I cannot say enough great things about Ms. Jessamy! She was pleasant, professional, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. My dog clearly had an amazing time. I received plenty of photos and videos throughout his stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. I also received daily summaries and that truly set her apart. Her communication, care, and attention to detail were exceptional. I felt confident the entire time that my dog was in great hands. I will absolutely be rebooking with her and only her! I highly recommend Ms. Jessamy to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality care. Thank you again!

About: I have plenty of experience with puppies still in training, crate trained, non trained, energetic I can definitely handle ! I’m also good with elderly or dogs pregnancies. I am able to provide pee breaks as often as needed, attention at all times, love and support. I wash each pets bowl after use, ensure they are supported the entire process. I can offer full time watching in my home, wooden floors so accidents are okay ! I only clean with pet safe products. I play with them to get their attention in and take them on walks at least once a day !im the only person in house and a fully fenced back yard. Plenty of space to run outside when needed but they will be inside if not playing or using bathroom breaks

About: I can only board dogs who are friendly with other dogs as I have repeat weekly bookings. I am happy to have your pup meet them to ensure a safe and stress free stay! I can do house sitting for unfriendly dogs but it will be drop ins during the day until about 6pm Monday- Thursday. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years! From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and routine. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, administer basic care, and give their pets genuine attention. I’m calm, observant, and treat every dog as an individual with their own needs and personality. No matter if your dog likes long walks, play dates at the park, or a ride around the neighborhood, Im here for it all! Expect lots of pictures and videos of all the fun. Pet care fits easily into my routine, which allows me to be flexible and attentive. I’m available for daytime visits, evening care, and weekends, and I’m reliable with routines like walks, feeding, and check-ins. I plan my time so pets are never rushed and always receive consistent care. I communicate clearly, follow care instructions closely, and focus on consistency and safety. My goal is always to give pets a calm, comfortable experience and owners peace of mind. I prioritize safety, structure, and comfort in all aspects of my life. I LOVE a good routine! I follow care instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets are supervised and secure. I’m attentive to behavior changes, respectful of boundaries, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for in your absence.

Bowie had so much fun! This was my first time being away from him overnight and Daniel was so good at updating me within minutes whenever I asked. Bowie got sent home with gifts and a huge smile. My baby was so happy, I will definitely be using them again :). Plus their pup was the sweetest baby and was so patient with my crazy boy.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets from small dogs to big dogs. My sister works in the vet field and has came home with a million rescue dogs to take care. I learned how each dog/ breed is unique and that each provides different care which is important. I’m currently a SAHM! So I give pets a lot of playtime. Try to take them on daily walks around 6 with the family :) I have a fenced backyard so dogs can go out and enjoy themselves. Since I have a kid, everything in my home is child proof, so they will both be safe from getting hurt
