Animal Lover & Professional Sitter

Pet care experience

I have been around animals my entire life; I basically grew up in a zoo. I have consistently sat for friends and family while they were out of town since I was 16, volunteered in animal shelters in high school, was a veterinary kennel tech, and pet sat professionally through college and after graduation. I have taken care of nearly every breed of dog, cat, and exotic pet under the sun.

Faith did such an amazing job taking care of our two kitties while we were on vacation. They are attentive, reliable and most importantly, they are amazing with our cats! It’s so great to have them to rely on! 10/10 highly recommend! Thanks Faith!!

Faith stayed at my house to care for my old cat Waffles and was very professional. I felt comfortable leaving and would definitely recommend!

Faith is a phenomenal cat and house sitter!! They were able to win over our extremely shy cat, Kiki, pretty much immediately. Kiki even asked for belly rubs! Beyond Faith’s gift for connecting with kitties, they were very punctual, inquired about & followed our kitties daily routines and took great care of our house and plants while we were gone for 8 days. It’s a huge relief to know my cats are safe and loved while we are out of town. We look forward to being repeat customers!

Faith did a fantastic job with the babies. I felt very good leaving them in her hands while I had an opportunity to go and enjoy myself. I would recommend Faith again if you're looking for a good pet sitter Thx again for everything

Safety, trust & environment

Your babies won't have to go anywhere, I can come to you! Neither you nor your pet will have to stress over travel or travel arrangements. I can drop in to spend time with and care for them in the spaces where they're most comfortable, whether that be for short visits, walks, or overnight stays.

Information Faith V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any specific or special needs your pets may have, such as diet restrictions, allergies, medication and medical conditions, obedience commands,favorite toys or activities, important behavior notes or cues, etc, so that I can give them the best and safest experience while I am with them.

A typical day

Enrichment is essential for any pet's well being. For dogs, if they are able, a good walk and play time is a must, with plenty of love and encouragement all around (and maybe a snack if the humans say its okay:) ). I love to provide things like puzzles, hide and seek with treats, and sensation enrichment with toys and other tools for them. I happily do the same with cats. I let them get acquainted with me first, and earn their trust, and enrich them with toys, games and puzzles they find enjoyable. If physical activity isn't something they can do, I sit with them with a nature documentary or an animal live stream to still give them some visual entertainment if they want it (it's always been a big hit with my cats). And everyone gets plenty of love and affection throughout.
