Veteran Pet Sitter

I have recently em"barked" on this pet sitting/house sitting venue. I retired from the Army Reserve in 2017. For the first time in my life, I have no pets in the house. I miss the companionship of a pet and thought this would be a great way to satisfy the need while thinking about having another pet in our household full time. I have had both dogs and cats.

We hate to leave our dogs, but occasionally we have to. Jean was awesome. I don’t think they even missed us.

Jean is amazing!!! Very combinative easy to talk with. Exceeded all expectations. I made an error trying to book her, so it didn’t get put in her Callander. At last minute she moved stuff around in life to still be able to accommodate us. I’m so thankful for her. She’s a life saver, my dogs absolutely loved her she sent pictures and videos. I could tell they were in good hands with let me relax. My Doberman is pouting around the house the day after we got back. I think he is missing his new friend. She is the best. I will definitely be using her again.

Jean did an absolutely amazing job! She is attentive, caring and really loves animals! Our female cat doesn’t warm up easy and yet, she really took a liking to Jean and our male cat felt immediately comfortable around her.

Jean is the best pet sitter we have worked with in NWA (and we had several disappointing experiences prior to finding her). A bit of background: We had to take a 10-day trip away from our sensitive, super-senior small dog and equally sweet and sensitive cat after losing two of our other seniors within a month (the remaining dog was still recovering from it). I work from home so the dog and cat are used to me being around. Our dog is very mellow but arthritic, sensitive about touch, and on multiple oral medications. Our cat is sweet with us but very wary of strangers and usually hides under the bed when others are visiting. It was really hard to leave them. Within a couple of days, our cat was sleeping with Jean, purring, and wanting pets (this never happens). Our dog was coming to her for neck rubs and both warmed up to her far beyond anything we expected. Jean gets all the credit for being available, attentive, and focused on their well-being. She followed instructions to a tee, sent regular updates and pictures and even took our dog to our vet when he experienced a seizure-like episode out of the blue (at the end of our trip, thank goodness). She called us immediately, calmly took care of everything, and provided regular updates until he was back on track. The house was immaculate when we returned and both fur babies were still walking up to Jean for love while we were there. I cannot recommend Jean enough - we have found our pet sitter and our fur babies have a new "aunt"! If you love and worry about your pets as much as we do, Jean is your go-to!

Jean was amazing! My wife and I coordinated with her prior to her house sitting for our Cane Corso so she could meet Luna Belle. It was a perfect fit and we felt very confident while we were on vacation. Jean kept in touch and sent s few pics of Luna so we knew she was in good hands. We will definitely use Jean when we need a house/pet sitter - she took fabulous care of our sweet dog!!

Schedule

I focus on your pet (s) while pet sitting. I am retired so just the occasional medical appt is needed to step out. I do not have any visitors at the house for the duration of the sitting. This way, I have plenty of time to talk, walk, and lavish affection on any pet.
