From the meet n greet to dog sitting for the week, Jordan was fantastic. She kept me up to date on the dogs daily activities, she sent many pics/videos and they looked super happy and content. She did everything as promised... It was a great experience. I felt very secure in her abilities to take care of my two 90lb dogs! I could tell my dogs loved her as well :) Thank you Jordan!~

Victoria was wonderful with Ludo. She was quick to respond and had great communication throughout, along with sending a picture update. She followed his care instructions and asked questions to clarify his puppy routine. I would be happy to book with her again and I would recommend her to anyone seeking care for their pet.

Great job with two 100+ lbs dogs who are not socialized. Came over for a meet and greet and got nipped in the hand by my precious Canary Mastiff. Didn’t faze him. Sat down and got barked at for twenty mins before the dogs chilled! Totally reliable and trustworthy service! Hoping Marcus will help again during extended vacations!!

About: I have hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician, which gave me valuable experience handling animals, recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, and assisting with daily pet care needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets who may need extra patience and attention. As someone planning to continue pursuing veterinary medicine, I truly care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive to routines and instructions, and I treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already have a flexible schedule and a strong background working with animals. I’m typically available before and after my classes/work shifts, as well as on weekends, which allows me to consistently provide morning, midday, and evening care depending on your pet’s needs. Because I previously worked as a vet tech for, I’m used to structuring my day around animal care responsibilities like feeding schedules, medication times, walks, and monitoring behavior. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, so I can easily adjust my routine to make sure each pet gets reliable, on-time care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, walk routines, and any specific behavioral or medical needs. My experience as a vet tech has helped me stay calm and observant, so I can quickly notice if something seems off with a pet’s behavior or health. I also make sure the home stays secure by double-checking doors, gates, and leashes during walks. I respect the client’s space by keeping things clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. Most importantly, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and stress-free by giving them patience, attention, and a calm presence while their owners are away.

About: “I have experience pet sitting for friends and family, along with personally raising multiple dogs over the years. I’m familiar with daily care routines like feeding, walking, cleaning up, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also cared for small animals, including a hamster, so I understand the importance of gentle handling and attention to detail. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get plenty of love, patience, and care.” “I have a pretty open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, keep up with their routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m also home in the evenings, so they’ll have consistent care throughout the day and night.” In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I have a large indoor area where pets can move around freely and comfortably, as well as a spacious back patio for supervised outdoor time. Pets will have access to regular potty breaks and exercise throughout the day, and there is a nearby dog park and walking trail for additional outdoor activity when appropriate. I provide cozy bedding, toys for enrichment, and treats (with owner approval). I also make sure pets stay on their normal feeding routine and follow any specific instructions given by the owner, including dietary needs or restrictions. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine closely to help pets feel safe and maintain consistency in their environment. My priority is always to ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: I grew up having dogs, and always had one basically my entire life. I love having dogs around, I unfortunately ended up losing my daughter/fur baby in a recent separation from my wife. Love the joy and energy that come from having dogs around. I work from home full time, and live alone, so your dog will have my full attention. I will treat your dog like my own child, I am ready to make any accommodations needed so your dog will have the best time while they are in my care. I’m flexible if you need to make any changes, just let me know. I live in a single family home that has a fenced in backyard, in a calm and quiet neighborhood. The neighborhood also has a lake to walk around the dogs around when they need to get some fresh air and activity. If I do need to leave the house your dog will not be in a crate. They will have my guest bedroom to themselves with a queen bed for them to relax and sleep on. They will also have their own bed next to mine in the master bedroom to sleep in at night.

Jessica is an amazing pet sitter. I have booked her twice now and she goes above and beyond, communicates well and regularly, and somehow leaves my home cleaner than when she arrived. 😂 She sends photos and videos often, and somehow it is always right when I’m thinking about my sweet kitty. I am very anxious when leaving my ragdoll and have felt super comfortable knowing she is with Jessica. Your pet is definitely in great hands with her!
