Who We Are
Real care from people your dog can actually get to know.
Meet Jess
Animals have always been near and dear to my heart. From a young age, I watched my Grampy care for animals with patience, love, and respect — even helping injured wildlife when they needed it most. He was my biggest role model and a big part of why animal care has always meant so much to me.
I started Dog Gon’ Good Time of Saugus with my sister and helped run a reputable pet care service for just under a decade, alongside a small team of 4–6 caregivers.
After that, I managed a New Hampshire-based pet care service remotely and also supported a boarding, training, and daycare business in Southern Maine.
My background includes hands-on pet care, rescue and shelter volunteering, scheduling, client communication, and the behind-the-scenes structure that keeps care running smoothly. I’ve volunteered with Salem Animal Shelter and Service Dog Project, apprenticed under a certified dog behaviorist, completed positive reinforcement obedience training, and am Fear Free Certified.
Today, I also support other pet care businesses remotely with their systems and processes, which is a big part of how Stratham Strolls is built: thoughtful care, clear communication, and genuine respect for every dog we care for.
