Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly & Professional
I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for several years and truly treat every pup like family. Whether it's energetic puppies that need consistency and positive training, or senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra care, I adapt to meet their individual needs. I’m attentive, reliable, and always focused on keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach, and strong communication with pet parents. I’m comfortable administering medications, following feeding and walk routines, and providing updates with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I aim to make every stay or walk a positive, loving experience!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Essence was absolutely amazing with Archie! I had to find a last-minute sitter over the busy Memorial Day weekend, and she was a total lifesaver. From the very beginning, her communication was incredible. She responded so quickly every time I messaged her for an update and sent the photos of Archie, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly cares for the dogs she watches. I highly recommend Essence to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Great dog sitter! My pup was happy and well‑cared for. Would definitely book again.

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority in my schedule. I structure my days to be flexible and pet-focused, which means I can give your dog the time, attention, and exercise they need, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. Since I’m already active and love being outdoors, taking dogs on walks or playing with them is something I look forward to and enjoy incorporating into my routine. I’m also committed to creating a calm, consistent environment for pets, so you can count on me to be reliable and present during each visit or stay.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs so I can provide a calm, loving environment that helps them feel at ease. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, cozy space, plenty of playtime, and supervision. I keep their routine consistent with what they’re used to—whether that’s specific feeding times, crate training, or quiet time. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions carefully—sticking to feeding, medication, walking, and potty schedules. I also make sure your pet gets affection, mental stimulation, and a sense of companionship while you're away. Regular photo updates and check-ins are always included—because I know how much peace of mind it brings to know your pet is happy and well cared for!
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy, active, and engaged! For dogs, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, or having fun with their favorite toys in the backyard or at a nearby dog park. If they’re more relaxed or senior pups, I make sure they get lots of gentle attention and snuggle time. For cats, I offer playtime with wand toys, laser pointers, and cozy window-watching sessions. I also pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality and energy level, so I can tailor the activities to what they enjoy most—whether it’s play, cuddles, or just good company.

- Before watching any pet, I like to learn as much as I can about their personality, routine, and preferences. Every pet is different, and knowing what they enjoy (and what they don’t!) helps me give them the best care. Once I understand their needs, I can plan fun activities they’ll love—whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, using puzzle toys, or just relaxing together. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable the whole time.
