I'm an animal lover!!!

Pet care experience

I'm a college student trying to achieve a degree in creative writing. I babysit most of the time but for a while on and off I've done either pet sitting, dog walking, or even house sitting. I took care of my dog Icis listed below for 14 years till she passed last year. I love caring for dogs and even cats I owned many growing up. My goal is to maintain a stream of clients and start watching more pets full time. I love animals!! I grew up with many different pets from cats to lizards, turtles and plenty of dogs. When I started pet sitting I did it through a company for a little while but then became independent and started taking on my own clients. I do everything I can to make your pet feel safe and loved while you're away. Don't worry about them when they're with me because I'll make your pet feel at home.

I hired Essence to walk, and provide house sitting for my 5 year old dog Georgie while I was on vacation. Essence was reliable, professional, consistent with photos, and very kind. My Georgie loves Essence. I highly recommend! I look forward to working with her again!

Essence was a great communicater. I had no issues leaving her with my cat Milo. She gave him his medicine, fed him, when she did a drop in visit. When it came to sitting for the day with him at her home or mine, she played with him and would send me such cute videos. I was very surprised to see that my cat warmed up to her so fast. He never really warms up to many people. it was the cutest. I would definitely recommend her!

Essence was an amazing dog sitter who I still use occasionally. I wasn't comfortable at first with the idea of having someone come into my home and care for my dogs Coco and Didi, but even from the first time meeting her I knew she was trustworthy. She assisted in walking my dogs, bathing them, administering medication, and staying overnight when I was away so house sitting services. It was a pleasure and I highly recommend her.

Information Essie L. would like to know about your pet

If your dog need anything in particular like medication or he or she has an anxiety about being left along these or things you should let me know. I am accountable for them while you leave them in my care and will do everything I can to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

Going for long walks, maybe putting something on the TV like Marley&Me. My dog used to live watching other dogs on TV. Obviously just playing with them overall and keeping them engaged. Dogs need attention and so do cats!!!
