Experienced, Calm Care for Your Pet
I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs & cats, with a special place in my heart for anxious, senior, and routine-dependent pets. I know how important it is to have a sitter who is patient, observant, reliable, and willing to follow your pet’s normal routine closely. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, caring for senior pets, reinforcing basic commands, and adapting walks, play, and enrichment to each animal’s energy level and personality. I especially enjoy working with pets who need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet beforehand so we can go over routines, medications, quirks, triggers, and anything else that will help your pet feel safe while you’re away. You can also expect consistent communication, plenty of photos, and detailed updates throughout the stay.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Esther is an amazing Pet Sitter. She took outstanding care of our dog and communicated well. I highly recommend Esther!
Esther is so amazing. Excellent communication. So warm and waonderful. I think my dog may have been sad to see me return.
We have two cats and honestly weren’t sure what to expect but she was phenomenal. Super communicative, sent the cutest updates every day and left our home spotless. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, it’s not just a job for her. Our cats were calm and happy when we got back which never happens! 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
I have a 13 year old dog who requires daily medication and I was really struggling to find someone I trusted. She handled everything perfectly and followed his medication schedule, kept his routine intact and treated him like her own. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog which says everything. Truly one of a kind sitter.
We were so nervous leaving our anxious rescue dog for the first time but she was absolutely amazing. She did a meet and greet beforehand which instantly put us at ease, and from day one she followed Biscuit’s routine perfectly. The photo updates were constant and honestly made our vacation so much more enjoyable. We’ve already booked her again!

Schedule
My schedule allows me to provide plenty of dedicated time for walks, meals, play, enrichment, and companionship. I keep my Rover calendar updated so my availability is accurate, and I’m always upfront about any periods when I’ll need to be away from your pet. I’m happy to work around established feeding, medication, potty, and exercise routines whenever possible. You can also expect regular photo updates throughout your booking.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and routine come first. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking guidelines, household rules, and any precautions you provide. I also want to know about escape behaviors, reactivity, resource guarding, allergies, medical concerns, and emergency contacts before a stay. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as familiar and low-stress as possible while you’re away.
A typical day
While there really isn’t just one typical day, I always try to match the routine your pet already knows. For an active dog, that might mean walks, sniffing time, play, enrichment, and practicing basic commands. For a senior or anxious pet, it may mean shorter outings, a slower pace, lots of reassurance, and quiet companionship. I love incorporating enrichment like sniff walks, puzzle toys, fetch, and short training sessions when appropriate. And if your pet’s favorite activity is simply curling up on the couch together, I’m very good at that too. You’ll receive regular photos and updates so you always know how they’re doing.

- Before a booking, I’d love to know about your pet’s: • Normal feeding, potty, sleep, and exercise routine • Personality and energy level • Medications or medical needs • Allergies or dietary restrictions • Fears, triggers, reactivity, or separation anxiety • Crate routine and how long they’re normally comfortable alone • Favorite toys, treats, walks, and activities • Behavior around other animals and people • Veterinarian and emergency contact information The more I know beforehand, the better I can keep your pet’s experience safe, comfortable, and familiar.
