I'm a pet portrait artist and caring for dogs and cats provides the perfect and refreshing break times in my day. (Essencepetportraits dot com...if you'd like to see!) I'm available to do overnight sits and sometimes longer stays, as well. Because of the nature of what I do I have the option to spend time in the home I'm sitting. As a pet sitter with over 20 years of experience, I know how to give your pup, cat, or other critter the love and care they need while you’re away. Though I don't have my own animals at the moment, I have almost always owned cats and dogs — and sometimes little furry rodents. I love dog's unique personalities and loving nature. I love their companionship and eagerness to be with others. I started pet sitting over 20 years ago — I started sitting for my housecleaning clients, and found it very rewarding. I regularly care for cats and dogs and love all other animals, as well. They are all adorable and I love caring for all of them. Cats have so much personality and are usually very loving. I have also cared for some birds and I especially love the ones who dance when you sing to them. Clients love that I respond promptly — I’m available for questions and correspondence while your sweet critter is in my care. I send lots of updates and photos so you can feel relaxed about your dear pet while you’re away. If I have any questions, I’m quick to ask — it’s important that I provide the best care possible. 🐈If you contact me to book and I I'm in the mountains camping, I won't respond immediately but will within 24hrs!🐶
