About: Ever since I was a child, I have dog and cat sat for family, friends, and neighbors. During college my friends with pets always knew they could trust me to watch them!😊 My family got our first dog when I was in the 4th grade. I was his primary care taker: making sure to feed him, give him water, let him out, and take him on walks. I have three pets of my own who I love dearly; two cats Cheddar and Brie, and a rabbit named Bunny❤️ I have summers off so I am available to check on or walk animals during the week days! I can also do pet sitting and check ins or walks on the weekends according to my availability!😊 When working with your animal(s) I will follow any instructions given to make sure that your pets are safe and comfortable. When I am with them they will have all of my care and attention.
About: I’ve spent the majority of my life caring for animals of all kind. From medical care to a thorough cleaning, I’ve been trained on it all! Over the years I came to learn that animal care can definitely have its difficulties, but with a simple base of love, patience, and consistency, almost any animal can adapt and thrive! As an experienced pet owner myself, I understand completely the anxiety that can come with leaving the well-being of your furbaby in the hands of someone else. However, my goal and promise as a caregiver is to keep my clients eased and updated. Pictures/videos of your pet playing, napping, eating treats, etc will be provided upon request via text message— no additional charge! If you’re looking for someone who guarantees to provide a safe, positive, and loving environment for your pet, search no further and book with me! 🤗 Pet care IS my regular routine! My weekdays and weekends are full of open time to dedicate to our furry friends! I’m very used to dealing with a fluctuating schedule, therefore I’ll be accepting same-day bookings as well as same-day cancellations. I’m always checking my messages! 🌼 If I’m a guest in someone else’s home, I’m leaving it cleaner than it was when I walked in. 🫧 While I unfortunately can’t board pets at my own house for the time being, I absolutely CAN cover almost any other aspect of pet care! Aside from the in-home care I will provide, my car gets excellent milage so I can drive longer distances/plan fun, client approved activities for your pet!

“She is just the best! We never worry when she is watching Bentley! :)”
“Jade was great about letting me know when she was coming over based on her work schedule, which we had discussed when I was making the decision to have her take care of my cats. She provided pictures and was excellent at letting me know when she was able to come over as well as when she visited. As this trip was over Memorial Day weekend, I truly appreciated her willingness to work with my requests. I will plan on having Jade take care of my cats again when we travel!”
