“We loved her! She took such great care of Paco and made us feel completely at ease. She gave us many updates and answered very quick. She was very kind, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. We’re so grateful and will definitely book with her again 🤍”

“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!”

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.

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
