All About Me

Hi! I'm Jade Oakes. I'm a passionate animal lover and plant enthusiast living here in South-East Austin, Tx. I decided to share my many years of experience with others by starting my own business caring

for pets, plants and homes, because I love them so much. 

I grew up in a home full of exotic & domestic pets and plants because my parents also had a passion for it. In fact, my family even trained and domesticated big Macaw parrots part-time because they loved working with animals too. Clients would send their parrots to live with us for 6 months to a year to have their parrots become so tame they could handle them in any way they would like; our previously wild parrots would lie like a baby in our clients arms. Because of my parents' passion for working with animals we have cared for almost every type of pet available; large salt tanks, reptiles ( snakes, turtles, chameleons, frogs ), parrots, spiders, pot-belly pig, and of course, dogs and cats. Since then I have gone on to own a few exotic pets of my own, including; Sun Conure parrot ( 15 yrs ),

Chinese Water Dragon reptile ( 13 yrs ), Red-Ear Slider turtle ( 2 yrs ), Red Corn snake ( 2 yrs )

and African/ Discus Cichlid fish tanks ( 15 yrs ).  

Currently I have five critters at home. Three dogs, a Blue Heeler, Jack-Russell terrier, and a Whippet-Chihauhau mix; all of them were rescued where I found them wandering alone in the streets and abandoned. I have two large short-haired rescued cats. And, a indoor plant collection of about 250 plants. Coming soon will be a Paludarium and a Dart frog habitat. 

That's collectively 45 yrs of pet and plant experience! This unique experience gives me an ease and comfort around animals that is hard to come by; and animals can sense it too. My confidence and experience makes even the most scared and aggressive pets feel safe and secure knowing that they are in capable hands. 

​

Caring for animals is such a special opportunity and treat for me. I would love to be your go to person to care for your extended family when you need to go out of town or if you need an extra hand.

I work especially well with difficult and special need pets. As well as advanced plant care needs and understanding.
