Aung's love for animals started early. He had his first pet at seven years old, and his desire to be around animals grew with every dog he encountered. He also spent a lot of time with his cousin's four dogs in Myanmar, which further deepened his connection to them.

During his university years, Aung had a Labrador who became his close companion for seven years. Through caring for her, he truly experienced the deep bond and joy that come with being responsible for an animal’s well-being.

After moving to Seattle in 2024, Aung reconnected with his passion for working with pets. He’s cared for his brother’s two cats and began volunteering as a dog walker at Burien CARES in early 2025, gaining experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments.

Originally from Myanmar, Aung is now pursuing a long-term career in pet care. His calm presence, gentle approach, and genuine affection for animals shine through in every walk, cuddle, and visit.

Jessica is a life long animal lover and wildlife enthusiast. With over 10 years in pet care and almost as long in wildlife rescue and education, there are very few animals she can’t handle! Although today she “only” has three cats, four snakes and two geckos, Jessica has extensive experience in caring for birds, reptiles, and other exotic animals as well as the much more common cats and dogs.

Prior to her recent move to Washington, Jessica ran a non-profit wildlife rescue and education service as well as a small hobby farm raising chickens and sheep. On a given day, she may have had up to 80 animals in care at one time! By comparison, having only nine animals to care for now is a huge relief! 

While these certainly aren’t your typical pets, Jessica’s favorite animals to work with are birds of prey and she has training in handling dangerous reptiles. Basically, “I have worked with pretty much all animals you can legally keep as well as a lot that you can’t!”
