Your pets-our passion

I have over 20 year experience owning, showing and competing dogs for clients as well as my own. I have titled/finished dogs in conformation shows and agility and currently own working German shepherds that are trained for personal protection. I have worked with animals my entire life from dogs to horses and everything in between, I’ve worked for many boarding/ doggie daycare facilities and worked as a hospital tech at animal hospitals. I am extremely confident working with any breed or temperament! I currently own and manage a small farm raising sheep, goats and cows which gives me a lot of free time I’m looking to fill. I am home all day and can take care of your pets while you are working or away I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs that can keep your pups entertained during their stay and if they are not dog friendly we can accommodate that as well!

Jilesa is simply awesome. I love her little farmette and all her animals. Shorty is a very active dog and meeting the different animals certainly kept him entertained. She had given him a bath, ( he is part Shih Tzu and has white curly hair), and trimmed his nails before I picked him up and he looks like a big fluffy snowball! He came home and took a long nap which is unusual for him so I know he was a busy little man. Don’t hesitate to engage Jilesa; she and her husband are definitely animal lovers and will take good care of your pet. 10 out of 10 stars!!

Great with my dogs and also accommodating with a late return to add an extra night. Highly recommend and would use again. The dogs loved the farm and other animals around!

Jilesa was excellent! She provided daily updates & pictures of my baby, so I was at ease his entire visit. Will definitely book again. 😊

Jilesa is AMAZING !!!! She should be your number one pick! She is intelligent, caring, and incredibly competent. Ready to handle anything you throw at her. We might start scheduling our vacations around her availability!!!

Jilesa is an awesome pet sitter. She is attentive with my two dogs, especially the new member of the family Buttercup. Gave me updates on how my two dogs behaved. My dogs were happy. I really recommend her for your pet sitter needs.
