Pet care experience
"Pawsitively Purr-fect Care"
Effective September 2, I will no longer be accepting bookings for cats that are allowed outdoor access during the time of my sittings. This policy is being implemented to ensure the safety and well-being of the cats in my care. As an avid animal lover with 17 years experience off rover and a heart dedicated to caring for those in need, my journey in pet care has been deeply enriched by my experiences with the local animal shelter. Through fostering dogs of all breeds and backgrounds, I've witnessed the transformative power of love and patience in helping them thrive and find their forever homes. However, it was a particularly memorable chapter when my family and I opened our doors to 12 abandoned kittens discovered near a lake house. Together, we provided round-the-clock care, nurturing each tiny feline back to health and happiness. These experiences have not only reinforced my commitment to animal welfare but have also filled my life with immeasurable joy and fulfillment. In every wag of a tail and gentle purr, I find the true essence of pet care – a journey of compassion, empathy, and boundless love. When I was 12, I started looking after my neighbor's black Lab. He'd get real sad when his family left, so they asked me to keep him company. We became best buds, playing fetch and going for walks. Later on, they got another pup, and I took care of him too. It was awesome seeing them happy and knowing I could make a difference. Taking care of those dogs taught me how much joy animals bring and how important it is to be there for them. My pet care experience has been incredibly diverse, ranging from caring for chickens to tending to cockatiels and rabbits. With chickens, I learned the importance of providing a safe and comfortable coop environment, ensuring they have access to fresh water, nutritious feed, and ample space to roam and forage. Cockatiels require attention to their social needs, including regular interaction, mental stimulation, and a varied diet rich in seeds, fruits, and vegetables. Additionally, maintaining a clean cage and providing opportunities for flight and playtime are essential for their well-being. Rabbits thrive on a diet of hay, fresh vegetables, and pellets, alongside a spacious enclosure enriched with toys and tunnels for exercise and mental stimulation. Each species has taught me valuable lessons in animal husbandry, patience, and the unique joys of caring for our feathered and furry friends.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When entrusted with the responsibility of dog or cat sitting at a client's house, creating a safe and trusting environment is paramount. I begin by familiarizing myself with the pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs they may have. Establishing a consistent schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime helps maintain stability and comfort for the pet in their familiar surroundings. I ensure the home environment is secure by double-checking doors, windows, and any potential hazards. Building trust with the pet is essential, so I approach them calmly, using positive reinforcement techniques and respecting their boundaries. Regular communication with the pet owner, providing updates and photos, helps reassure them that their furry friend is in good hands. By prioritizing safety, consistency, and communication, I strive to create a nurturing and dependable environment where pets feel secure and loved in their owner's absence.

From lively games of fetch and tug of war to the thrill of hide and seek with toys or treats, the possibilities for bonding and amusement are endless. Whether your companion craves belly rubs, gentle pets, or simply cozy cuddles, every interaction is an opportunity to deepen our connection and share moments of joy. Each activity is tailored to your pet's preferences, ensuring that every moment is filled with laughter, affection, and cherished memories.
