About My Business

Hi! I'm Jess, an experienced pet sitter and passionate dog walker with over 20 years of experience working with animals. My love for animals has spanned my entire life, and I've always been fascinated by the way they think, communicate, and interact with each other and with humans. Over the years, I've gained a wealth of experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, and horses. at a young age, I had the opportunity to rescue animals alongside my aunt Patrice. This experience exposed me to different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and instilled in me a deep appreciation for their well-being. During the summers, I worked on my aunt's dairy farm, further expanding my understanding of livestock animal care.In high school, I had the privilege of working at an animal boarding facility where I had the opportunity to learn from an experienced animal behaviorist. This invaluable experience allowed me to enhance my knowledge of animal behavior and apply it to my work as a pet sitter and dog walker. I also gained hands-on experience training both dogs and horses, further honing my skills in understanding their unique needs and behaviors.For the past 11 years, I have been dedicated to working for a 501(c)(3) non-profit horse and dog rescue organization. In this role, I have been involved in a wide range of responsibilities, including rehabilitating and training animals, caring for wounds and extensive medical issues, along with administering medications. I’ve had the privilege of working closely with some Amazing veterinarians and I’ve developed a strong rapport with them.This invaluable experience has provided me with a wealth of knowledge and a tremendous amount of hands-on experience in dealing with a wide range of medical procedures. Assisting with these procedures and treatments has allowed me to gain extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in providing comprehensive care.

I have a vast knowledge of different species and their unique needs and behaviors, making me comfortable with pets of all breeds and sizes.

As a pet sitter, my goal is to provide the highest level of care and attention to each and every animal in my care. Whether I'm stopping by to feed and play with a cat or spending several days or weeks with a dog while their owners are away, I always prioritize the animal's needs. I go above and beyond to ensure that each pet receives specialized care tailored to their unique personality and requirements. This includes administering medications and providing specialized care for pets with special needs or health conditions. I believe that every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know them personally.

Throughout my years as a pet sitter, I've built strong relationships with both my clients and their furry friends. I pride myself on providing the highest level of service and care, and I always keep communication open with regular updates and photos, so you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands. I am a responsible and trustworthy pet sitter, fully insured and bonded, and I always treat your home and pets with respect and care.

In addition to my pet sitting services, I also offer dog walking services. As a passionate and dedicated dog walker, I've been working with dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 20 years. My natural ability to connect with dogs and my love for them has made this profession a perfect fit. I started offering dog walking services to help busy pet owners who were unable to take their dogs out for regular walks. My focus is on providing quality care and attention to each dog I walk, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times.

Clients appreciate my reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to understand each dog's personality and tailor my approach to their specific needs. Whether it's a high-energy pup that needs a long walk, a timid dog that requires patience and a gentle hand, or a senior dog that requires a slower pace and extra care, I ensure that each dog receives the personalized attention they deserve.

When I'm not dedicating my time to caring for my clients animals, I enjoy spending quality moments with my own two rescue dogs, Jack and Aiden, as well as my two horses, Drago and Enzo. They are not just pets but cherished members of my family. With my background in animal rescue and my hands-on experience with medical care, and passion for animals. you can trust that your furry companion will be in capable hands when they are under my care as a pet sitter or dog walker. I am committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to ensure their well-being and happiness.

What my clients say:

"The Huntress and the Hound is just what we were looking for to help with CJ our pup! Jess is extremely qualified, 100% reliable and very easy to communicate with. She sends us pictures of CJ’s adventures every walk. Whether for over nights or walks we feel very confident in her and CJ loves her. Don’t hesitate to utilize her services. "

—Kate Pinkerton

"I’ve never met a person who is more in tune with animals. My finicky standard poodles love her so much, and I’d trust my animals with her for as long as she will have us."

—Allison Fischer-Olson

"Jess is INCREDIBLE and I refer her to everyone who needs pet care. She was crucial to a huge move my family and I did over the summer. What started as pet care for 3 weeks quickly shifted to helping us move our cat abroad !!! Jess took our kitty, Nutmeg, to the vet for us, took her on walks (our cat is leash-trained haha), and helped us send Nutmeg off with a friend who was flying her to us. That's some serious stuff, so we REALLY trust Jess with our furbabies and she's the best person to take care of yours! That is for sure. Thank you again for everything, Jess!"
