“Jenna was excellent. She sent me videos couple times a day which gave me sense of peace that my fur babies were being well cared for. I came home to a clean and organized home. Besides take care of my fur babies she also took care of plant babies. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter. I will be using Jenna for all my pet sitting needs.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life! I grew up having golden retrievers, and my parents and I even bred ours so I know puppies very well too! I am also very active, so would love to take your dogs on long walks or runs. I work flexible hours, 8:30-3:30, so I can spend lots of time with your dog. My work hours are flexible, typically 8:30-3:30. So I can be available in the afternoons and evening. I will feed and walk in the morning, let out and lunch, and then be able to spend the rest of the afternoon and evening with them after 3:30. I have house sat, dog sat, and baby sat for many years. I will treat my clients house with cleanliness and respect, and would be thrilled to help them with any other tasks they need while I’m there!

About: I've taken care of many cats and dogs since I was young. Over the years, family, friends, neighbors, and roommates have all relied on me to feed, watch, walk, play with, and give lots of love to their fur babies when they are out of town. I currently am not able to have a pet due to my apartment complex, so I would love to be your fur baby's new best friend! I have experience with all sizes of cats and dogs. I can't wait to meet your pet! I currently work a job 8am-5pm Mon- Fri. Outside of that, my schedule is very flexible especially on the weekends. I am happy to work with you to find a time that fits your needs! I will play with, walk, feed, and love your your pets as if they are my own. I want to make sure your pets are having a wonderful time and look forward to me visiting them! If you need to go out of town, I am happy to come over and watch them. I am always happy to discuss if you want me to stay overnight.

“Casey was AMAZING! I was so nervous leaving my 9 month old puppy with her for an entire weekend but she was so reassuring and sent updates and pictures along the way. My pup even looked around the house for her when we got back because they had such a great time together! Will definitely book her again!!”


“Erin was very responsive during the New Years holiday. She was very courteous of my residence and I enjoyed the various dog play photos that she sent me while I was gone. Thank you again!”
