About Jessica

About me: I'm a 29-year-old Canadian who came to NZ to complete a Ph.D. at Otago. I moved here approximately 5years ago, and now that I'm no longer tied to Dunedin, I'm living in Wanaka and hoping to enjoy the landscape.

Growing up, there were always animals around. My family was avidly into horses, dogs, cats, and were even forced to love the rabbit I brought home from university.

I love animals and would love to dedicate time to taking care of yours! I'm active and love to go for long walks, but miss a companion to go with. It would be a pleasure to take your dog out for a walk if you're pressed for time.

Services:

Happy to arrange for a midday dog walk your furry friend stuck at home during the week (45-60 minutes, depending on what your pet is up for), stop in for a short visit to give you peace of mind that they're alright, or house/pet sit if you're heading away for a while. If pet sitting, I love going for daily walks, and if your furball is up to the task, I'll happily take them along; walks for 30 minutes or more. I have a vehicle, so happy to arrange at-home pick-up and drop-offs, and take dogs out for a wee outing like walks by the lake or on a trail! If you're looking for someone to care for larger animals, I've experience caring for horses and donkeys. I love all creatures and would love to look after yours!

Get in touch, and I'm happy to provide tailored care for you and your pet's needs!

Before my time here in NZ, I worked years in the Canadian Coast Guard; I'm trustworthy, dependable, and punctual! I'm happy to work around your schedule. I look forward to hearing from you and arranging pet care that suits you best!

Would absolutely recommended Jess. She clearly loves dogs and Frankie (pup) thinks she’s great! Very reliable and easy to communicate with, we’ll be asking her house sit and dog walk again 😊

Jess looked after our fur-child for an evening when we were holidaying in Wanaka and we can’t recommend her enough. She was great with communication through out the whole process and our dog loved her. We would definitely use Jess again. Thanks very much Jess! :)
