am willing to bike ride, jog, or take your dog for a long walk if needed. I have a golden retriever so am happy to even walk them together if you think your dog would enjoy another dog's company. Or, if you would like I am available to just hang out and spend some time with them so they aren't lonely if they prefer to stay around your house or are older and can't walk so much. We live in a beautiful area and I would love to help out a neighbor who needs someone they can trust with their pet.

She goes above and beyond! My dog was throwing up last week and she was so great and cleaned it up. She took care of her when she needed medicine, too. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love Jessica! I highly recommend to anyone in the Fort Lauderdale area looking for a loving family to care for their pets. Her and her daughter are fantastic with animals, and were gentle and kind towards my Macimus. I will definitely be using her again and recommend to everyone!

Jessica was flexible and responsive. I had a short notice request and she was able to accommodate. Jessica was also able to establish an immediate connection with my dog, they had never met. Thank you Jess!

Jessica can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your dog can be reactive towards other dogs or people. I am fine with coming for a visit and taking them out but just need to know so I can avoid other animals/people on the walk.
