Dog Trainer and Animal Lover

Hello, My name is Jessie! I am a professional dog trainer and animal lover. My affinity towards animals began in my childhood, where I grew up in the countryside and often brought home stray or abandoned dogs and cats. I was lucky to have a mother who supported me and my mission to care for the animals I would find even though she was a single mom taking care of 3 kids. Currently, I have two dogs and a cat. One of our favorite activities is embarking on adventures together, such as engaging in hikes and exploring new places. My two dogs are Yoshi, a 7 yr old jack russell mix, and Kamaji a 3 year golden retriever. Yoshi is dog selective and prefers dogs that respect his space. It may take him a bit of time to become comfortable around other dogs, which is where my golden boy, Kamaji, happily steps in. Kamaji is quite affectionate and would be delighted to form friendships with other dogs, only if they desire it. Ensuring everyone in my care is safe and comfortable is my top priority. In addition to our shared activities, we actively participate in various dog sports, including Barn Hunt, Dock Diving, Rally and Nosework. I have 12 years of experience in the pet care industry, including 5 years as a professional dog trainer. I am an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and Trick Dog Evaluator. As a trainer, I assist owners in improving their relationship with their dog(s) by making training fun for everyone involved. I provide educational guidance on canine learning and behavior, enabling my clients to develop a sense of assurance and preparedness for any challenges they may encounter. You deserve to enjoy your dog. My objective is to offer top-quality care for your beloved pets. The prices mentioned above serve as a starting point and may be subject to adjustment based on your specific requirements. For instance, if your dog is highly energetic and requires ample exercise, the price will be modified accordingly in order to cater to those needs. *please note that my prices include fee to utilize rover*

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize the safety, trust, and well-being of your pets in every aspect of my pet care services. Whether it's in my house, your home or during walks, I take meticulous steps to ensure a secure and positive environment for your furry companions. During your pet's stay in my home, I prioritize safety by implementing various safety measures both inside and outside of my home. I have installed baby gates to prevent access to areas where they may pose a danger to themselves, and I have a fenced yard to ensure they are securely contained. Additionally, I always provide constant supervision when they are not in their crate or playpen. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine, so I make an effort to replicate it as closely as possible in order to ensure a smooth transition. Each dog is unique, and I tailor my boarding services to meet their individual needs. Whether they enjoy daily walks, playtime, or simply lounging around, I provide personalized care that caters to their specific requirements. This personalized approach helps create a positive and stress-free environment, making it feel like their home away from home. I recognize that leaving your beloved dog in someone else's care can be anxiety-inducing. Therefore, throughout their boarding stay, walks, or house sitting, I aim to provide you with regular updates. These updates include photos and messages, allowing you to have peace of mind knowing that your pet is well-cared for and content. If you are interested in my house sitting services, please be aware that I have a policy of bringing my dogs with me. Given my background as a professional dog trainer, it is important for me to prioritize the well-being of my pets, as well as the safety of your pets and your home. Rest assured that my dogs have had experience staying in various homes and have adapted well to different environments.

Our dogs came home very tired last night, seems like they had a great time and we’re well cared for. Jessie was great about communicating and sending us updates during their stay.

Jessie was super amazing with Cosmo and he loved every minute of it. She took Cosmo in very last minute and having met him and me for the first time, which I was very grateful for. I received numerous photos over the two days he did day care with her; Cosmo always happy and in good hands. I couldn't recommend her more!

Schedule

I am a professional trainer and the owner of my own business, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule. My schedule revolves around the well-being and care of animals. While your dogs are in my care, I will treat them with the utmost care and consideration, as if they were my own. In the mornings, I prioritize providing breakfast, exercise, and affection for the dogs. The specifics of my work schedule vary depending on my number of clients for the day. Typically, I am away for a maximum of 2-4 hours at a time, ensuring that the dogs in my care have sufficient time between potty breaks. To ensure the safety of all dogs under my responsibility, they are either crated or placed in a playpen when I am away. If your dog enjoys car rides, they may accompany me during my visits to other clients or if I were to engage in hiking activities. Many of my clients have spacious land or large backyards, which I am able to utilize for the benefit of my own dogs and the dogs in my care. However, it is important to note that for safety reasons, I do not permit client dogs to be off-leash in unfenced areas.

I would like to ensure the safety, well-being, and health of your dog. In order to accomplish this, there are a few essential details that I need to be aware of: - Any known allergies your dog may have - Whether your dog exhibits any resource guarding behaviors - If your dog displays aggression towards other dogs or humans - Whether your dog harbors any aggression towards cats or small animals. I do have a cat in my home, so this piece of information is particularly important if you are considering utilizing my services.
