Safety, trust & environment

My daily routine involves making sure pets have proper access to food, water, and bedding, while also keeping a close eye on their health. I take pride in providing the same level of attentive care to pets outside the kennel environment, ensuring their safety and comfort in familiar surroundings. I’m skilled at identifying any potential issues and communicating with pet owners to keep them informed and confident in their pets’ wellbeing. Whether it’s giving medication, providing grooming, or simply giving them some companionship, I’m here to create a loving environment. I’m all about building strong relationships with both pets and their owners.

Information Jessika H. would like to know about your pet

To help care for your pet, I would love to get to know them a bit better! Please share your pet's name and breed, along with their personality—are they friendly, shy, or anything to assist in meeting? If they have any health concerns, like allergies or medications, just let me know. Any potty habits, including when and where they usually go, will help keep things on track. If your pet is walked on a leash, how do they behave? Do they pull, get excited around other animals, or any reactive behavior? It’s also helpful to know how they interact with other dogs and people. What are their favorite activities or toys? And if there are any house rules I should follow or emergency contacts, like your vet’s info, please share after booking as well! Lastly, if your pet responds to specific commands, I'd love to know! Thanks for providing this information—it will help me ensure a smooth and fun experience overall!

A typical day

A typical dog walking or drop-in visit starts with a warm greeting for your pet! After we settle in, I’ll check their food and water to make sure everything is fresh. We’ll stick to their routine, and if it’s time for a walk, we’ll head outside for some fresh air and exercise, enjoying some playtime along the way. I’ll keep an eye on their leash behavior, letting them explore safely. After our walk, we’ll have some downtime filled with cuddles or a tasty treat, and I’ll take care of any special instructions, like giving medication or grooming. If it’s a longer visit, I’ll engage them with fun activities to keep their spirits high. Before I leave, I’ll tidy up and send you a quick update on how your pup did and any fun moments we shared. It’s all about making sure your pet is happy and comfortable until you return!

Dedicated and Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

My experience as a Shift Lead in a veterinary hospital kennel is at the heart of my passion for animal care. This role allows me to prioritize the wellbeing of pets while providing their owners with peace of mind. I take pride in understanding each animal's unique needs and delivering compassionate, personalized care. Alongside my professional experience, I enjoy housesitting and taking daily dog walks, which are some of the highlights of my day. My commitment to pet care extends beyond my shifts; I ensure that every animal receives the love and attention they deserve, whether it’s a late night feeding or an early morning walk. For me, it’s more than just a job ~ it’s a true passion! I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable in my care.

Jessika is so great with Beau! He's always entertained, loved and spoiled with her. She gives him little massages which puts him right to sleep! Definitely would recommend her for your pet needs.
