Flexible Schedule - BS in Animal Sc

ISU graduate with a BS in Animal Science and an MBA who's had a dog for 15 years. Able to care for dogs of all ages and abilities and available most of the time. I'm very capable when it comes to caring for animals! My house isn't fenced in, but I do have access to a lot of trails if given a leash. I'm comfortable taking care of 3-4 dogs at a time and am able to give potty breaks when needed. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to rescheduling and I am comfortable with dog sitting in a different house. I always have my cell phone on me so you can expect me to give updates on your dog. Please feel free to ask any needed questions about my experience with dogs!

Jessie did a WONDERFUL job taking care of our pets and home. She was so thoughtful and calm which was important for one of our dogs who is a super nervous pup. Jessie was compassionate and patient with our dogs and we are grateful she was able to house/pet sit. We highly recommend Jessie for your pet/house sitting needs

Jessie was awesome with our dogs! We’d book with her again in a heartbeat. We even got a bad storm while we were gone and she went above and beyond and took care of a mess outside that she didn’t need to. We really appreciated all of her help!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I generally work from 7:00-3:00 PM on weekdays and I'm flexible during the weekends! In the past, I've taken dogs out in the morning and right after I get back from work and I've found it works really well.

Safety, trust & environment

My top priorities are your pet's safety and comfort level so I make sure that they're comfortable around me however I can. If I see any changes in their normal behavior I make sure to notify the owners as soon as possible. It's important to me that your pet is happy and healthy while in my care!

A typical day

I usually ask the owner what their pet likes to do for fun and go from there. I've had dogs that like walks around the lake and some like to play frisbee in their backyard. It's all up to the owner's discretion.

Please let me know of any special needs your pet may have, whether it be medication, dietary needs, or anything related. I'd also like to know what a dog's behavior is like so I know how to approach them. Any little bit of information helps me form an idea of what the dog is like.
