Hola! Meet the
Founders
We Are Jessica & Lucas !
We started Woofs & Purrs with one goal—to make pet care more loving, reliable, and personal. As lifelong animal lovers, we understand the bond between pets and their families, and we wanted to build a service that honors that connection.
Over the years, we’ve cared for hundreds of pets, learned their personalities, celebrated their milestones, and helped families feel confident knowing their furry family members are in safe hands. Today, Woofs & Purrs continues to grow, but our heart—and mission—remain the same:
Care from the heart, delivered with expertise.
