Reliable and Caring Dog Sitter

Hello! My wife and I would love to take care of your dog. We both love dogs and have been taking care of dogs for the last three years. We are a very fun and active family. Together with our beautiful lab dachshund mix, Lucy, enjoy going on long walks, mostly in the mornings and afternoons. Most mornings we end up going to the dog park since we love that our Lucy and the dogs we are watching have fun and spend their energy. We live in an apartment, and will be able to cater to any of your dog’s needs.

Jesse and family are the BEST! We were able to schedule a meet and greet beforehand where we met them and felt instantly comfortable leaving our baby girl with them. Jesse was proactive with scheduling and details and provided daily updates/pictures/and videos of our jojo with her new bestie Lucy. (Their pup) I cannot recommend Jesse enough and I will be reaching back out whenever we need a sitter for Jolene. A random side note: our girl is a crate hater and they got her sleeping in a crate, no problems, they are miracle workers as well 😆. They treated her as part of their pack and I was so grateful to feel at ease while out of the country!

Jesse and his wife took such good care of Lina for us while we were in the office! She had so much fun playing with their dog, Lucy, and came home pooped! Highly recommend them for a daycare day!

Jesse was a fantastic host for our 9-year-old dog. He kept her company during the day and gave her lots of walks and trips to the dog park. We got frequent updates - photos and text about how she was doing. His dog got along great with ours. Will definitely use Jesse again!
