Pet care experience

Your New Favorite Pet Sitters!

I love animals which includes pets! I come from a home that has two of the sweetest pitbulls. Moving out I of course got a cat, and she does well with dogs! I also watch my family member’s dogs at my home and they do excellent with her. Each pet is unique in their quirks and what makes this gig especially fun in figuring out what is it. Hire me to give your pet the care they deserve.

House Sitting • Jul 08, 2026

Janessa was very friendly and handled my two high anxiety pups well. She and her partner even did a good job watering my plants while we were away. One piece of feedback I’d have is to be a bit more proactive with communication when unexpected things happen. On her second night at our place, Janessa left at 1pm and did not come back until after 11pm, leaving my dogs unattended for over 10 hours. When I noticed and asked if she was ok (I was worried something happened to her), she said she was stuck in traffic and had to take care of other clients. I understand things happen, but I would have liked a heads-up rather than me having to ask if they would be let out to potty soon, and why they skipped their walk for the day. That said, the rest of the stay was good and uneventful, and I would rebook Janessa and give it another shot.

Janessa provided great service for my frenchie Kunta, she sent progress pics and tended to the home for my short time away. Would definitely book her again.

Amazing service provided! Janessa was great with Ada, my German Shepard. She sent progress photos each night and day ensuring my pet was let out and fed. Will 100% rebook.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 14, 2026

Athena was happy to stay with Janessa. We got cute photo and updates during the day which was really helpful for us because Athena is not used to stay away from us. We had to prolong her stay for a couple of hours and Janessa was super understanding and helpful.

Janessa did a fantastic job watching my cat and house while I was away. She sent regular photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind knowing everything was being well cared for. My cat was happy and relaxed when I returned, and the house was just as I left it. I would definitely hire Janessa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Please let me know, be transparent with me and I will be with you! Pets are our children and I get the scares of leaving them alone with a stranger, but you can trust me and I will deliver.
