“I have never had a dog walker, but I have always worried at work. Especially on days when I have to work 12+ hours. Jessica quickly stepped in and has been walking Jax mid day. She sends pictures of their walk and it brightens my day, Jax’s day and it takes anxiety away from me for being gone so long. It’s worth the money and Jessica has been a tremendous help!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to understanding each pet's unique needs and providing personalized care. For any dogs, i know how to handle their special needs, like administering medication(oral) and providing gentle, appropriate exercise. My attention to detail ensures that every pet feels comfortable and loved, whether they're young or old. Plus, I always keep communication open with pet owners to make sure they're updated and reassured about their pet's well being Pet care fits into my daily routine by making sure I have specific times set aside for feeding, exercise, and play.

In the evenings, there's usually another round of feeding and of course walks! When I care for pets in my home, I make sure they have a cozy space with all their essentials like food, water, and a comfy spot to relax.

About: If you ask anyone, they will tell you my biggest dream and goal in life is to own acres and acres of land so I can rescue dogs. I am a huge animal lover and love to give animals the attention and heart they deserve. I have a full time job but I also have a husky which means the walks do not get limited. I still wake up early, go for a long walk, and then pulse in walks and bathroom breaks throughout the work day and then go on at least two more walks at night. On the weekends, it looks pretty much the same but maybe a few more miles of walking. I do not have a fenced yard but I have an enclosed patio. I live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of walking areas and a lot of grass. I do have a dog park too.
About: I’ve cared for everything from stubborn Pyrenees puppies to wild German shepherd ‘toddlers,’ mellow couch potato bulldogs, and all kinds of lovable nuts in between. I grew up with goldens and started volunteering at dog shelters with my parents when I was nine, it’s always been my therapy and my happy place. I know how much trust it takes to leave your four legged family member with someone else. I don’t take that lightly, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own :) Pet care is naturally woven into my day after having many four legged roommates, from daily walks, meals, playtime, it’s become my favorite parts of my days. I’m reliable and deeply attentive to animals’ needs and unique personalities. You can count on me to treat your pet like my family as much as they are a part of yours. I aim for a fun, clean, and safe environment, whether in my home or yours. I follow you and your pet’s regular routine closely, from feeding and walks to play and cuddles, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and stress free while you’re away.

Karrah B.
“Karrah goes above and beyond - we have an active husky and blind golden retriever. Whether it’s staying active in the yard, going for walks, playing inside with toys or just hanging out with the dogs, she takes great care of them every time. She shows up on time, takes care of the dogs on time, and the dogs look forward to having her walk in the door. Highly recommended.”
Nicole C.
“Nicole is the best! When we were neighbors, she would always watch my dogs and cat when I was out of town, and I always felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. Nicole is great with pets, super responsible, and responsive. Even my super shy cat warmed up to her right away! I couldn’t recommend Nicole enough.”

Gracie would be the perfect caregiver for any pet!”
