Highlights
Pet care experience
The Best FurAuntie
What sets me apart is the genuine care and love I have for animals. Over the years, especially after having my own Yorkie, I’ve grown a deep appreciation for the responsibility and connection that comes with caring for a pet. I’ve been with him from puppyhood into his senior years, so I truly understand both stages and the different levels of attention, patience, and care they require. (He currently lives at home with my parents, but he’s still a huge part of why I care so deeply about the pets I look after.) In addition to my own experience, I’ve cared for a variety of dogs and cats, including both puppies and senior pets, so I’m very comfortable adapting to different energy levels, routines, and needs. I don’t just see this as a job but I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I want to be someone they can trust, almost like their “auntie away from home.” As an aspiring doctor, I naturally approach caregiving with empathy, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and routine so I can provide thoughtful, consistent, and compassionate care every time.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jade was a phenomenal sitter for my kitty! She was communicative and always available, and she went above and beyond with her care. She cleaned up an unusual accident my kitty had, and even brought Amazon packages in for me. I truly hope she’s available when I need her next because I will definitely be using her again! Highly highly recommend!
Another great stay with Jade! I feel better at dropoff because my dog is always so happy to see her. He barely looks back at me to say goodbye 😆
Jade was the best! She is so sweet and caring, our puppy is only 6 months old with a lot of energy and growing so big and Jade watched her for several days in a row. She noticed multiple habits and quirks we forgot to mention and definitely developed a bond with our pup in the time she watched her. Jade was very intentional with updates which we appreciated overall we highly recommend, we would definitely book again (:
Jade was great! She was responsive and took great care of my dog. My flight back got delayed several hours and she was flexible and accommodating.
Great job as always! My pup is always happy to see Jade and in great spirits at pickup 💗
Jade has watched my high maintainence senior dog several times while I’ve been out of town. She cares so much for my dog that I never feel worried when I’m away. Great communication, on time, always shares tons of pics and my dog loves her too!!! Definitely would recommend hiring her

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m currently a graduating senior, and as I transition into my post-grad schedule, I have more flexibility and time at home to dedicate to the pets I care for. I structure my days intentionally, making sure I can plan around each pet’s routine; whether that’s walks, feeding times, or check-ins throughout the day. I also work part-time, but I only take on bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so every pet receives consistent, attentive care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s not something I “fit in” since it’s a meaningful and prioritized part of my routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I currently provide care in my home, where I focus on making it a safe and comfortable space for every pet. Before each stay, I take the time to really understand your pet’s routine, like their feeding schedule, potty habits, energy level, and anything else that helps them feel at ease. My goal is for it to feel as normal and familiar as possible for them while they’re with me. I know the first day or two can be an adjustment, especially being away from home, so I try to move at their pace and build trust with them. I want them to feel like they’re in a safe space where they can relax and just be themselves. I make sure they’re getting enough walks, playtime, and attention based on their needs, but I also pay attention to their personality. Some dogs want to be active and play all day, and others just want to chill and feel comfortable, so I adjust accordingly. I also like to keep owners updated with messages and pictures so you can feel connected and know your pet is doing well while you’re away :)
A typical day
Fun activities really depend on each pet’s energy level and personality. Walks are definitely a big part of our day, but I’m also very mindful that not every dog needs or enjoys long walks. I like to match their energy, so if they’re active and want to be outside, we’ll go on more frequent walks or spend time playing. If they’re more low-energy or just prefer to relax, I’m perfectly happy staying in with them. That can look like playing with their toys, a little indoor fetch, or just hanging out on the couch and keeping them company. There’s also a small grassy area at my complex where we can safely play and let them move around, which is always fun for dogs that enjoy being a bit more active. At the end of the day, I just follow their lead and focus on what makes them happiest and most comfortable.
