Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, reliable dog lover!
I have always loved dogs and taking care of them. My older mom has a mischievous Great Pyrenees mix who I regularly watch, and I fostered a hilarious German Shepherd a few years ago. I’m also the friend everyone calls when they need someone to watch their dog. Some of my regular visits include a sweet Cavapoo in UWS and a hyper Husky in Tribeca. I’m very comfortable with bigger and more energetic dogs, but just as happy hanging out with a smaller or more laid-back pup. Spending time with dogs bring me so much joy, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and whatever else makes them happiest while you’re away. I'd love to say hi to your pup!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I’m extremely reliable and trustworthy, and I treat every home like it’s my own (which I keep meticulous!). I know that trusting someone with both your dog and access to your home is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, make sure everything is exactly as I found it, and keep you updated so you know how your pup is doing. Most importantly, I’ll give them plenty of attention and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and safe while I’m there.
Ratings and reviews
Jesse is absolutely amazing with our Husky, Balto. Balto has a LOT of energy and can definitely be a handful, but Jesse is so great with him. He’s patient, attentive, and genuinely loves spending time with him. They’ve built a really special bond over the years, and Balto is always so excited to see him. Jesse's also super responsible, communicative, and respectful of my home. I trust him completely with Balto and would recommend him in a heartbeat!
Jesse was GREAT with Moby. He is clearly a dog lover and Moby, an anxious dog, quickly took to him. Jesse was also very responsive and responsible - wanting to make sure he knew everything he needed to know about Moby. Can’t wait to have him care for Moby again!
As an obsessive and anxious dog owner, I could not have been more thrilled with the care Jesse gave Rafa, my 10 year-old 80 lb. rescue when I needed to leave him in Jesse's care for a long weekend. Jesse is friendly and trustworthy but more importantly he was so loving and attentive to Rafa. Jesse followed my careful instructions for Rafa's daily routine and I had complete peace of mind leaving Rafa in Jesse's care.

Schedule
My schedule is very flexible, which is a big part of why I’m excited to do this! I work for myself and am often able to structure my day around when visits are needed. I’m generally available throughout the week, including during the workday, and I’m happy to discuss both regular visits and more occasional needs.

- I’d love to know what makes your dog happiest and most comfortable, and any special instructions of course. But don’t worry if there’s not much to share. I’m happy to figure things out as we go!
