I currently work from home and spent time actively outdoors daily with my pup! We take morning, noon, and evening walks. Your dog can join my energetic Brittany Spaniel for a fun, socialized neighborhood adventure—great for 'social butterflies' who love to play as they walk. If your pup prefers a slower pace or one-on-one attention, I offer dedicated solo walks to ensure they get my undivided focus and care.

Safety, trust & environment

When you hand over the leash or the keys to your home, you need absolute peace of mind. My 25 years of experience means I don't just love animals—I know how to keep them safe. From managing the unpredictable energy of puppies to ensuring a secure, stress-free environment for seniors and cats, I treat your pet's well-being as my ultimate responsibility. I don't currently have a yard, so spend a lot of time interacting with my babies outside on a leash or at my neighborhood dog parks with pups I know and trust.

Information Jodi M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs and I’ll work to accommodate. I can administer meds and have experience with injectables. For boarding, I prefer dogs that are friendly with other pets (cats and dogs).

A typical day

I love to be outside! I’m interested in activities that your pets love - whether that’s going for long walks to sniff, throwing tennis balls in the yard, or heading to a safe park. If you have kitties, I’m in to snuggle, to play with their toys, and to keep litter boxes clean.

Jodi is a great pet sitter! She fed and played with my cat every day while I was away.

OMG! Jodi was perfect. Always on time, easy to communicate with, super understanding. She did every recommendations that we told her for our cat and more than we expected. Our cat was always happy to see her. We 100% recommend Jodi. It was so reassuring to have her during our time away and have news every visit. We had an amazing experience.

Jodi is absolutely wonderful with dogs. She makes them feel so loved, gives them the best belly scratches, and takes the most scenic and enjoyable walks. Our pup adores her. We can always count on her!

Jodi is truly an exceptional pet sitter, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She cared for my black lab, Maker, for three months during a particularly intense time in my life; my husband was deployed, I had a newborn at home, and Maker was still a young, high-energy pup. I honestly don’t know how I would have managed without her. From day one, it was clear how much Jodi genuinely loves animals. Maker absolutely adored her, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Jodi didn’t just “watch” her, she went above and beyond. She made sure Maker got plenty of exercise (never ending ball throws), took her running, let her swim, and even coordinated times to meet up with me so we could all spend time together. Jodi stepped in at a time when I simply couldn’t take on the full responsibility of a young dog, and she did so with so much kindness, reliability, and heart. I trusted her completely, and she exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as if it were their own, Jodi is that person. She is truly one of a kind.
