Pet care experience
Pawsitively The Best 🐾
🐾 While growing up, I was always exposed to all types of pets, farm animals, exotics, reptiles, and pocket pets. I have pet-sited since I was 16 years old, but I also have 5 years of experience in the Vet Industry (Primary Care Clinics and ER hospitals) as a Vet Technician. I frequently volunteer at my local animal shelter as a Kennel Assistant. I have expertise in caring for elderly/disabled pets, Puppies, Pets in Recovery/Physical Therapy, medication administration (topically, orally, subcutaneous/intramuscular injections, IV Fluid therapy), Skin/Wound care, Post-Op care, and basic grooming such as teeth brushing, nail trims/Dremel, anal gland expressions, and ear/paw cleanings. I am also no stranger to high-energy cats/dogs, food/territory aggression, and separation anxiety! I am open-minded about caring for all types of pets, not just dogs and cats!

Safety, trust & environment
🐾 I follow your instructions to a treat, from feeding schedules to walk routes to belly rub quotas. I’ll keep things consistent so your fur-baby continues to feel right at home. As the Parent, you'll receive a detailed report card with photos and videos, “pupdates” so you can see the cuteness in action. I treat every pet like my own, because let’s be honest, once we meet, I am their new bestie. 🐶🐱💛
Ratings and reviews
Essence was great. Very detail oriented and follows directions exactly. Great energy and personality. Will definitely book her again!
Essence did an excellent job taking care of our Kitten. She showed consistently and provided daily feedback with pictures of our Sunny. She did an excellent job, and we will use her services again!
Extremely professional and loving with our pets. Essence is our go to every time we are out of town!
Essence did a wonderful job taking care of my Coco bean. She is very patient and loving and I will certainly rebook her when I have to travel again.
Essence is the best! She checks on everything that needs to be checked, she's amazing with the details, with letting us know how our baby is doing, and taking care of everything. would most definitely recommend, we've used her services twice now and will keep hiring her.
Essence gave me such an amazing experience and gave me the best peace of mind being a dog mom. I hate leaving my dog without a potty break for a long period of time and Essence was nothing short of easing my mind for the day. She let chewy potty, played with him, comforted him and took lots of pictures to let me know he was having fun! She even complimented his behavior which made me so proud of my baby. I will definitely be using her in the future.

Schedule
🐾 In addition to my passion for animals, I have a full-time job; however, I am still given the freedom to care for pets outside of that. I have incorporated pet care into my daily and weekly routine by caring for my own pets, doing Rover, and volunteering at pet shelters! I am very flexible, and I am usually able to work with any time frame.

- 🐾 I know being away from their favorite human can make some pets feel a little ruff. So what's the best way to ease that separation anxiety? Keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. When I have all the right info, I can make sure your fur-baby still gets the same daily care, comforts, and cuddles they’re used to. Of course, they’ll still miss you (no one can replace belly rubs from their #1 human), but with their new bestie, the homesickness won’t hit quite as hard. Think of me as the stand-in for walkies, snuggles, and treat time until you’re back. I recommend the Parents(s) text/write out a list of the tasks needing to be done, any triggers/things to avoid doing w/ their pet, daily habits, where things are located, any household requests, etc. I will also ask for most of, if not all this information during our meet and greet! 🐶🐱💛 Here are some examples; Triggers (things to avoid): Marley does not like his paws to be touched. Penny is food aggressive and should be fed separately from the other dogs. Angel will try to eat trash/foreign objects while walking. ------------------- Routines (daily habits): Rosie gets a treat after each meal. Charlie practices training commands for 15 minutes/day. Luna loves the laser pointer.------------------- Medications or Special Treats: Dental chews, probiotic food, medications, etc. ------------------- Other Info / Household Requests: Keep the kitchen light on when leaving. A gate code is required to enter the neighborhood/home. Feed fish or water plants.
