“Jessica looked in on my dog Mona and walked her a few times a day while I was gone for a few days. Everything from the initial meeting, to taking care of my dog and sending updates and pictures, was handled easily and professionally. I would highly recommend Jessica, and would hire her again the next time Mona needs care!”

About: Hi there! I’m a passionate pet lover and proud dog parent to an energetic and loving husky who has been keeping me on my toes for the past two years. Through daily adventures and lots of hands-on experience, I’ve become well-versed in basic command training, leash etiquette, and, of course, the less glamorous but essential task of cleaning up after pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to providing the same level of care, attention, and love to your furry family member as I do for my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet is in good hands with me! I recently graduated PA school and I am free for the majority of the summer and most days of the week before I begin my job as a medical provider. I can easily drive to your home to walk your pet or drop by for visits to make sure they’re safe and taken care of while you’re gone! I also live in an apartment complex with a dog park.

About: I’ve been helping take care of my two dogs for the for the past 6 years now. I have also, this past year, been helping friends and family take care of their dogs when they are not around by feeding, walking, and showing lots of love to them! I am currently working a part-time job so I have some extra time on my hands that I would love to spend helping out with some dogs! I have 2 dogs at home that are a handful so I unfortunately cannot care for dogs in my home but in my clients home I do as told and respect their home and clean up after any messes made while I am helping out.
