About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals for the past few years now. Starting with my own puppy at 8 weeks old to pet sitting 15 year old dogs. And all ages in between. I have also pet sit cats of all ages before. When I come home from college during my breaks my schedule is completely open so I have plenty of time to walk, play and care for your animals! I spoil my pets at home so they get lots of love and attention. Many walks outside as well as playing fetch! At clients homes I try to spend quality time with animal making sure they are comfortable and have everything they need before I leave.

“Becca watched my 2 elderly dogs when I went away. She took great care of them. She treated them as if they were her own pets. I felt super comfortable & was able to enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands”

“She has come for several drop-ins on my pup. Yelizaveta has been communicative and reliable so far!”


“I cannot recommend Jae highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that they truly love and understand dogs. My pup, Jackson, is usually a little shy around new people, but they warmed up to Jae almost immediately—tail wagging and all! While I was away, I received regular updates, including adorable pictures and messages that put my mind at ease. Jae went above and beyond, making sure Jackson was not only fed and walked but also happy and loved. When I returned, my dog was calm, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for—proof of the attention and care they received. It’s such a relief to know that I have someone reliable and loving to call on whenever I need help. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like their own, I would definitely recommend Jae! Thank you so much, Jae!”
