Pet care experience

I just want to help

I’ve been around dogs my entire life due to my Grandma. I played with and walked her dogs since the age of 10. Now I have my own dog and have been his sole care taker since he was 8 weeks. I love walks with my dog and our sessions of tug-a-war, fetch, or whatever he’s in the mood for. Caring for and engaging with dogs and puppies brings me joy. I know we want to give our furry friends the world, but that can be a bit of a struggle without some help. I’d love to be able to assist you, the owner, with providing nothing but the best for your furry friend.

Safety, trust & environment

I meet the dog where they are for walks as I know every dog is different and some prefer longer walks compared to others. I always use a leash and like to keep the dog close to my side. I’m very observant of any distractions that may cause the dog to pull, and prepare for any pulling by bringing the dog closer to me and using a slightly tighter grip. I am not a rough player with dogs and never push the dog over their limit.

Essence was so good with Pepper and Rosie. She took the time to get to know them and sent us pictures and videos daily to let us know how they were doing. Her communication was great. Highly recommended!

Essence was a good sitter for Lilo and Grecia. Appreciated her for willing to meet them before coordinating drop in visits. She’s very patient and understanding. We believe both of our dogs felt safe and comfortable with Essence. She even went beyond and took our very energetic dog to the park, we are grateful for that.

Essence was AMAZING with my dog. He loved her from the moment she came over to meet him prior to her caring for him. She did an amazing job, just the way I asked. I will definitely be looking for her anytime I need assistance with my fur baby. She is truly amazing

Essence is amazing! She watched my golden doodle while I was out of town on a work trip. My dog is really high energy and Essence made sure to take her on several walks a day as well as giving her time to run around outside. She fed her on schedule and made sure my dog got her medication when needed. When I picked my dog up she was worn out from playing and was so happy. I could just tell she was well taken care of while I was gone. Essence is super trustworthy and I would definitely leave my fur baby with her again!!

I like to know their temperament, what they love and what they dislike, if they have any health issues such as hip dysplasia or anything that’ll affect our time together.
