“Yesenia is amazing. This is our first time leaving our cat after we got her from the streets, so we're a bit reluctant, but Yesenia gave us updates every single time. We'll definitely ask Yesenia again next time”
“We love Callie, today was super short notice and we were thrilled she could come and stay with our girl who is having some struggles. We never worry about her when Callie is here. Thank you, Thank you Callie.”
About: A lover of all pets, so no preference or problems when it comes to pet care. I enjoy the presence of all kinds of pets. I've had pets almost my entire life so I've gotten a lot of practice at home. I've also been trusted to care for friends and family pets while theyre on vacation so I've been able to care for pets that aren't my own. Currently unemployed, so I have all the time availale to care for any pets. Why be lonely when I can hangout with pets all day and have it be considered work. I enjoy the company of animals, so we'd be helping eachother. I will ensure the safety of them comes first, making sure doors and gates are secured, leashes are on right, food is the correct one.

About: I’ve taken care of my sister’s dog for years & learned a lot from her about animals since she’s a dog groomer. I had a few dogs growing up too. I’m a creative, an artist, I paint/draw & recently added digital art to my practice so my schedule is very flexible & most times can accommodate whatever your needs are. I will have no problem following any particular instructions you may have, but will ultimately show care & affection to your pets in your absence.

“Jazmin is the best! Not only did she provide excellent care to our two kitties while we were out of town, but she always sent a funny anecdote and a few pictures each day.

Lizbeth R.
“When I went on a weekend vacation with my family, I had to leave my two dogs at home. They both don't really get along, so leaving them alone together would put them at risk of hurting each other. I trusted having Lizbeth, my sister, stay at my house and watch them for us while we were out. She kept me updated daily, every couple of hours if not sooner. When I came home, the dogs were just as left them, and they were able to continue having human interactions even though we weren't there.”
