Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet is my priority
I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a wide range of ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs. Everything from individual pets to large multi-pet households. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs and cats, large and active breeds, shy or anxious pets, separation anxiety, medication routines, and animals that need extra patience, exercise, enrichment, or companionship. I’m confident managing homes where several pets have different feeding schedules, personalities, and routines, and I anlways adapt my care to the individual animal. Animals are also a huge part of my everyday life. At home, I have two dogs and seven rescue cats, along with two horses, a miniature donkey, and chickens. My broader animal-care background also includes experience with birds, reptiles, fish, and farm animals, along with extensive plant care. Caring for such a wide variety of animals has made being observant, organized, and attentive to the little details second nature to me. My background also includes an advanced college-level Animal Science course and a Veterinary Medicine course, both completed with an A+ average. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and subcutaneous injections when provided with clear instructions. I also worked for two years as the head equine manager at a therapy barn and have trained horses for five years. That experience taught me to stay calm and confident, read body language carefully, recognize subtle signs of stress or discomfort, and adjust my handling to the animal in front of me. When you leave your pets with me I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without worrying about what is happening at home. I follow feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions closely, send regular photos and updates, and make an effort to keep your pets’ routine as normal as possible. I also take caring for your home seriously and keep pet areas and the home clean and organized. Detailed instructions and multi-step routines don’t overwhelm me. Having the information I need to care for your pets exactly the way you want is my priority. Animals have always been a major part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each animal’s individual personality and earning their trust. Some pets want lots of playtime and activity, while others are happiest with quiet companionship or need a little extra patience before they feel comfortable with someone new. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel safe, understood, happy, and very well loved until their family comes home.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, consistency, and communication are my top priorities. Every pet has different needs, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, exercise requirements, medications, and any special instructions before care begins. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, multi-pet households, separation anxiety, oral medications, and subcutaneous injections. During house sitting, I stay offer to stay overnight and spend as much time as possible with your pets, only leaving when necessary for classes, work, errands, or other commitments. I am happy to bring in mail and packages, water plants, take out trash, and help maintain your home while you’re away. I provide regular photo updates and communication so you always know how your pets are doing. I treat every home with respect and strive to leave it exactly as I found it. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, senior, medically involved, or simply has a detailed routine, I am committed to providing patient, attentive, and reliable care.
Ratings and reviews
Great communication. Gave a lot of love to my pup.
Addison was absolutely wonderful! She came and let out my golden doodle Charlie for a last minute trip out of town. She went above and beyond making sure he had a walk/exercise. She came and met Charlie before the visit time, which made us all more comfortable! I will definitely ask her to watch him again :)
Addison was absolutely amazing with our three dogs! She took them all on walks and updated me throughout our entire trip! I would highly recommend her!
My goodness, I just cannot say enough about our experience with using Addison as an overnight pet sitter! She is so communicative and sent us so many pictures of our kitty enjoying Addison's copious attention. Our cat does not quickly warm up to people and I fully expected her to hide the whole time we were gone. I was so pleasantly surprised to see that our kitty was so happy and content ☺️ And, to top it all off, kitty threw up her food with a hairball on our comforter (sometimes she does that😉). Addison washed our bedding and remade our bed for us as well as sweeping up all the normal hair and wiping down the counters. How nice to come home to a fresh, clean house. And that we could just fall into our clean bed! Addison is by far the best pet sitter/house sitter we have ever had and I'll be sure to book her again when we need another sitter ❤️
Addison did a wonderful job taking care of our two big pups. She clearly loves animals and made sure our dogs were well taken care of and loved in our absence. She also had great communication and left our home in wonderful shape. Would highly recommend Addison!
We can't say enough good things about Addison! She stepped in at the last minute, did a thorough meet-and-greet, and followed all of our instructions to a T. Her commitment is unbelievable—she actually broke her hand and still made it a priority to show up for every scheduled visit. Our house and yard were left super clean, and our dogs had the best time with her. Addison is amazing!
