FirstBarkI adopted my dog Jillie from Jessica. Very Professional and Responsible Rescue. Jessica is genuine and follows up and follows through with all communications. She’s great with dogs, cats, and other animals. I was very happy with the level of care Jillie was given when at doggie day care and before while fostered. I highly recommend this rescue.

About Big Hair Dog Training Services
Dog training and boarding services. Healthy conditioning for all breeds including dogs with bite histories, dog aggression, leash reactivity and/or stranger danger. Most problematic behaviors stem from fear and being out of practice. This can often lead owners to practice avoidance and unintentionally cater to their dog’s fears and insecurities. Practicing avoidance often makes a dog’s world smaller and subsequently fears even bigger. It’s never too late to address your dog’s training needs! The goal of training is to always build confidence and better prepared you and your dog for real world practice.

Jess is the only person outside of my home that I trust to take care of my Labrador Retriever, Rhea. Rhea is my absolute love and extremely sweet dog that is easily bullied by more rough dogs. Jess does such an amazing job pairing Rhea with dogs and making sure she is comfortable and enjoys her time! Every time I drop her off Rhea bolts straight to Jess and then excitedly goes and plays. She doesn't even care when I leave! Jess makes sure to send photos everyday and goes out of her way to tell me all of the shenanigans Rhea gets herself into. She is by far the best priced and only person I would ever trust to take my dogs or recommend to my clients.

I adopted my beautiful Chihuahua from Jessica and although I have not used her for pet care ( I don’t live close enough to use her unfortunately) my review is based on my other experiences with her . Jessica has been very helpful with any questions I have about training . I consider her to be extremely knowledgeable and is always willing to help and quick to respond! Jessica constantly cares for many dogs at once including her own crew, large dogs , small dogs , cats and more! Jessica takes wonderful care of all of the animals , they all seem to be having such a wonderful time while they are with her !

Big Hair Pet Care has been an absolute godsend for our family. Our 2 dogs love going to daycare and for sleepovers! The moment we tell them they are going to "school" they get so excited and bolt to the car! Not only do they have so much fun playing while they are there, Jess also spends quality time with them and offers them disciple and guidance. Jess communicates with us throughout their stays, and always has great photos of them playing from every visit! Jess is so knowledgeable about dogs, she is always the first person I reach out to with any questions, and I know that she loves our furbabies as much as we do! There is no one I would trust more!
Big Hair Pet care is amazing, we would never bring our dogs anywhere else. Jessica is great at knowing each dogs needs and working with them. They look forward to seeing her and we enjoy not having to worry about them. Can't recommend her enough. She sends picture updates letting us know how they are and adding to our collection, while taking the best care of our babies.
