About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and reptiles for over ten years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently work a full-time job that has a flexible schedule so that I'm able to take care of your pets when needed. I am free throughout the week, and I have no problem in taking last minute jobs. Before taking a job I personally like to meet with clients to discuss everything that is needed to care for their pets, and will always update owners on anything that happens while watching after their fur babies.

“Jessica was absolutely amazing watching my bunnies. She went above and beyond to help my very old rabbit be comfortable and made sure he could get to food/water. I was stressed out having to leave my very old bunny but having Jessica checking on him twice a day helped. In addition to this she was very good about cleaning the space the bunnies lived in. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs.”

About: Hello I'm Lauren. I've got a pupper of my own named Layla. We love long walks in the evenings, playing ball, and long naps during the day. I work in the field of recreation so I like to be out and about but love to come home and cuddle at night. I've been working with pets since owning 13 rabbits when I was little. I have experience with big, little, and medium sized dogs and will work with behavioral issues as well. I do require that the animals that come to my house be crate trained for when I am at work or I can pet sit from your home if you prefer your pets to be out all day. Either way I'd love to meet your little darling/darlings.
“We were nervous to leave Davidson but Laura eased our worries. She sent updates,pictures and notes on him daily. She was wonderful with him and played with him. She even brought our garbage cans in! We will use her next time we travel. Highly recommend.”
