About: I've been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up around dogs and farm animals, and have always loved taking care of them. I'm familiar with all type of breeds and energy levels. I am a voice teacher and singer, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work around almost anything and will be able to give consistent care if needed. Each animal is unique, and I pride myself on being able to adapt easily to new routines so that your fur baby can continue their day with little to no upsets.

“Christina did a great job taking care of my two cats. I received a note and pictures every day and it was obvious that my cats were very comfortable with her. I would definitely use her again.”

I have Pet set for friends, family, and coworkers. I have boarding experience from Vet offices. I decided to start my own pet sitting business for numerous reasons. One, to limit stress on pets.

I have my pet CPR/first aid certification. I am insured and bonded as well. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, fish, and bunnies. You can relax while you’re gone. All cuddles are free! I am willing to do a meet and greet at no charge. Overnight hours 8pm-6am (Neg. On times). Do daily check in and walking. I’ve started my own pet sitting business. My focus is your pet. I’m currently doing overnight home stays in the comfort of their home for less stress for your baby/babies. I can check on them and let them out to potty. I care for your baby/babies in the comfort of their home. We can play, swim, walk or just cuddle & relax. If they are on medication, I can administer medication. I can do daily drop ins on them in the middle of the day to let them go out and potty or have some lunch. If they want to swim and no pool we can take a trip to my pool.
“Jaclyn was beyond what I expected. She went above and beyond to accommodate me. My baby instantly liked her as did I. For all future needs she will be my only go too. She was prompt, responsive, and a kind soul which I why I know animals take to her (and people). My experience was beyond 5 stars. Thank you so much!”
“Alex was absolutely incredible as a house & pet sitter. This was the first time we left our two boys alone for more than a few days and he made us feel so comfortable. Not only was he a great buddy for our outgoing cat, but he also managed to get our shy one out from under the furniture for cuddles. He was professional and friendly as well as super communicative. I would recommend Alex to anyone, but especially for those who are traveling for long periods of time.”
“My cat is shy around new people and tends to hide when someone new comes in. However he seemed to hit it off with Tallie from the beginning. Within a day he was out and up on the couch with her. She took really good care of him and I will probably be using her again in the future.”

Carly B.
“I have two pups, Mya and Milo, that Carly always takes great care of when she watches them. Mya is a 17 year old Jindo, which if you know anything about the breed, you know they are very smart, very loyal, and can be very protective. On top of that, she also has health issues that requires medication and attention. Due to both of these things it is extremely hard to find someone both we and Mya trust to watch her when we are away, but Carly is one of those few people. She is gentle and patient with Mya, makes sure medications are given at the correct time, and sends us pictures to ease our anxiety of being away. Milo on the other hand is a Corgi who is much, MUCH easier to handle. She is equally as great with him, and I think he might like her more than us (he sure seems disappointed when we come home). All in all, she is very kind and attentive towards our dogs’ drastically different needs, and I would recommend her to anyone who is needing someone to take care of their pups — whether it’s just for walking or extended time away.”

Michelle C.
“Michelle loves all animals; I have known her for over 15 years, and she eats, sleeps and breathes her dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, and probably many more that I didn't list. She has worked in vet offices and takes care of her friend's pets when they need her help on vacation or business trips. Your animal will sense her love for them once they meet her, and you couldn't hire anyone better to take care of them. She is dependable, nurturing, loving to all kinds of animals. She also educates herself to know all she can know about the animal she cares for and is really good at knowing when something is wrong.”
Jaclyn C.
“Jaclyn was beyond what I expected. She went above and beyond to accommodate me. My baby instantly liked her as did I. For all future needs she will be my only go too.
