Professional Petsitting with Care

I do drop-ins in your home. I have owned dogs and cats continuously since childhood, including fostering litters of kittens and senior pets. I started pet sitting for neighbors at 9 years old and continued that practice throughout my adulthood. I have taken classes with a dog trainer experienced in handling reactive dogs and multi-dog households who utilizes positive reinforcement and no-pain training. I maintain a happy clowder of 8 cats and 2 dogs in my home and I bring my experience from that to my clients' homes. I am capable of managing medical and special needs animals, including oral medicine administration, injections, and special diets. I have cared for kittens and puppies all the way to seniors. I have some experience and am familiar with drop-ins for birds. Feel free to express any special requests.

Safety, trust & environment

For dogs, I'll play with their favorite toy, fetch, or walks. I'll make sure to schedule water breaks for any outdoor activities. And if that's not their speed, I am good with chilling together and giving plenty of pets. Let me know any commands or hand signals ahead of time and I'll make sure to use them to maintain consistency. I have 8 indoor cats, so I am familiar with being quick about going in and out of doors and not leaving escape exits.For cats, I like to play/hunt before meal time to meet their instinctual needs. I understand cats can be shy and will go at their pace with getting to know eachother. If they're feeling up for it, I'll cuddle and chill with them, or have a conversation. I clean litterboxes daily and will watch dogs to potty to make sure ins and outs are normal. Photos of food and water levels will be provided so you can, also monitor while away.

As always, Ayden, has been a superb sitter for our cat and a new kitten! They both loved him! Ayden always accounted for their eating habits. He always changed his waters, and cleaned their litter boxes. He always inquired and clarified if there were any questions. We appreciated how easy it is to communicate with Ayden. We hope he continues to sit our pets!!!

We plan to use Ayden again as Ayden did everything we requested and really took a liking with our cats. They are already social though they hopped up on Ayden’s back on the last day which they don’t get that friendly with our family and friends. Within 10 days was able to break that barrier.
