“Jena was a blessing for us. Our first time using her services and she came over to meet our 12 year old, FIV positive cat Rudy. She took such good care of him and sent us lots of pictures. She did an amazing job of cleaning up his litter boxes too. We have used pet sitters in other states where we lived, but have to say she is the best! It is nice to know she is a Vet Tech and would know what to do in an emergency. Highly recommend Jena.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous, but once I met Mrs.Chyrl she was very kind and loving to my sweet fur baby. She was on time for all their walks together and she took care of my fur baby like it was her own.”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and support, I’ve had experience with all stages of life. I’ve also cared for dogs with health issues, so I understand how important patience, attentiveness, and gentle care can be. Whether it’s playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like family. I’m currently staying at home before I start medical school in the fall, so my schedule is all open any day of the week for pet care! I cannot offer pet care in my own home as I have animals of my own, but I can certainly pet sit in your home!
