“Jazz was so very awesome. This was the first time we used Rover and she was a definite awesome choice for our cats.

We will definitely recommend and rebook Jazz 😊”

About: I'm very patient and experienced with fur babies of all sizes and kinds. I can handle watching dogs twice my size. I'm understanding that every fur baby is different and you have to treat them accordingly so they can become comfortable around you. I understand it can be difficult trusting people to care for them and will ensure they are safe and receive best care and time with me. I will treat your fur baby as I would want someone to treat mine. l work from home and do online schooling due to this my schedule is flexible. I’m available to watch your fur baby for entire duration if needed. I take them out for a walk as often as needed . If they take medicine I don’t mind administering it to your fur baby. I will stimulate their mind with different thinking games and treats. They will learn different commands if they don't know them already. I even take them to vet visit if needed throughout the duration of time I’m watching them.

About: My mothers has had multiple dogs for as long as I can remember. I love caring for animals in all situations. I’ve taken care of teeny tiny babies and huge old dogs as well. From super hyper- to the laziest of dogs. I am working part time mornings only and I have plenty of time to help you look after your babies. I’m home a majority of the time so this will be no problem. Plus I have my own fur baby that I’m taking care of anyway. I have a huge backyard that my dog loves to run around in( fenced of course). I also have a crate that I don’t use any longer but I can pull it out of storage if need be.

About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet care experience, I provide compassionate and reliable services tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medication, or offering overnight stays, I ensure your fur love bugs receive the utmost care and attention. My commitment to building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners has been the cornerstone of my long-standing career in pet sitting. As a dedicated pet sitter, I structure my daily and weekly schedule to ensure I am highly available and responsive to the needs of both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their owners’ homes requires a combination of attentiveness, respect, and adherence to established routines to ensure the well-being of the animals and the security of the home.

“Jorinee was excellent with both of my cats. I am so glad I found her. I use to be concerned about who would look after my fur babies or even if I would be able to travel at all. My cats were very comfortable with her. They were relaxed, well fed and their litter box was clean. You can tell it was done on a consistent basis. I have another lengthy vacation for next year and will no doubt be requesting her. She is excellent and I would recommend her to anyone asking.”



“Danielle is the best sitter I've ever had. She not only cares for my 13 year old dog Snow but treats him with the senior care he needs. She make sure he gets his afternoon arthritis pills he needs and she always follows instructions of where he can and can't go outside so he doesn't trip of hurt himself. She is always on time, and dependable. Because she knows how to care for senior dogs I only trust Danielle to take care of Snow. With her vet tech background, I trust her judgment if at any day something happens with Snow and she recommends he needs to go to the vet asap. Thank you Danielle!!! A+++”
