Dog Walking • Jun 04, 2026

Jesse has been my dog walker for several months. He’s always on time, very reliable, and easy to communicate with. I’ve had a hard time finding someone dependable in the past, so this has been a huge relief. Most importantly, he’s wonderful with my dog, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I’d definitely recommend him!

House Sitting • Oct 13, 2025

Jesse did an overnight pet sitting service for our 2 1/2 yr old doberman, while my husband and I went out of town. We recommend Jesse's services! Our dog Zeus quickly took to him, and he was dependable and attentive to our dog needs, and we will definitely request his services again.

Jesse has a remarkable gift for connecting with animals. Their gentle nature and patient demeanor immediately put pets at ease. I've witnessed firsthand how quickly animals warm up to Jesse's calm presence. It's truly heartwarming to see the bond they create with each furry friend. Jesse's dedication to animal welfare is evident in every interaction.

Jesse was wonderful with our dog Max. He was very patient and kind with him. We will definitely be using Jesse again and Max will miss his buddy.

Jesse was fantastic with my dog Melina. She is diabetic, has cushings disease, and is partially blind so she requires quite a bit of care. He paid attention to her needs and always made sure she didn’t run into anything. Whenever I need a walker or any care for my baby, Jesse is the first person I’ll call.
