HOUSESITTING: If you'd like housesitting for your pet, I take it extra seriously. Not only are you entrusting me with your pet, but also your home, and everything I do is to make sure you are comfortable knowing both are looked after to the best of my ability. I don't take the responsibility lightly and I make sure every home that I watch is left the same if not better than when I arrived. I diligently clean up after myself and I always respect people's privacy. I keep to common areas within the home as well as my designated sleep area, only going in other places if absolutely necessary and alerting you beforehand. Also, I am both certified in Pet First Aid through the Red Cross and hold my own Pet Care Insurance so in the event something unforeseen were to happen, rest assured, I am prepared. You'll get at least two updates each day of your pet (morning and night) with a little summary of the main mood of how things are going ("indoor snuggle time," "a great outdoorsy day," etc). You'll be notified with any issue, big or small, and kept aware of changes should there be a problem. I have watched sick and frail pets before and kept owners in the loop with changes in potty patterns and energy levels. All in all, your pet will be loved and cherished throughout their watch. ***Please note- housesitting consists of overnight stay along with two to three 30-45 minute drop-ins to feed, walk, and play. I rarely ever leave when housesitting, but just in case I have errands to run or an appointment to get too, I need to know for how long a pet can be left alone. ***FOR HOUSESITTING STAYS A WEEK OR LONGER: I offer standard full house cleaning services that include: mopping, vacuuming, dusting, bathroom/kitchen clean-up, bedrooms, appliance deep-clean, and laundry (if you have your own washer/dryer) for an added fee. *** EXTRA CARE HOUSESITTING: Some pets require a smidge extra care and cannot be left for more than 4 hours at a time. Whether it be for medical needs, mild separation anxiety, they need more than 3 walks per day, or are untrained/have behavioral issues, I am willing and experienced in providing whatever will make both you and your pet comfortable. Please note, due to more time and planning, this type of housesitting will require an added $40/day fee to accommodate for the extra care required for your pet. CONSTANT CARE HOUSESITTING: For an extra special care pet (i.e. high medical needs, cannot be left and needs constant supervision, elderly accommodation, severe separation anxiety), the fee for housesitting that individual pet will be twice the regular rate to compensate for time in round the clock extra care and loss of additional work, as I make these clients top priority and block out my calendar so I do not take on any other clients or appointments during the sitting dates. Your pet will have my full attention to their needs and updates will be as constant as you’d like. I have years of experience caring for special needs pets that need constant supervision due to medical issues and anxiety. I understand how uneasy it is to leave them behind and not know what is happening with them, so however many updates you need from me, let me know. You and your pet's comfort are my top priority. DROP-INS AND WALKS: I treat drop-ins and walks as a fun visit from a friend for your pet. Whether we're walking the neighborhood or hanging out in the living room, your pet will have the physical and mental exercise they need to calm their energy through the day. Approved treats will be given and they'll be cleaned up after and cuddled to their heart's desire. Pets will NEVER be off-leash to ensure safety. BOARDING AND DAYCARE: My home is full of warmth and love and my husband and kids treat every animal as if they're part of our family. We have a fenced in yard to play in and a comfy couch to watch movies and come down for the night. My husband is active in playing with the animals, while my daughters and I love cuddling and babying them. My cat, Leroy, is incredibly sweet and has been around other animals without issue, often seen wanting to be friends but keeping a distance first to make sure everyone is comfortable. Animals are allowed on the couches, beds, and will have their own special corner to relax in if they wish.
