About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8-9 years old, taught proper care and handling as well as respect for all. I have experience giving medicine regularly and as needed, bathing and brushing, assessing comfort levels and giving good ol’fashion belly rubs. I am familiar with strict meal plans and the importance of keeping up their established routines. I follow your furry friends lead, never forcing unwanted attention and respecting their boundaries. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to help watch your lovable puppers and cats! I am available 6AM-1PM everyday with my afternoon/evening availability changing weekly, only requiring a few days notice to work out our game plan. I am currently available for in-home visits and walks, and am fully capable of running around with your dog when needed! I respect all house rules and keep clients updated upon arrival and when I’m departing.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid! Growing up in an apartment, I was always around cats and have been taking care of my own for the last 7 years. I am a total cat lady! I have cat-sit for many friends, colleagues, and family members. I've also always loved being around friend and family members' dogs and have dog sit several times, including walking and overnight care. I am patient, respectful, and reliable for providing clear and consistent communication. As a grad student, I am also dependable for responsible and respectful service. I know that trusting someone with your pets is a big responsibility, and I will do everything I can to give your furry family members as pleasant and relaxing an experience as possible while you're away! As a PhD student, my summers are very flexible as I am mostly working on independent research projects and preparing to teach in the fall. I have a car and am able to travel for the visits. Outside of short travel dates, I am usually available throughout the day and can complete multiple visits in a day if needed. When meeting new animals, I always allow the animal to dictate how much they want me to interact with them. Along with the basics of feeding and cleaning up, I always make sure to provide the animals with some play time and comfort. I am happy to talk about your animal's specific needs and how I can best care for them.

Jadyne M.
“Jadyne is an absolutely amazing and very considerate pet sitter! I went out of town to visit family for over 2 weeks, and she was fantastic with coming in daily to check up on my cats. She stayed for a few hours at a time every day to check up on their automatic food and water feeders, as well as clean up their litterbox. I was especially appreciative of her attention to detail with the litterbox, since one of my cats is quite picky with the litterbox setup. Jadyne was able to accommodate her pickiness with no issues, which gave me enormous peace of mind on my trip! I was also grateful that Jadyne was willing to stay for a little bit during each visit to spend time with my cats and play with them so they wouldn't get too lonely. She frequently sent photos and videos so I knew they were doing okay, and communication was a breeze.”

Vanessa C.
“Vanessa took excellent care of my dog Daizy (who has since passed). Whenever I was away, Vanessa was a willing and reliable dog sitter/walker, and even took Daizy into her own home on occasion if it was convenient and the need arose. She clearly does this not only because of her commitment to a job well-done, but because she truly loves animals and cares for them as if they're her own. I sometimes feared Daizy liked Vanessa more than myself! Seriously though, I wouldn't trust anyone with the care of my pets more than I do Vanessa.”

Amber did an excellent job. She fulfilled all of my expectations, and then some. She alerted me to a possible tick bite and was tuned in to my golden’s issues with the high temperatures and modified the route for more shade. I would seek her out again if the need arises.
We’ve been so lucky to have Jennah taking care of our pup from the time she was just 8 weeks old, all the way through her first year. Super reliable, great at keeping us updated with how the walks went (plus lots of adorable photos!). Jennah was consistent with training reinforcement, whether it was leash manners, basic commands, or working through little puppy quirks at each stage. Jennah clearly loves dogs, and genuinely treats them like her own. Highly recommend!
