Caring Compassionate Animal Lovers
Pet care experience
Hello! We are Erica and Ignatius, professional pet sitters and lifelong animal lovers. We have 10 years of experience pet sitting, with 5 of those being together as a duo! We both grew up with many pets and enjoy the positivity they bring into our lives. I grew up with 5 dogs, 2 cats, chickens and my mom had a dog grooming business for several years. I am incredibly comfortable around all types of animals and have a deep love for them. Ignatius grew up on a rural farm in New Hampshire, with a dog, 2 cats, pigs, chickens and goats. Animals always love him because of his gentle and joyous spirit. We have experience with a large array of animals including: big and little dogs, senior pets, puppies, kittens, high energy pets, reptiles, cats, fish, farm animals, bunnies and more! We also have experience administering medication.

Reviews
Erica and Ignatius watched my kitty for 3 weeks. Erica was responsive before and during the stay, and since they were local, they stopped in to meet my kitty and get a quick tour before the official sit date. Erica checked in several times during the stay with updates and pictures of my kitty and they left my house in great shape. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them care for my kitty again!
Erica and Ignatius were absolutely lovely. They very communicative, caring, and left our hearts and souls at ease right away. Our pets bonded with them and felt loved and cared for. Our house was impeccable upon our return, too! Their energy was sweet and positive the entire time through, and we would not hesitate to trust them with our home and fur babies again.
Erica and Ignatius took excellent care of our very active 9 month old Border Collie, taking her on long trips to the beach and the park to keep her happy. They took good care of our house and it was spotless upon our return. We were insistent about meeting up a couple of times before the sit to feel comfortable with leaving them with our home and energetic puppy, and we found them to be mature and thoughtful. Would definitely recommend them!
Erica and Ignatius were awesome! We returned from our trip to a spotless home and a very happy dog. They are good communicators and very self sufficient. We also have a substantial garden they cared for, and our tomatoes loved Erica and Ignatius too! We highly recommend them for pet and home care!
