About: My whole life has been about loving gardening and animals! I've had Dogs, Cats, Birds and Cattle. I was very hands-on with all of them, from babies until their final days. I learned to groom our Poodle at age 12. Groomed my mother's Cocker Spaniel, as well as my Miniature Schnauzer, Zucker. He was my Empty Nest Medicine! My last, was my Basset Hound, Carlie, who was an absolute mess! Girl with an attitude and kept me laughing with her funny ways. Spinner was my last cat, who loved seeing a brush in my hand! I can't think of them for very long, without tears coming. I miss them all. My Cows were my greatest teachers that loved me through proving to myself that I wasn't crazy. They will listen. They meet in the middle. And their eyes always dig deep into your heart, just as any fur baby. I have Animal Health Tech experience. I've assisted with birthing dogs, cats and cattle. Familiar with administering meds, etc. And puppy massages for a little relief of arthritis have been one my fur babies always enjoyed! I'm actually making a transition from my current side job, hoping to switch over to strictly pet sitting. I receive early Social Security. So, my current work schedule is very flexible. I'm not able to have pets of my own, at this time. But don't get me wrong! I'm praying for the day I move into a home I own, so I can bring more unconditional love energy into my personal environment, once again! What better way to mend a yearning heart in the meantime, than to share what love and care I can give to your fur baby(ies), anytime you need someone to fill in for you!

11. Rebecca H.
“For as long as I have known Beccy, she has been working with and caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and species! She is amazingly patient and very intuitive to the needs and wants of all sorts of pets and wildlife, and knows how to keep a kitty purrfectly happy or a dog’s tail wagging. Your pet would be lucky to meet her!”

“Becca watched my two cats and one dog while I was away for about 6 days. She came over multiple times each day to play with them and watch my dog.

17. Angelise G.
“Angelise was fantastic! She is so good with the cats and the house. We felt so comfortable with her house sitting so we could enjoy our vacation. Not only did she do what we asked but went above and beyond in every way. We will definitely call her next time we need someone to cat/house sit!”
