Pet care experience

Experienced and caring animal lover

Hi, my name is Jo and I would love to care for your pet! I have had animals my entire life, but after moving out I don't have my own pets anymore. I do still crave connection with animals and I have consistently offered care to other people's pets through the years. I have experience in professional dog grooming as a Bathing Manager and Groomer's Assistant. I have a regular cat client I check in on in my apartment complex. I have also fostered kittens and cats as well as dogs and puppies. I love animal personalities and find caring for them very rewarding. I understand there are different emotional and physical needs for each pet and I would love to know what your expectations are. Whether your animal loves to play, loves to cuddle, or would like to be left alone, I would be happy to sit, check on them, walk and play with them :). If you have any specific questions about my experience with taking care of animals or my schedule please private message me!

House Sitting • Jul 06, 2026

Jo was such a great caretaker for Ripley. We needed a last minute dogsitter for our holiday weekend and Jo really came through. Ripley is disabled and high anxiety, but Jo really made her feel at home. Frequent photo updates, detailed potty and medication schedule. I would trust Jo with Ripley any time!

Jo was so amazing! Provided very detailed updates and went the extra mile with cleaning up after my cat. They were super respectful of Bella’s boundaries and I would happily book again!

Weekends are more flexible, however I can offer more check ins if I am boarding in my own home. I work a standard 8 am - 5 pm schedule in an office setting. Both my home and my job are located in the central Denton area.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to care for your pet in my own home, simply because I cannot drive. I am willing to do overnight weekend visits in your home!

A typical day

I love taking walks on my own and with your pet! I am keen on finding a good park or a big patch of grass, I would love to learn what your pet likes the most! Fetch, tug of war, wand toys?

I feel it’s very useful to talk about the personality of your pet and what kind of language you use in order to speak to them. I want to make your pet feel comfortable and maintain their normal environment as much as possible. I appreciate very clear feeding instructions, notable behaviors, and any other concerns or expectations you have about their care!
