“Oh my! This couple is amazing on so many levels! They treated Maggie like she was their own, welcomed her into their home and made them part of their life for the weekend. Multiple daily walks, exceptional feedback, and photos of their great adventures. Not only are they the best pet sitters you can find, they are truly exceptional human beings. You should have no hesitation in leaving your fur baby in their care! Best seen to date!”

“Jenesis was outstanding. We were in a panicked situation and she was very responsive to help. She was very kind and comforting to Chip during his stay and sent video and photos of him throughout his stay. She was wonderful about staying in touch with us anc keeping us updated on his walks and meals and how he was doing in general. I would recommend Jenesis to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets and we will use Jenesis again next time we are in town.”

“Bella did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my black lab during my recent trip out of town, and I'm certain that he'll be a regular visitor there in the future. She did a great job providing updates and pictures, giving me peace of mind during my travels that he was well taken care of and genuinely enjoying his time there. If you're looking for a sitter to do a little more than to just let your pup take up space on their couch, she's the one!”

“Jocelyn was a great person to board with. I've never had used a personal boarder before. We always used a kennel. She was good, she found her calling. She loves animals. She took good care of my Sadie. She sent me a few pictures of my pup and when I reached out she always responded in a timely manner. She asked about pups schedule about all of her needs. She was great.”

About: I treat every pet like family, taking time to learn their routines, quirks, and comfort needs. I offer patient, loving care so your pet feels safe, relaxed, and truly at home while you’re away. 🐾💛 Recently my sweet dog passed away. I loved her for 14 years and although I’m not ready for a new dog, I’m super excited to take care of yours! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to be with your pet. I am available during the week and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space outside and inside the house. Our medium sized dog recently passed away so our house is very much built around having a dog.

They communicated efficiently, updated me every day throughout the day, and most importantly my dog was himself around them. Heaven sent family ! Don’t waste your time and book now!🩷”

“We were nervous leaving our 6-month-old puppy for the first time, but Cory made it a wonderful experience for us and our pup. Cory was easy to communicate with; he provided lots of photos and updates when we were gone and Riley seemed very happy and content when we went to pick her up. We would definitely like to have Cory watch Riley again.”
