About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve looked after everything from energetic dogs who love adventure and playtime to senior pets who need a gentler pace, extra patience, and close attention to routines and comfort. I also previously owned and operated my own pet sitting business for several years, where I built trusted relationships with pet owners and provided dependable in-home care for their pets and houses. I eventually closed the business to help my sister run her company full time, but I never stopped pet sitting. Since then, I’ve continued caring for pets on the side because it’s something I genuinely love and find deeply fulfilling. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medications, overnight care, companionship, litter box maintenance, basic grooming support, and maintaining consistent routines to help pets feel secure while their owners are away. I understand how important communication and trust are, so I always aim to provide thoughtful updates and attentive care that gives owners real peace of mind. Along with pet care, I’m highly respectful of people’s homes and take pride in leaving spaces clean, organized, and well cared for. I’m dependable, communicative, calm under pressure, and genuinely attentive to the little details that make a difference. For me, great pet sitting is about creating a safe, loving, low stress environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for until their people return. "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." Anatole France​ I work remotely full-time, which allows me to provide pets with lots of companionship, supervision, and consistency throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate walks, feeding routines, playtime, medications, and cuddle breaks as needed. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I naturally build pet care into my daily routine rather than treating it like a task to check off. I have over 30 years of experience caring for animals and previously owned my own pet sitting business, so safety, communication, and trust are extremely important to me. I’m very attentive to routines, behavior changes, medications, and household instructions, and I always aim to create a calm, loving, low-stress environment for pets while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and care, keep spaces clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

Despite having a personal emergency at the start of the pet sitting booking, Hannah was still able to take care of my dog. I can tell she is a true animal lover and sent great picture updates of my dog eating, cuddling, and going on walks. My dog was very happy to see her and my pup's needs seem well taken care of upon my return.

Zana watched our two dogs and cat for a week and we are thrilled with our experience. Zana was extremely communicative and sent great pictures along with the updates. Our elder dog got sick and Zana was a champ handling some unexpected cleanup duty, leaving our house nice and clean. We sincerely hope we can rebook Zana the next time we leave town.

Michael was incredibly kind and patient with our high-anxiety mini-poodle. He spent extra time getting to know our dog ahead of the stay, provided photos (album-worthy pictures!) and updates, and left our house in spotless condition. Five stars! We will absolutely hire Michael the next time we travel.

Jeff has already been a great dog and house sitter for our neighbors and now we are glad to use his services. He checked in with us and made sure we knew the dogs were being taken care of and he was responsive to request to check on things around the house when it stormed while we were away. He did a nice job tidying up. Jeff also communicated well before our departure to clarify different things.

SJ is outstanding. He goes above and beyond. I had not been away in 6 months and SJ stayed overnight with Julietta and I knew that he would talk with her , engage her. I was updated with photos and reports and was certain that SJ was able to handle anything that required maturity and experience.

We rank Zach as #1 for housesitting, dog and cat care. Absolutely prefect! Even our reactive dogs immediately felt comfortable with him. They were instantly comfortable and warm. When we came home, they had zero signs of stress, just relaxed happiness. Our cat usually won't come out for visitors at all, just hides in the basement. She was out purring around Zach almost immediately. Must be an aura of something. Great, twice daily communication. 100% reliable. Incredible value for money. We're booking him for our next trip away right now!
