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.

Janessa was absolutely incredible. I genuinely cannot say enough good things about her. I was away and she cared for my pets during an incredibly difficult and emotional time for me. My senior cat Hank became very sick while in her care, and Janessa went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, cared for, and treated with so much kindness and compassion. She kept me updated, sent me pictures, helped me FaceTime with him, and even helped find a clinic when it became clear that it was time to let him go. Being unable to physically be there with Hank was heartbreaking, but knowing Janessa was looking after him and treating him with love meant more to me than I can put into words. She also took wonderful care of Xena and communicated with me throughout everything. This wasn’t just someone watching my pets. Janessa showed genuine compassion for them and for me during one of the hardest moments I’ve experienced. I will always be grateful for what she did for Hank in his final days. I would trust her with my animals again without hesitation and recommend her to absolutely anyone. Thank you, Janessa. ❤️

Janessa and her partner were great. They have a really nice size condo /apartment that has a lot of space plus an enclosed long balcony. I appreciate them taking Tito on long walks. I went out of state for 4 days and didn’t have do worry at all. She kept me updated during the trip once or twice a day which is perfect for me. Thank you again I’ll be booking again next month.

Really appreciate Janessa and her partner and the care they took of my senior dog, Bailey. Janessa was responsive over text, sent pictures and updates, and was extremely flexible and understanding when I had flight issues that interfered with my pickup time. Janessa followed all of my care instructions for Bailey and she was returned to me happy and healthy.
