Snaggle Foot franchise owner Jamie Lesko, a native of upstate New York, has long been involved with animal rescue organizations and is the proud adoptive parent of three abandoned rescue dogs: two Bassett Hounds named Jasper and Rascal, and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Molly.

Nine years ago, Jamie and her husband Al made the trek from the east coast to Oregon’s Rogue Valley to enjoy the numerous outdoor activities and take advantage of the beautiful surroundings of Southern Oregon. Jamie worked many years as an office receptionist before deciding to work in a veterinary office: a job that would allow her to be surrounded by the animals that she cares so much for.

During her time working at the veterinary office, Jamie realized that she was gaining valuable experience in animal caretaking, and decided she wanted to take her love for animals and experience to the next level. So when she and her husband Al discovered Snaggle Foot’s Pet Sitting franchise, she knew that running her own pet care business would be a perfect career choice for her. Jamie views all of her clients’ pets as an extension of her family unit and are treated as such. In working in coordination with local animal shelters, she supports each one when it comes to finding permanent and loving homes for rescued animals.

In her spare time, Jamie enjoys fly fishing, boating, and taking in the abundance of outdoor activities near their home. Both her and Al are avid New York Yankees fans.
