Loving Pet Sitter You Can Count On!

I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. When I was 4, my family got a dog who quickly became my best friend. For the next 15 years, I was deeply involved in her care—feeding her, taking her on walks, playing with her, and doing everything I could to keep her happy and healthy. As she got older, I also learned how to administer medication and provide extra love and patience during her senior years. In addition to my own dog, I’ve pet-sat for neighbors while they were on vacation, giving me the chance to care for dogs with different personalities and needs. I also recently adopted a cat, which has given me even more experience with animals of different care routines. On top of that, I grew up raising chickens and ducks, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience, genuine love for animals, and dedication to making every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

Claudia was such a great sitter! One of my dogs gets nervous around strangers but she made him feel at ease and comfortable during the time we were away. She sent daily updates and pictures which was nice to know they were safe and having a good time. She is very kind and understanding.

Claudia was great. Brando really liked her and she was good with the three cats, too. Very prompt and polite. We will use her again if she's available.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m pet sitting, whether it's for a dog, cat, or any other furry friend, my top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I want both you and your pet to have the best possible experience. I believe a meet-and-greet beforehand is super helpful for building trust, getting to know your pet’s personality, and making sure everyone feels comfortable. In your home or mine, I stick closely to your instructions, especially when it comes to feeding times, portion sizes, and any special dietary or medical needs. For dogs, regular walks, bathroom breaks, and playtime are a must. For cats, I make sure they have clean litter, food and water refilled regularly, and attention based on their comfort level, whether that means cuddles or giving them space. I also keep the environment clean, calm, and pet-friendly at all times. And of course, I’ll send you regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and stress-free environment for your pet and peace of mind for you!

A typical day

A typical day with me is full of fun, attention, and care tailored to your pet’s personality and needs! I love to keep dogs active and engaged, whether that means going on walks around the neighborhood, visiting a nearby trail or pet-friendly park, or just letting them explore new sights and smells in a safe environment. I enjoy playing interactive games like fetch, tug-of-war, or even mental stimulation games like treat puzzles or simple training exercises to keep their brains working and tails wagging. If your pet prefers a more relaxed vibe, we’ll hang out, cuddle, or just enjoy each other’s company while I make sure all their needs are met with fresh water, timely meals, clean-up, and lots of love. For cats, I’ll play with toys they enjoy, give them the space or attention they need, and keep their routines consistent so they feel secure. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a calm cat, my goal is to make every day safe, fun, and full of affection. I treat every pet like my own and want them to feel excited and happy whenever I’m around!

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know as much as possible to make sure I can give them the best care! Things like their daily routine, feeding schedule, energy level, favorite activities, and any quirks or habits are super helpful. I also want to know if they have any medical needs, allergies, or medications, as well as how they do around other animals and new people. It’s also great to know what comforts them, like favorite toys, words they recognize, or calming strategies you use if they get anxious. The more I know upfront, the better I can make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home while you're away!
