Pet care experience

I have been a Veterinary Assistant for over 17 years. I have always loved animals. My co-workers who also include Veterinarians, who do not want to board their pets often want me to come watch their pets. I work full time but I am available in the evenings/overnights. Depending on your location to my work, I can take take your pet for potty breaks at lunch. With the over 16 years of assisting in the Veterinary field, I am very experienced with assisting the Veterinarian in treating the patient, as well as forming a bond with their owners. I also do well with nervous pets. I get down to their level and take my time with the pet so they feel comfortable. I also like to offer treats(as long as your pet is allowed) to help bond with them. I strive to make a bond with your pet. I typically watch dogs and cats.

Jessica was absolutely fabulous watching our two dogs during a last minute weekend trip we took! She sent us so many pictures of our boys and always made sure they had lots of love. We filled us in every morning on how the night went and was so responsive with any questions we had. We will definitely have her watch our boys again!

Jessica was great with our boy Hokie, an 8.5 year old chow/retriever mix. Hokie was a shelter dog who had been in an abusive household, so he still has some nervous tendencies. Jessica came over and did a meet and greet before our trip, to ensure that her and Hokie were a good fit. We were gone for a week and we received updates and pics of our boy each day. This was great as my wife was having her own anxiety about leaving Hokie with a stranger. We were happily surprised and look forward to having Jessica build her relationship with Hokie in the future!

Amazing experience. My dog got great care and company with updates everyday. Would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to stay at their house for their dog to be comfortable. Quick response time if plans change and flexible. Will be using her again!

Temperament. This wouldn't necessarily cause me to not take the job but it makes me aware and gives me time to prepare special activities, etc depending on the pet.

A typical day

Fetch, lots of snuggling. Hugs and kisses. They deserve to know I care for them. Animals are my life and they are my passion. ❤️
