Your Fur Baby is my Fur Baby!
Pet care experience
I have been walking dogs and pet sitting professionally for 12 + years. I started taking care of pets in California (9 years) but moved back to Missouri in 2020. I grew up in the country and we took in many strays. I have plenty of experience watching puppies/kittens (a few days old) thru to senior dogs/cats (18.5 years). I find it fascinating and have learned (and researched) so much about dogs, how they change over their life, their personalities, allergies, and illnesses. I can give medicine (an inhaler, too) when needed. I know basic commands and can help with training. I always listen to the owner and give advance when asked. I have experience with rabbits but very limited. I have a ton of references. I would be happy to share them. "Your fur baby is my fur baby." Plus a tired dog is a happy dog!? Let Talk!
Reviews
Jodi was so great with both our older large dogs. She sent Morning updates every morning. She very respectful of our home. Very detailed oriented on where and when the dogs need to eat. She was very aware of dogs needs that we didn't think of like bedtimes. I highly recommend using her and will book her again.
We were very happy with the care our fur babies… We stayed in constant communication and received photos and updates. Would recommend!
Jodi was awesome with my furbabies. My old dog required a lot of patience getting her meds down her and Jodi accomplished this every day. I think Carl the Manx Cat developed a huge kitty crush on her. He threw his kibble at me when I got home asking where his Jodi was 😂. I highly recommend using Jodi to care for your furbabies. My dog getting to remain at home with loving care was like an early Christmas gift.
Jodi was so aware and considerate of Atlas’s special needs. We will absolutely be booking again!

Safety, trust & environment
I don't watch dogs at my home. I prefer to keep the pets in their own home because they are less stressed. I will always ask the owner for any routines the animal has and stick to them. While I am watching the pets, I will text the owner with updates and pictures.
Information Jodi T. would like to know about your pet
Allergies? Medication? Illnesses to watch for? Past Illnesses? Is the dog friendly to other dogs? Leash aggression? Food aggression? Anything in the neighborhood I should know about or avoid? Stress habits? (like chewing, licking, etc.)
A typical day
I am not big on taking dogs out in the car unless the dog is extremely comfortable with me. I prefer to stay in the neighborhood. I try to get in 3 walks a day (with various bathroom breaks) based on the owner's advice. The length is based on the dog's health. If the dog is healthy, I like to wander the area. Keeping the dogs' energy in check helps the dog stress less about their owner.

Availability
I am currently taking online classes. I do have to work on my homework, but only after your animal is taken care of and settled. I have plenty of time to hang out and play with your dog.
