Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate Animal Lover
As an owner of an anxious but loveable Shiba, I fully recognize every dog has unique needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all temperaments, including doggos who may need a little extra patience and understanding. I always try to adjust my care to suit each dog’s comfort level!
Qualifications

Safety, trust & environment
I always follow the dog’s lead and get to know their personality to the extent possible. I approach any type of pet care with patience and flexibility, knowing not every dog is the same. Whether your pup is anxious and shy or playful and trusting, I want to meet them where they are. I’ll also stick closely to your instructions, be communicative and send lots of photos!
Ratings and reviews
Jodie’s flexibility is unmatched! Recently I had a family situation where I needed to change the schedule last minute and she was so compassionate and accommodating. Having her help during this trying time is such a relief!

Jodie has only been hanging out with Brinkley for a short while but I can already see a difference in him. On the days she comes to visit, he has more energy when I get home at night. I am so thankful Jodie came into our lives!

Jodie has been taking care of my almost 17 year old pup for just a week now and I know he is in the best hands. She has been incredibly communicative with me and is very attentive and kind and caring to Brinkley. Cannot recommend Jodie enough!

Jodie is great!! Took excellent care of branson and was very communicative.

Jodie was accommodating to all our needs and went above and beyond to make sure the experience was good. She showed Adora genuine care and asked all the right questions. She's looking forward to her walk with Jodie next week!
I wholeheartedly recommend Jodie for any dog walk or boarding needs! Jodie has been watching my anxious rescue dog for over two years. She has taken such wonderful care of him and is so understanding and accommodating of his special needs (like his resource guarding and when he pulls really hard outside when he gets scared). He is a rescue from the meat trade in South Korea and has a history of neglect and abuse so he is particularly anxious and nervous with new people and situations. He is easily spooked on walks by loud sounds or sudden changes. Even since the first time Mang Mang stayed with Jodie, he has been comfortable staying with her and readily going on walks with her (even though he was still quite terrified of the outside world at that time!). Jodie has watched him during particularly challenging times (for example, over 4th of July weekend-- which is a huge trigger for his fears), and I am extremely impressed with how well he does! I can clearly tell how much Mang Mang loves to stay with Jodie because he will frequently try to visit her! He often pulls toward her building and will stop outside her door and refuse to leave! Jodie is also the recipient of the most number of kisses Mang Mang has ever given (and he is not a big kisser)! He is so excited when he gets to stay over with her and makes himself right at home. In all the pictures she sends of him, I can tell that he is at ease and relaxed. He doesn't even want to leave when I come to pick him up!! Mang Mang is also best friends with Jodie's dog (who is also so sweet and a great emotional support friend for Mang Mang!). Jodie is also attentive and incredibly responsible. Mang Mang needs to take a daily medication for his anxiety, has some food allergies, and general GI issues, and I have never had any concerns about missed doses or anything like that! I never have any worries when Mang Mang is staying with Jodie because I just know he is having the BEST time and is being incredibly well taken care of. Jodie is also so sweet and responsive, making arranging any doggy care and getting updates so easy! 100/10! Definitely recommend!!

Schedule
Generally, I am available mid morning to late evenings but will try to accommodate based on your needs. I am also often available for last minute bookings, so feel free to check in! I have a flexible work schedule and am home most days of the week, making it easy for me to check in on your dog, go for a walk, or care for your pup while staying with me!
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsJodie can host up to 1 drop-in per day
- Let me know if your dog has any specific triggers, allergies or behaviors I should be aware about. For example, if your dog has a tendency to chase rabbits or rats, I would like to know! It would also be helpful for me to know your dog’s energy levels and any personality traits you feel are important to share.
