Former vet tech w/ friendly pup!
Pet care experience
As a lifelong animal lover, I've worked in a vet clinic, at a zoo, and as an avian ecologist. I own a home in central Fort Collins with a large fenced yard, just a block from the Spring Creek Trail, and often work from home. My friendly, snuggly lab mix Faye loves to play and romp with visiting dogs, and we often hike at natural areas in town. During my time as a vet tech, I worked with dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I'm experienced with using positive reinforcement to help promote good behavior. I love being active outdoors and am excited to take your dogs for long walks and to give them lots of love and belly rubs! Looking forward to meeting your and your pup!
Reviews

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room to romp, sniff, and play. I love to take photos of cute pups so I can provide pet parents with frequent updates on how your dog is doing.
Home
Information Jessie R. would like to know about your pet
Doing a meet and greet with my dog and yours gives me the best info to determine if having your dog stay with me will be a good fit. Faye does best with dogs who are either eager to play, or who ignore her invitations to play (she will quickly learn that dogs who ignore her aren’t interested, and will happily leave these dogs alone). Dogs who respond to play initiation by barking to let her know they don’t want to play usually aren’t a great fit - she interprets the barking as a sign to continue trying to play.
A typical day
With a fenced in yard, there's plenty to sniff and explore right here at home. For longer walks, we like to hit the Spring Creek Trail which is just a few blocks away, or visit one of the natural areas in town.

Availability
I work a hybrid, flexible 9-5, and I usually plan to work from home when I’m dog sitting, so your pup will receive plenty of attention and access to my fenced yard.
