Pet care experience
Experienced Pet Care
I have cared for dogs and other pets all my life and know how important it is for our pets to have consistent, loving, and dependable care. I treat every pet in my care like a cherished family member. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and completely comfortable in their own home while you are away. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages and energy levels. I know that every pet has a personality, from puppies who need to release that extra energy to older dogs that need extra patience and attention. I have personal, hands-on experience caring for aging pets and those navigating complex health journeys, including cancer. I am fully comfortable administering oral medications (pills and liquids) with a gentle, patient touch. Puppy Patience & Guidance: While not a commercial trainer, I have successfully raised and trained multiple puppies over the decades using consistent, loving, and positive reinforcement. In-Home Comfort & Security: By focusing exclusively on house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks, I keep your pets in their familiar environment—minimizing stress and giving you total peace of mind. I look forward to helping you have peace of mind and giving your special pet the companionship, cuddles and play (or simple, calm routine) they need while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your peace of mind and your pet’s safety are my absolute highest priorities. When you trust me with your home and your beloved pets, I take that responsibility seriously, ensuring a secure, stress-free experience from start to finish. Meet & Greets: Before any booking, I always meet with you and your pets in person. This ensures your pet feels comfortable with me, lets us review their unique routines, and allows us to establish your exact communication preferences. Meticulous Home Security: I am thorough when it comes to securing your home. You never have to worry: I double and triple check every door, lock, and gate before leaving your property. Consistent Communication & Photos: You will never be left wondering how your pet is doing. I send updates and photos with every single visit, keeping you fully in the loop so you can relax while you are away. Safety First on Every Walk & Visit: Decades of pet ownership mean I am always alert to surroundings, keeping dogs on a secure leash, monitoring for potential hazards, and giving your pets the calm, vigilant attention they deserve.
Ratings and reviews
I have known Jesse for over 35 years, and he has as an incredible love and compassion for animals. He treats every animal with kindness, patience, and genuine care, but the bond he shares with his Australian Cattle Dog is truly something special. He is completely devoted to his dog and goes above and beyond to make sure he is happy, healthy, safe, and loved. His animals aren’t just pets to him—they are family. He has gone the extra mile on many occasions to make sure that a pet is loved, safe, and secure.

Schedule
My schedule is flexible so I am able to adapt to your pet’s routine. Whether they need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight companionship, I have the time and dedication to make sure they get unhurried, attentive care every single day. I try to adjust my daily routine to mirror yours as closely as possible, keeping your pets on their familiar schedule for meals, play, and bedtime. Because I don't host pets in my home, my focus is entirely on keeping yours safe and comfortable in theirs.
