“Jess has been great with our dog Cocoa. Cocoa just seems happier knowing Jess will be there to spend some time. And we feel better knowing Cocoa is in good hands. Thank you Jess!!”

About: Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover with 2 years of experience caring for dogs and a deep commitment to their happiness and well-being. I’m in the process of learning dog training, which allows me to better understand and connect with your furry babies. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply spending quality time with your pup, I treat every dog as if they were my own—offering love, kindness, and plenty of pet hugs. I can’t wait to meet your dog and help them feel happy and loved while you’re away! Caring for animals is a natural part of my day. When I get home from work, the first thing I do is feed my two cats and spend time with them, ensuring they feel loved and cared for. Soon, pet care will become an even bigger part of my daily life as I begin training animals as part of my schooling. This growing commitment reflects my passion for animals and my dedication to their well-being. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or simply being there for them, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day. When I visit or pet sit in your home, your furry baby will be cared for as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, given plenty of attention, and kept comfortable in their familiar environment. We’ll enjoy playtime tailored to their personality, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or simply cuddling and keeping them company. For walks, I’ll ensure they get the exercise and fresh air they need while keeping their safety a top priority. My goal is to create a loving and stress-free experience for your pet while you’re away!

“Wow! One of the BEST pet sitters i have had! My pets were well cared for, no dirty dishes left behind, cat litter was changed AND TAKEN OUT TO THE GARBAGE CAN IN THE GARAGE!

“I am so glad to find Allie, I will be using her in the future to care for my pets when I am away from home. She took good care of my two cats for me and I will be hiring her again and again.”


“Sara is absolutely amazing. I was so hesitant to leave anyone with my fur babes but I will never have to do that again with Sara in our lives. This was our first time using Sara for pop in visits and she exceeded our expectations. I have a diabetic senior dog who requires insulin and eye drops as well as a playfully sweet 3 year old dog, 1 attention stealing cat and 15 chickens. She genuinely enjoys what she does and goes above and beyond with all of it. We are incredibly blessed to have found Sara and will definitely be utilizing her again and again.”
