“Sydney was great with my dog and cat. She sent me regular photo and note updates on their days. She was very communicative about everything and they seemed very happy when I got home.”
“I watched Jennifer with Javie from my Ring doorbell, so I felt like I was there. Javie had a blast running around the yard. However, he found an old rawhide bone in the yard which would not be good for him. To get the old bone away from him, she gave him a new bone from the kitchen, which he preferred and then relinquished the old one. Javie can be very possessive of his toys and bones, so I really appreciated that Jennifer knew how to handle the situation. She was calming and encouraging, she is really good with him. I highly recommend Jennifer to those looking for a a care giver that is looking out for the best for their pet.”

About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life, including dogs, cats, chickens, peafowl, and other farm animals. I understand the importance of following routines, providing safe care, and paying attention to an animal’s behavior and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own.

I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule. My work hours can vary from week to week, but I communicate clearly with pet owners and respond promptly to requests. I am often available for afternoon and evening walks, visits, and pet care, and on many days off I can accommodate additional daytime availability. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and following each owner’s instructions as closely as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level so I can help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away.

I make sure they are inside the clients home and their cages if one is required before leaving the clients property.
“This was my first time leaving the dogs to be checked on by a non family member. Morgan was so kind to do a meet and greet a week or 2 in advance. My 3 dogs loved her instantly!

About: I am a Division 1 soccer player that manages time very well. With that, I am very active and responsible. I grew up with dogs my whole life and had to end up taking care of 2 of my senior dogs. They were a lot to take care of but, that didn’t matter to me as long as they were feeling loved. We have adopted 2 puppies within the past 3 years, so I do understand the commitment it takes to keep them in order. I have taught my puppies tricks, like sit, shake, spin and lay down! I do work part-time in the restaurant business so my shifts only last 4-5 hours max. I am very active, so I get my puppies walked usually 2-3 times a day. Whenever I am pet sitting, I make the pet my priority. I usually plan my schedule on what I have to do around the pet I am sitting. I provide safe, loving care tailored to each pet’s routine. In clients’ homes, I keep their routine consistent with feeding, walks/litter care, and lots of attention, plus regular updates for peace of mind.
