I would book her for pet sitting again without hesitation.”

About: T.ender L.oving C.are of your babies while you are away: long or short-term, drop-ins, one-time, or regular care. Overnights, daily, weekly, monthly, anxiety issues, senior care, special needs — all okay! I’ve had cats, dogs, and fish since I was young. I also have previous veterinary and emergency veterinary assistant experience. I’m an experienced aquarist, plant and garden caregiver, and have hand-raised baby birds. I adore fish, guinea pigs, chickens, reptiles and amphibians too, so no worries if you have multiple pets because I take excellent care of them all! My own babies include: Hestia my newest adopted kitty, a chihuahua named Kiwi, 6 pond goldfish, 4 chickens, a bunch of plants, and I dabble in aquaponics (growing fish and plants together). I’m mature, responsible, detailed, and trustworthy. Taking clients now until my schedule is filled. Hope to see you soon! Feeding, care, play, and love — all day every day! We’ll probably listen to some music and do some howling too! We’ll take field trips to the beach as often as possible. HOUSE SITTING: I have deep respect for my client’s pets and home as I am also a property owner and property manager. I’m mature and professional and I listen carefully to important client instructions. I assure excellent care. ONSITE: 4 apartments formerly Airbnb rentals now used as pet accommodations — and a huge, fenced in backyard. We have lots of room for plenty of pets that won’t be in contact with one another (so no worries about getting along with others). All pets must have current vaccinations and must be on prescription flea/tic meds.
16. Laura M.
“Laura was amazing with our pets! She kept ups notified and followed all of our instructions as well as kept the house as clean as we left it. Will definitely book with Laura again.”
17. Charlotte C.

18. Chad S.
“Chad watched over our golden retriever for drop-in visits. He was right on time and spent time with her taking her on walks and playing ball. He always sent a picture of her at each visit. She loves Chad and we can’t wait to try boarding her with him next time.”
