Hello, my name is Jessica. I am an educator and a mother of three. I am home all summer and during the school year I come home on my breaks. I am home relatively early. I have a clean home and a good size backyard. At this time it is not fenced in so I would have to use a run. Our family is considering buying/adopting a dog in the future and this is a great way to introduce my children to the responsibilities involved in such a commitment. I have three children ages 4-8. They are very loving, gentle and kind. However, they will be monitored at all times with your pet for everyone's peace of mind. I currently own two cats but have had experience with dogs in the past. I had two dogs growing up and have cared for many friends and relatives pets. Please contact me and let's chat about your and your pets needs!
