J. Tails Pet Concierge: Making Pet Care Simple

Just about everywhere you look in St. Pete, you will see happy dogs strolling about town with their adoring families. For some folks, the pet-friendly atmosphere might just be one of the biggest perks of living in the Sunshine City. This is exactly what attracted the delightful and enthusiastic Jessica Montero to make the move here six years ago. Jessica is a former veterinary technician turned entrepreneur and pet mom to rescue pup, Harley.

As things go, even while living in such a pet-friendly city as St. Pete, Jessica realized that we just can’t bring our pups with us everywhere. Who can you count on to take your best friend on a much-needed walk while you are working long hours? Or to care for them while you are out of town? Who can you trust?

Pet Care for the Digital Age

Already working in the pet industry, Jessica pondered these questions, leading her to create J. Tails Pet Concierge four years ago. Her goal was to provide modern pet care, and she wanted it to be simple.

Simple you say? You got that right! Prepare to be dazzled. Scheduling a service with J. Tails is as easy as one-two-three, and can be done right from your smartphone. Not only that, you can actively chat with your personal dog walker, see pictures, and monitor walks via GPS from the downloadable app that they use. You will also receive notifications on your pet’s visit from beginning to end.

(Now, don’t worry if you’re not the techy type, they can walk you step-by-step through the entire process of downloading and using the app during your first meet-and-greet visit. It’s simple, I promise!)

“Oh, but my schedule is so crazy,” some might say. “It’s never the same.” Don’t fret! From Gulfport to Gandy, J.Tails has your tails covered, with no extra charge for same-day bookings and cancellations. There are no contracts, no minimums, no extra charges for multiple pets in the household, weekends, holidays or special needs pets. You can even schedule a last-minute walk if your day happens to go unexpectedly awry.

Each of Jessica’s employees, Koren, Sydney and (another) Jessica, have vet tech experience, background checks and, most importantly, they will love your pets like their own. They bring with them the knowledge and skills to care for even the most finicky of pets, or pets with behavioral challenges.

More than Just Dog Walking

J. Tails doesn’t stop at just walking your dog, they offer a variety of pet-care services. You can schedule baths, nail care, ear care and overnight pet sitting in your home. If you have one of those dogs with tons of energy, you can even schedule 15-minute or 30-minute runs to help tire them out.

Imagine coming home from a long, hard day to find your pets have been bathed, walked and fed! Sounds like a dream come true for you and your pets. As for me and my little four-legged sidekick, Alice, gone are the stressful days of rushing home and hoping her bladder was able to hang on through rush-hour traffic. We couldn’t be happier! Now when I get home it’s all about extra jumps for joy and cuddle sessions.

Modern Pet Care Made Simple

Does all of this sound “woof-worthy” to you? Visit http://www.jtailssp.com/ for more information. J. Tails uses the HANDLR app to schedule services, so you will want to download that for free from the App Store (iPhone) or from Google Play (Android). You can also call or text 727-379-2275 to schedule your initial meet-and-greet session, and they can help you get started with the app at that time.
