Pet care experience

Lover, caretaker of furry babies!

Hi! I’m Esther - a lifelong animal lover who’s raised dogs from high school through adulthood and now has a pup of my own. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone new, and I care for every pet with the same patience, gentleness, and consistency I give my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and little quirks - from shy rescues to playful puppies to senior sweethearts who need extra support. I’m attentive to animal body language and emotional needs, and I always take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and cleanliness are extremely important to me. I always refresh water bowls, follow feeding routines closely, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. If you let me know where your trash can and cleaning supplies are, I’m more than happy to clean up any little “oopsies.” I can also vacuum or sweep up any litter that adventurous kitties might track around - whatever helps keep your home tidy and your pets comfortable. I also keep a close eye on pets at all times and send updates, photos, or videos so you always feel connected and at ease while you’re away.

Esther has dropped in on my cat Pablo every time I’ve gone out of town for the past few months and she’s the best! She’s communicative, provides great and detailed updates and really cares about making sure he’s happy!

She did a great job taking care of our little buddy while we were out of town. Very prompt communication with us and came home to a very happy cat. Highly recommended!

It left me with such a feeling of comfort and confidence having Esther drop in on my cats during the holidays. She was so communicative and caring! I’d recommend Esther to anybody needing someone to take care of their pet!

Esther took GREAT care of my cats. Usually I’m cautious about who I’ve left them with due to bad experiences, but Esther totally calmed my fears.

Esther was clear and communicative with me sending updates and photos as asked. She was also patient and kind with my scaredy cat.

Esther is a wonderful dog sitter/walker. She loves animals and they love her back! She is always on time and very responsible. Would recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Schedule

I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can reliably drop in throughout the day - rain or shine - to keep your pet’s routine consistent. Whether your fur baby needs walks, meals, medication, enrichment time, or just extra cuddles, I’m happy to tailor my care to exactly what they need.

Please let me know if there are any special needs that your pet might have or things to look out for when looking after your pets. I genuinely love caring for animals, and I’d be honored to look after yours. Just reach out - I can’t wait to meet your little one :)
