About: What truly sets me apart is that animal care isn’t something I learned — it’s something I was raised in. Growing up in a home that served as a proxy animal shelter, I was immersed in the care of a wide variety of animals from birth, including fosters, rescues, and pets with both physical disabilities and special needs. That real-world, hands-on experience goes far beyond what most sitters can offer. Some key skills and experiences that set me apart: Special Needs & Disabled Animal Care: — I have extensive experience caring for animals with physical disabilities and health challenges, ensuring they receive patient, tailored attention and any necessary accommodations. Rescue & Foster Animal Handling: — Having grown up surrounded by rescue and foster animals, I understand the unique behavioral and emotional needs of animals that may have experienced trauma or instability. Multi-Pet Household Management: — Living with 5 cats, I’m highly skilled at managing the dynamics of a multi-pet environment, including feeding, space management, and monitoring individual health and behavior. Behavioral Awareness: — Years of experience with diverse animals has sharpened my ability to read body language and recognize early signs of stress, illness, or discomfort. Senior & Vulnerable Animal Care: — My shelter upbringing included caring for older and medically fragile animals, giving me the compassion and knowledge to handle their specific needs with gentleness and expertise. When you leave your pet with me, you’re not just hiring a sitter. you’re entrusting them to someone who has lived and breathed animal care their entire life.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Pet care is deeply woven into my daily life and personal history. I was born into an animal rescue family, raised in a home that functioned as a proxy shelter — caring for fosters, rescues, and animals of all abilities, both healthy and disabled. That upbringing gave me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and needs from a very young age. Today, I share my home with 5 cats, so feeding, playing, cleaning, and monitoring health and behavior is simply part of my everyday rhythm. Animals have always been my normal, and giving them attentive, compassionate care comes as naturally to me as breathing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Having grown up in a household that operated as a proxy animal shelter, caring for pets in a home environment is second nature to me. I currently live with 5 cats, so maintaining a clean, safe, and enriching home space for animals is something I practice every single day. I’m well versed in managing feeding schedules, litter maintenance, behavioral monitoring, and providing both physical and emotional stimulation through play and companionship. When it comes to caring for pets in a client’s home, I believe in respecting the animal’s established routine as closely as possible. Animals feel most secure in familiar environments with consistent schedules, so I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions precisely — from feeding times and portion sizes to preferred play styles and any special medical or dietary needs. My background with rescue animals also means I’m comfortable and experienced with pets that may have disabilities, anxiety, or special requirements. Whether it’s administering medication, providing extra patience for a nervous animal, or adapting care for a physically disabled pet, I approach every situation with calm, attentive, and compassionate care. Every pet deserves to feel safe and loved, whether I’m in my home or theirs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

“julia came on time and loki went right out with her - kind of unusual because he is often reluctant to go with someone he doesn't know. i am very appreciative that i didn't have to walk him today. i would definitely call on julia again”

About: My Husband and I welcomed my dog 7 years back in the family when we had no plan to have a pet but we just had to bring her home. I have trained her all by myself and received many compliments on how well-behaved my pet is. I have taken care of my friend's fur friends multiple times. Zusa gets along with pretty much everyone with a condition of them remembering who the queen is in the house lol there’s 40% chance of her playing with your pet but she’ll mostly mind her own business which noting everyone who stopped by- by the bay window that’s 10ft long. Your fur baby will be allowed there too after 24hrs of stay😊 we enjoy pets more than humans😜 which is why your pets likely to be cuddled here not just for the show. They’ll be treated as a cousin of Zusa visiting and nothing less than that. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to entertain your fur friend! I'm available on weekdays anytime after 10 am and accommodate them over weekends with some heads up. I have a fenced yard, lots of toys, and a Shitzu to give your pet company. I do have pretty much everything but a crate, so if you believe your pet will be more comfortable with that, then please bring it with you.

“Katie was super friendly and great with the pups, and was so patient even when my puppy gave her a hard time. She sends photos while she’s there and is great with communicating with you. She rocks!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by and taking care of dogs since I was young. I have experience with all ages, giving medications and with handling reactive dogs. I am currently working full time (4-5 days) as a server/bartender. My shifts are short(4-5hrs) and usually in the late morning or early evening so I always have part of my day to dedicate to your pet. I do not offer boarding services but I am more than happy to visit your pet and make sure they are comfortable, fed and walked if needed. I enjoy interacting with animals and assessing their body language to meet their needs.

“Our dog loves Jennifer! It makes all the difference to have someone so kind and caring and get such cute little updates while we're away. She's the best!”

“Isabel was simply fantastic and everything we could ask for! She is friendly and came with treats for our dog which helps with her first interaction. Isabel provided pictures which we really appreciate. Our experience was so positive and professional that we now have her walking Rosie on a weekly rotation to get that great puppy energy burned off. Thank you for your much needed help!!”

About: I have worked in dog boarding facilities as well as dog sitting for friends and family. I enjoy walks just as much as dogs do! I have a part time job where I make my own schedule so I can work as much or as little as I wish to there I have a fenced in yard and the cats will probably hide. I keep a very clean house so there’s hardly anything on the floor. Plenty of room to run around as well

About: I have grown up with dogs- both big and small- and have plenty of experience caring for them, feeding them, walking them, and playing with them! I was also a veterinary assistant, so I have some experience in the medical field, and gained a better understanding of dogs and their needs. I have had two special needs dogs, so I am also generally comfortable helping out with medication and other aspects of their care. I volunteer twice a week at my local shelter, where I have worked with all kinds of dogs and have learned so much about dogs in general. I am a proud dog and cat mom. I am enthusiastic, patient, and thorough and will make a great dog sitter and walker! I have a love for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I cannot wait to meet yours! I work 11-5 most days, so aside from my volunteer shifts on Thursdays & Sundays at 5 pm, I am generally available to work with your schedule. I am very attentive, observant, and respectful of your rules and home. If I have questions about care, I don’t hesitate to reach out so I can provide the best level of care possible.

“Jessica is amazing! She has excellent communication and asked questions prior to Maya's first walk about which routes she likes and any routines that she has. She arrived on time and was very sweet with Maya as soon as they met for the walk. She gave her lots of love and Maya got a great walk in. Our sweet girl came home with her tail wagging and is asleep now. I had surgery last week, so as I heal, this made life easier for us and for our dog, while it's still so important to us that she feels good and gets exercise. ❤️. We will definitely use Jessica again and highly recommend her for any service that she offers! Thanks so much, Jessica!”
