“Jenesis has watched my dog several times now and he loves staying with her! Bentley and her dog get along really well and they play all day long and tire each other out. My dog has some special food needs and she accommodates those and keeps me updated with how he’s doing. I know Bentley is in great hands when he’s with her”

About: I treat every pet like family, taking time to learn their routines, quirks, and comfort needs. I offer patient, loving care so your pet feels safe, relaxed, and truly at home while you’re away. 🐾💛 Recently my sweet dog passed away. I loved her for 14 years and although I’m not ready for a new dog, I’m super excited to take care of yours! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to be with your pet. I am available during the week and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space outside and inside the house. Our medium sized dog recently passed away so our house is very much built around having a dog.

“Bella did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my black lab during my recent trip out of town, and I'm certain that he'll be a regular visitor there in the future. She did a great job providing updates and pictures, giving me peace of mind during my travels that he was well taken care of and genuinely enjoying his time there. If you're looking for a sitter to do a little more than to just let your pup take up space on their couch, she's the one!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely grew up learning how to care for them. From a young age I helped take care of my neighbors’ dogs, which taught me how to handle different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. As I got older, that turned into building a larger group of regular clients who trusted me with their dogs. Because of this, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I treat every dog like it’s my own, making sure they’re safe, exercised, and happy. As a student, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of free time, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, and sitting so dogs get the attention, exercise, and care they need—not just rushed visits. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can be reliable with timing and adjust to each dog’s routine. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending time keeping them company, I’m able to give each dog consistent care and attention throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications (if needed), and any specific house rules. I make sure dogs get proper exercise, attention, and playtime, while also giving them calm companionship so they feel relaxed and safe. I always keep the home clean and secure and provide regular updates to owners so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have two dogs of my own at home and have fostered two additional dogs, which has given me a strong understanding of different personalities, temperaments, and care needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’ve had experience caring for neighbors’ dogs and genuinely love spending time with them. I enjoy long walks, playtime, bathing, and making sure each dog feels safe and cared for. I also have hands on experience with puppies. I’m currently a senior at James Madison University and have a lighter course load this semester, which gives me flexible availability. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends as needed and am happy to accommodate different schedules. I would make sure the dogs or puppies stay in their environment so they feel comfortable and not anxious. I am accustomed to dogs being anxious which helps me recognize the signs.

“Esther was excellent! It was very apparent that our dog was in great hands. There were many dog park trips and I could tell from the pictures I received that my dog was having an awesome vacation of her own. If you are looking for someone who loves animals and will treat your dog as their own, look no further! Thanks again, Esther!”

This was the first time we have left our pup with someone she doesn't know, so you can imagine how nervous we were. When we saw how quickly our pup felt comfortable with Mirjana and her home, we knew she was in good hands because dogs are good judges of character. Mirjana sent us plenty of updates, pictures, and videos to put our minds at ease. Our pup loved her large fenced in yard! For anyone needing pet care, I highly recommend Mirjana. She will take amazing care of them. We definitely will be coming back!
