I have been raised around dogs my whole life and have years of professional experience at a grooming salon and doggie daycare. Dogs are truly my passion- they make me happy no matter what kind of day I could be having. It is such a rewarding feeling when I walk in the door and the dogs get super excited to see me!
Hello, I'm Jessica. I've been a dog lover since I was a child, I would always say hello to all the dogs walking in the neighborhood and I've been a dog owner since 1997. I've owned and sat for dogs since I was a teenager and. I absolutely love getting to know dogs, and walking them. I can't wait to get to know your companion and I hope to make a new dog friend.
