“Desiree has been the biggest delight to work with. Her communication is impeccable. Any questions I have asked she has responded immediately answering all questions and then some.

About: I have over 18 years of experience house and animal sitting from overnights to up to 6 weeks in duration; caring for not only dogs but also horses (full boarding barn to a couple of pasture horses), cats, fish, rabbits, goats, chickens, etc. I know what it's like to worry about my pets when I'm away, so I strive to give top notch care, follow all instructions, and have fun with your dog! All while keeping you updated with pictures/texts on how they're doing. I am happy to provide most any dog/house sitting arrangement, walking/visit or boarding.

I supervise very closely and am diligent about keeping your dog as safe as possible on leash while still having fun and exercising. I will feed and take dog out following all instructions.

“Jessica stayed at our house and took care of our dog, Destiny, while we were out of town for a week. She went above and beyond in every way possible. It is a leap of faith to trust someone with not only your pet, but also your house, and Jessica did not let us down in the slightest. She kept us updated with pictures and videos and was a great communicator. She left the house incredibly tidy and even stripped the bed and replaced some groceries -truly an incredible person. We could tell Destiny had a great time too! We are so grateful to have found Jessica and will continue to request her as our sitter when we go out of town. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars, truly an exceptional sitter!!”
