“After we had an awful first experience with rover with another Dog Walker, Deborah restored our faith in this service. What an incredible human, let alone dog walker. Consistent, great communication, and our dog adores her. I would go back to her 10 times out of 10!”

“During our meet and greet Loki took to Jordann fairly easy, so I felt good about her walking Loki. Yesterday was their first walk together and it went well(besides the heat). I came home and noticed that Loki was happy and very playful, all thanks to Jordann. Loki and I are looking forward to our weekly walks. I highly recommend Jordann, just not on Mondays and Tuesday ?”


About: My life is filled with fantastic pet stories, and I’ve had and cared for pets my entire life. I had my amazing Maine Coon Simba who I cared for throughout his life. He was smaller than the average Maine Coon, but had all the confidence of the largest one. Now, my mini poodle Camo is always ready to cheer me up. He is very energetic, loving, and protective. I am no stranger to caring for high-energy pets! I also have experience with larger dogs such as White Shepards and Dobermans. As well as less common pets like hamsters, bearded dragons, and snakes. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! Apart from a few weeks out of July where I will be working all day, I will be available to sit morning through evening Monday through Saturday depending on distance. I am flexible to care for your pet in a way they are used to, as I know everyone has a different routine and I don’t want your pet to become overwhelmed by changes. I love to walk dogs on their own or in groups (depending on size and temperament). I am great with entertaining and playing with dogs to give them their fill of exercise and interaction.

About: Animals—especially dogs—are my passion! I have over a decade of experience pet-sitting and grooming dogs, and have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats and exotic pets of all breeds and sizes in my home since I was very young. I have always been particularly passionate about caring for and working with dogs. I am the proud owner of two Australian Shepherds, who I enjoy training in behavior and agility. If you're in need of someone who is loving, patient and trustworthy to look after your dog(s), please don't hesitate to reach out! I look forward to having the opportunity to care for your beloved fur babies, and promise to love them like they’re my own while you’re away. *I have experience working as a dog groomer—I offer bathing services at an additional cost! Feel free to ask.* I currently work remotely full time, so I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide attentive care to your dog(s). I have a fenced-in backyard and two friendly Australian Shepherds to keep your dog company. Your dog will have as much supervised outside play time as they would like, and will have free roam of the main floor of my house at other times. If you prefer your pet to be crated at times, just let me know your preference and I’ll be happy to accommodate. ***Note: to avoid stomach upset/any allergic reactions, dogs in my care will ONLY be given food and/or treats supplied and approved by their owner. Additionally, to help protect my family, home and other dogs in my care, I ask that owners please ensure their dogs are up to date with flea/tick/worm preventative. If parasites are found, a $100 cleaning fee will apply.***

I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. Cats, fish, and most reptiles. I have owned cats in the past and I have family who have cats. I have cared for lizards and bearded dragons. I always follow the owners instructions on care. I have experience walking, playing with, and caring for animals. Administering medication, and basic first aid. I am patient when meeting a new animal. I allow them to take their time to warm up to me, I let them come to me vs me approaching them. Please let me know if any allergies, current injuries, medications, ect that I may need to be aware of. As well as any certain quirks they may have, for example some cats like to try and escape , dog can jump over the fence, they hate their neck touched, and so on.

I always make sure my dogs as well as others are harnessed and leashed prior to going outside. I make sure there are no hazards in the home that could hurt the animal in any way.

“We feel very fortunate to have met Shannon, she's wonderful! Reliable, trust worthy, and full of great energy. She always takes her time with our doggo and makes each visit special. Also, we very much appreciate her professional background in both firefighting and emergency medical services as it speaks to her general character and mindset, and provides us peace-of-mind that if an emergency situation were to occur, our boy is in the best hands possible.”

Ava C.
“Ava is fantastic with both our cat Gulliver and our dog Chloe. You can tell she cares about her connection with the pets she cares for and she pays attention to their individual needs. Gully typically just wants some attention and pre-nap playtime (he has an auto feeder), while Chloe wants to get out her energy on a walk. Ava keeps up well with her hyper ways and is patient enough to get her to calm down enough to get all ready for her walk. I’m thankful we’ve found someone we can easily rely on in Ava!”


Jessica W.Star Sitter
“I have never experienced a person more caring and kind with our pets. Jessica goes above and beyond every time! Its like our dog comes home happier and better off then when we left her. Jessica’s children are Soooo good with animals too. Its like the best place we never dreamed we would find. We plan our trips around her availability when possible! No kidding!!! Thank you Jessica and family for being the safest place for our little girl to stay and thrive❣️💖”
