About Jess

Hello! I am currently studying a degree in natural medicine and have been pet sitting/ dog walking for 2 years now. I was lucky enough to grow up with a variety of different animals such as dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rats. Having previously worked in a pet store for two years and working with farm animals for about three, I have a wide variety of knowledge and experience with animals of all sizes.

I have a passion for the outdoors and have many hobbies such as hiking, surfing and snowboarding. I absolutely love to go for dog walks and very much enjoy spending my spare time amongst nature and connecting with animals. My current schedule is revolved around university lectures which is from 9am-2pm Tuesday-Friday, which means I can take your dog for morning walks and afternoon/evening outings. I am off from Saturdays-Mondays.

I have had a wide variety of pet sitting experience including puppies from 5 months old, dogs with anxiety e.g separation anxiety/ fear around other dogs and elderly dogs requiring frequent monitoring and administration of medication. I am also very comfortable around cats, small animals and larger farm animals.

My main goal is to ensure your pet/s have a pleasant and enjoyable experience where they feel safe and loved amongst the comfort of their own home. Excellent references available.

Jess had great communication right from first contact and arranged a time to come and meet us and our dogs before we were due to go away.

Jess left us feeling confident that our dogs would be safe and well looked after.

During walks she updated us with photos of 2 very happy dogs.

Thank you Jess, we have no problem recommending you to others.

Shelley and Matt.

Skills

Specific Skills

I speak English
+10 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
My experience includes working with a wide variety of animals from small pets such as rats/birds/rabbits to larger pets including dogs and various farm animals. I am comfortable around all animals and love learning new things about them. My experience with dogs involves work with puppies, working breeds, dogs with behavioural issues such as fear and anxiety issues. This is something I take pride in as I have grown up and worked with many rescue dogs which requires an understanding of certain triggers and situations that require caution. I am comfortable caring for elderly dogs also and am happy to administer oral medication they require which we can discuss prior to the arrangement ☺️
