About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years through fostering, pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering with animal shelters. I’ve spent more than 10 years volunteering with shelters and also have experience helping train service animals, which has taught me so much about patience, consistency, animal behavior, and adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention, exercise, and structure to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and a little extra patience and TLC. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship while they’re with me. And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, you can expect plenty of photo updates so you can see what your best friend is up to! ❤️ I have a full-time job with flexible hours, which allows me to fit pet care into my schedule consistently. I’m most available on evenings and weekends, and I always make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. I live in a house with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and settle in. I’m very mindful about safety, routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s individual needs. I also have a friendly 6-year-old cat who is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to use a crate if that is part of your dog’s normal routine, and I always do my best to keep pets feeling safe, relaxed, and at home.

About: I have experience with both younger dogs and elderly dogs. I have specifically worked with senior dogs, who required special care getting around, keeping track of their medication schedule, and their diets. I'm currently working part time and remotely, so I'll have a lot of time to spend with your dogs. I also enjoy taking walks, so I'll make sure your dogs are getting the outside time they need! I have a large fenced in yard at my home, along with plenty of dog toys. I can also crate your dog if needed. There are also a few trails nearby which are easy and engaging for dogs to walk through.

“Jessi was great with my late booking. I shared a little bit about my dogs’ quirks and she reassured me about her experience. We weren’t able to meet ahead of time but she asked good questions that made me feel confident that she would take good care of my babies. We were in the middle of a heat wave and she did so well accommodating them. Great pics of my smiling cuties even though Jessi was essentially a stranger to them.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I grew up with all kinds of animals in my homes and have had additional experience with birds, fish, chickens, hamsters, mice, snakes, geckos, bunnies, and others over my last 30 years. Though it hasn’t been my full time profession in years, I spent many years managing a boarding facility alongside an animal hospital, which remains to this day my absolute favorite job. I find no greater joy than helping ease the anxiety that the animal babies feel when they are away from the comfort of their own homes. I have successfully trained a number of puppies including large “bully breeds” and I especially enjoy helping rescues find comfort in new homes after questionable upbringings. Above all, my heart pours love and gratitude into animal babies because I believe they deserve the same unconditional love that they give to us humans. I work part time and make my own schedule. I am incredibly flexible and am used to a swing schedule where I can get up early or stay up late in order to accommodate the needs of my clients. I have a multiple acre wooded property. Though it is not entirely fenced in I am skilled at leash walking/training and my property backs up to miles of trails that are part of a wildlife refuge. I currently have a one year old female Beagle/Belgian Malinois mix who is crate trained but also does stay at home alone freely at this age with no incidents. She is incredible with other dogs and people, overall very sweet and friendly. I am willing to crate your pup if that is what you prefer, but am also ok with a free roaming pup. I work only on a free-lance basis and do all of my work based around my pet sitting, drop in, and walking schedule. So your animals are my number one priority! I have added a fence on my wooded property to accommodate pups that need some freedom from a leash to do their ‘business’ 😆 and of course my sweet, friendly, playful pup Rainy is always ready to wrestle, chase, or cuddle her new friends!

Jaylene is an amazing dog walker! She’s incredibly communicative and always sends photos after each visit, which gives me so much peace of mind. She truly goes above and beyond - even bringing my Amazon package inside without me asking! She’s caring, easy to work with, and clearly loves what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
