About: Experienced and passionate animal-care provider. I have experience caring for canines, cats, birds, horses, reptiles, rodents, and additional exotics. Additionally, I have worked in various animal settings such as zoological facilities, animal shelters, veterinary clinics, animal training programs, and pet sitting. I absolutely love working with any animal, especially exotics and strive to provide the best care possible to better promote their well-being. Overall, my experience stands out from others as I have worked in facilities that have taught me how to provide the best care for any companion animal. I am currently working full-time as an Animal Care Technician, so my schedule will reflect based on client needs for their companion animal and my availability. I am off on Sundays and Mondays every week, leaving more room for services! I care for another’s pet based on the client’s needs, schedules they have setup, and how they want their pet cared for. I am passionate about having every pet in a safe, and trusting environment, for which I can provide under my care.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.

You can trust that your beloved pets will be treated with kindness, respect, and the highest level of care. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priority. I'm passionate about providing top-notch care, going above and beyond to ensure your pet feels loved, secure, and content while in my care.
“Tawny was great! I have a senior dog with special needs on multiple medications, and he had just had surgery. She listened attentively as I was going over his medical needs and care. During his visits she sent me updates and lots of pictures. Everything was taken care of for him exactly as he needed.”

My cat Lydia absolutely loved Jasmine. Lydia would even great her at the door and show her to her toys. Jasmine gives very good updates for her visits. The little details are nice to read. She takes excellent photos for the Rover cards. I saved a few to send to family. Will definitely book again as Lydia approves.
