About: I’ve loved and have been taken care of animals since I was a kid. Also I am currently attending school to specialize in animals behavior. I am currently working a part time job, so I have more than enough time on my hands to fit pit sitting in my schedule. I am very attentive to the pets at all time. I also make sure that anything that could possibly harm them isn’t in their vicinity.

“Jessica was fantastic. It was the longest I’ve ever been away from either dog let alone both at the same time. I was gone for 2.5 weeks. She sent regular updates. It was amazing to know my dogs and home were taken care of so I could enjoy and focus on my trip. Especially being in a time zone that was 5 hours off. I wish I had found her sooner. I will definitely be rebooking with Jessica if the need arises before I move later this year.”


“Chloe was awesome! She took great care of 4 dogs in my home when my boyfriend and I were out of town for work. She drove over for a meet and greet before as well. The communication and updates were great!”


“Payton was good at communicating and was able to give our 100lb dog medication 2x a day. He stayed the night with our babies and took great care of them. I would recommend him and use his services again.”
