Availability
I assist my local pet sitter part-time with the majority of my afternoons available, so I have a lot of space for more walks and drop-ins! I have a super flexible schedule, so I am able to come in whenever is best for you and your pets!

Safety, trust & environment
An important part of pet sitting/ walking is boundaries. I never make a pet do something they do not want to do- I instead focus on building their trust and a relationship with them! After all, new people can be scary! As a sitter and guest of a home, I will always prioritize the welfare of your home and animals. Water will ALWAYS be available (and food, if applicable), the animal’s spaces are clean, and I will always ensure that everyone is healthy and happy throughout my visitations. When I first meet an animal, I will never reach for them or attempt to touch them unless their behavior has indicated that the interaction is okay. Regardless of their body language, I will always go at the animal’s pace- that could consist of not touching them at all until they approach me or snuggling with them on the first day!
Information Fae G. would like to know about your pet
First and foremost, I need to know how your animal responds to new people- while I am very experienced with reading an animal’s body language, it’s always helpful to get a heads up before I arrive. Allergies and potential triggers for reactivity are also important for safety reasons.
A typical day
When I do drop-in visits, I love going into the backyard with the dogs and letting them show me their turf! I usually read the animal(s) to see what they’re comfortable with/what they need from me, and go from there. When I walk dogs, I always take into account the weather and the level of foot traffic in the surrounding area. If it’s the first time I’m meeting a dog, I try to avoid areas with high foot traffic for walks (in case they’re reactive) and never go on longer walks when it’s too hot.

Pet care experience
Hello! I am a local teacher who is returning to pet sitting for the summer, where I walk dogs, feed pets, do basic maintenance to litter boxes/ enclosures, and do drop-in visitations for about 30 minutes to an hour each. With nearly a decade of experience in pet care, I’ve cared for nearly every animal and personality— I can handle it all!

Reviews
Fae is amazing!! She just took care of our 15 year old cocker spaniel in July 2024. Our sweet old man can't get around like he used to because of weakness in his back legs. Fae was more than willing to carry him up and down our back patio steps so that he could do his business, feed him and then sit with him and love on him until it was time to go. She makes sure he gets his meds in his food. She just loves him like we do. I can't thank Fae enough for putting our minds at ease about who was going to take care of our sweet little man!!
Fae did a great job with our pets and plants. Our lab was a happy girl and had plenty of playtime. The cats were sociable on our return, and the plants and fish were in good shape. I highly recommend Fae and will definitely book with her again.
Fae is awesome with our 15 year old cocker spaniel. She loves him. She pays specific attention to his special needs as an older dog, like no walks, make sure he makes it up the steps from outside, etc. She makes sure he takes his meds when she feeds him. He misses her and has been looking for her since the day after she stopped coming!! He loves his Miss Fae!! Thank you, Fae, for taking care of our special little man!! ❤️
I contacted Fae with less than 48 hour notice. We got a quick response and she cared for our pets while we were away. Pets were happy and clearly well cared for. She even brought in our packages and mail without being asked. Thank you!
