Hi, I'm Jesse and I love animals!

Pet care experience

I grew up with cats and dogs. I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have one dog of my own. She is my world. I am the go to pet sitter for my friend's, plus, word has gotten around and I have a few other clients that I sit for periodically. I've cared for dogs and cats, as well as other animals. Pet care is something I'm passionate about and take seriously.

Jesse watched our house and our animals (2 dogs, cat, fish) while we left town for a long weekend and we could not have been more pleased. Jesse is a very trustworthy and honest guy, and he loves our pets. We feel like we finally found a responsible house/petsitter and we'll be sure to contact Jesse again in the future!
