About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, growing up with pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I’ve learned how to provide the care, patience, and love each dog deserves. I’m now a proud dog mom myself, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, some playtime, or extra snuggles, I’ll treat your dog like my own. I have a flexible schedule, am extremely detail oriented, and am excited to help you with your pet care needs! I currently work completely remote with a flexible schedule and am happy to do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I am an early bird and can also come to check on your pup later at night if needed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m always attentive on walks, keeping a close eye on surroundings and using secure leashes and harnesses to ensure your pup stays safe. I also always make sure to take the time to ensure your dog is comfortable with me before taking them out.

Jess & Anthony L.Star Sitter
“I asked Jess to watch my 6 month old puppy, Chloe, for 3 days while I was out of town and it was the perfect experience! I'm very over protective of Chloe but Jess assured me that she would care for like she was her own. Jess let me bring Chloe over the day before I left for a little introduction so that she and Chloe could meet and that Chloe could sniff around her place and get familiar with the new surroundings. Jess was available anytime I texted her for an update, which was a lot since this was my first time being away from Chloe and I was a nervous wreck. Jess texted me picture updates frequently and took Chloe on walks around the neighborhood and to the local park, Chloe clearly looked happy in every picture she sent me, which helped calm my nerves. Overall, Jess was the perfect choice to watch my fur baby while I was out of town!! She is the only dog sitter I trust with Chloe and has watched her several times now, Chloe now loves going over her house!! She creates a safe and fun environment for dogs and truly does spoil them with love like they are her own. If you are in any doubt, don't be, Jess is the go to for your fur baby!”

Aniela C.
“I can’t recommend Aniela enough! She was absolutely fantastic with my large, high-energy dog who can be a handful on walks. From the start, Aniela was calm, confident, and clearly experienced with big dogs. She took the time to get to know my pup, and I could tell right away that he trusted her. Every walk was a success—my dog came back happy and tired (a miracle!). I also really appreciated the updates, pictures, and communication throughout. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, patient, and truly great with dogs, Aniela is the one!”


Riley F.Star Sitter
“Riley has watched my two cats since 2015. She’s super organized, dependable and so patient and sweet with them! She’s also the best dog mom ever and takes genuinely amazing care of her pup. I without question would recommend her to anyone whose looking for a reliable and caring person to watch your pets!”
