Pawsome Pet Pro: Heart & Experience

Experienced Rancher-Turned-Petsitter: Passionate About All Creatures Great and Small! **NOTE: my rates are FLEXIBLE. If you have multiple animals, especially if you have dogs and cats, I generally will reduce the rate considerably. Animal care should not be prohibitively expensive; if it feels that way, please let me know and I’m confident that we can work something out. 🙏🏻😊 Growing up on a ranch, my deep-rooted love for animals began early. From tending to a variety of livestock like goats, horses, sheep, pigs, and alpacas, to caring for beloved domestic companions such as cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and even reptiles, my experience spans across the animal kingdom. Currently sharing my life with two spirited Boston Terriers and a charming sphinx cat, I understand the importance of providing meticulous care, engaging walks, and playful interactions for our furry friends. Over the years, friends, neighbors, and clients have consistently relied on me to extend my nurturing touch to their beloved fur-babies. Trustworthy and compassionate, I am committed to ensuring their well-being, just as if they were my own.

Jess was amazing with our two boxers! She looked after them for a full week while we were backpacking in the wilderness, and we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. She was reliable, caring, and clearly gave them lots of love and attention. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. We’d absolutely trust Jess with our dogs again and highly recommend her!

after getting off my flight i saw that jess sent me a message letting me know that she had other plans (that i guess she decided was more important then the job she was hired to do) so she couldn’t make my cats second check in, but she could come shortly after her first check in, with nothing for rest of the night. i then saw she had arrived hours early for her first check in as well without asking or acknowledging it at all. we told her that we felt concerned about her not making the check in times we set. Her response? she told us to find another cat sitter and bailed. we spent the next two days from another city in another time zone, completely stressed trying to find someone to care for our cat. i could not believe a sitter would abandon an animal simply because we expressed concern over her not doing what she agreed to. awful experience literally ruined our trip.

Jess is great! She is very respectful to us, our home, and our animals. After returning home, we found everything was in place and it was as if we never left. We will book her again in the future. Five stars ++ !

Jess did an amazing job with our two pups, one of which is a senior lab with health complications. She communicated throughout the stay and touched base with questions she had about our old guys care. We felt grateful to have Jess stay with our duo while we were gone and would happily book her again.
