I have experience with reactive and fearful dogs. I work full time, but I can walk dogs on my lunch break or after work. I use force free training and positive reinforcement with my dog. I use force free training with my dog, so I’m not comfortable with choke/prong/shock collars. I use positive reinforcement to get the desired behavior.

About: I am just starting this journey as a dog walker, sitter. Now that I am a retired teacher I can give my time to helping care for other’s pets. I grew up with my one and only Keeshound Pepper. After she passed I never got another dog; however, I love my friend’s and family’s dogs. I also have a beautiful grand dog named Harper. When we had our kids we were never home because all three of them played several travel sports. I never thought it was fair to have a dog. Now that my kids are grown, I feel like I can enjoy helping take care of other people’s pets. Starting mid June I will be down the shore for most of the summer. I would be available most weekdays and some weekends. I also would like to do this to motivate me to get out and exercise more while enjoying time with your pets. I just retired from being a special education teacher after 28 years. I am a very responsible, trustworthy person and I would care for your pets like they are my own.

About: Hi, my name is Jess! I am a huge animal lover— I have 4 dogs (2 golden retrievers, a german shepherd, and a bernese mountain dog). I grew up going between OC and EHT, so I’m a lifelong local resident. I’m available most days of the week & weekends up until September. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my experience/skills/schedule. I look forward to helping you care for your furry babies!! I am available most of the day, everyday at the moment! I will sadly be moving out of state in September, so I have a lot of free time in the in-between! My pups are used to a fenced-in yard or free-range play on the beach & farm. Most of them are very good on the leash, but the younger two are a little bit more energetic, so if your dog(s) aren’t perfect angels, don’t worry. I will be just fine! 😂
About: Something that sets me apart is that I have had dogs my whole life. Growing up my family always had dogs, I took care of them and trained them. Back at home in NJ I have two dogs we got as puppies. I take care of them when I am home (Summer, breaks, etc). I have always had pets (bunny, hamsters, even a parakeet!) I love animals and love to care for them. I also helped take care of my late dog that passed away of cancer sadly. But when she was sick I had to learn how to make her comfortable, keep her mouth clean, and more. I am truly a dog person at heart!! I am currently a student, I have classes during the week but I have time in the mornings, afternoons and evenings for walks and to play with your pups! My weekends are very flexible and I would love to have your dog stay with me for a night or two. I live in a gated neighborhood, I don’t have a yard but we have walking trails in the development I love to walk along. I have house that is 3 stories and it has a lot of room. Tons of space for crates, play and hanging out.
“Quinn and Haley are great! They met Daisy before our scheduled time. They went above and beyond to walk her, give her meds and take care of her. Thank you so much! I highly recommend and would use them again!”
