🐾 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 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. 🐶🐱💛

Information Essence G. would like to know about your pet

🐾 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.

A typical day

🐾 Living our best life until mom/dad gets home!🐾 The moment I arrive, I paws to text you that I’ve safely made it to your fur baby’s palace. From there, I follow your instructions, whether that’s feeding, walking, cuddling, or refereeing a feisty game of the zoomies. Throughout the visit, I’ll play paparazzi 📸, snapping plenty of tail-wagging photos and whisker-twitching videos so you never miss a moment. When our time is coming to an end, I’ll whip up a personalized report card full of the highlights, think of it as their daily purr-formance review. 🐶🐱 Finally, I’ll text you again before heading out, letting you know your fur-baby is happy, safe, and already counting down the minutes until my next visit.

Pet care experience

🐾 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!

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!
