Reviews
Great job! Thanks so much for taking care of Lou!
Jordan is SO nice and accommodating! 11/10 recommend! :)
Housesitting for a week... On the positive side Jordan left the house spotless and seemed to take great care of the dog, garden, pool, and household stuff like mail. On the downside, I had to press for updates even though I asked to receive them frequently. She did not ask questions or take notes during the walk-through. I left very detailed notes and a checklist with a request that she check items off, but that wasn't done. Without checklist, notes, or updates I couldn't really tell what all got done. Since I came back to a missing chicken and one injured, I have to wonder if the details were followed in their care. I asked her to communicate and coordinate with the pool person coming by, but she did not do that. Overall I guess I was disappointed by the lack of communication, and concerned that she may not be experienced enough for very complex or prolonged gigs. Or a good fit for people who want a lot of feedback about how things are going back home.
Best sitter for our fur babies! She has been our savior for a last minute drop in!!

Safety, trust & environment
Depending on the breed and personality of you pet(s), I will treat them accordingly. In addition (if requested) I can clean, dust, retrieve groceries, and water plants in your home. Important information to go over during meet-n-greets is what time you want me to start, (ex: "we're leaving at 8am, so be there to check on our pet by noon") and what time you want me to be out of your house.
Information Jo S. would like to know about your pet
The dog breed and personality is important. Triggers that may upset your dog or make me lose their trust. Special dietary needs. Whether they are high energy or lethargic, have seperation anxiety or a snapping tendency, etc.
A typical day
An early morning or late afternoon walk, so no one gets burnt paws. Feeding, training, and good old fashioned playing. Hopefully a nap somewhere in the mix, too.

Availability
I am a freelance groundskeeper of sorts, so when I'm not needed for pet care I will be working in gardens, RV parks, and backyards.
