Hi there! My name is Haley and I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of professional and personal pet care experience. I work from home and have a completely flexible schedule, so your furry family members will get all the time, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. My journey with animals started in middle school when I began volunteering with the SPCA, Richmond Animal League, and private animal rescues. Since then, I’ve dedicated much of my time to working with animals—whether it’s fostering kittens, caring for puppies, or giving older pets the love and attention they need. Here’s why I’m the perfect sitter for your pet: Diverse Animal Experience: I’ve owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, including cats, an American Staffordshire Terrier, parakeets, fish, hamsters, and even rats. I’m comfortable handling pets with unique needs or quirky personalities! Hands-On Expertise: As a foster caregiver, I’ve bottle-fed kittens, socialized shy pets, and cared for animals recovering from illness or surgery. I understand the importance of patience and individualized attention. Work-from-Home Flexibility: Being home all day means I can provide frequent check-ins, cuddles, walks, and playtime for your pet. No need to worry about long stretches alone! Pet Safety First: I have a calm, confident approach to animal care, and I’m familiar with handling emergencies, administering medications, and understanding pet body language to keep your pet happy and safe. Customized Care: Whether your pet needs extra exercise, lots of snuggles, or a calm environment to relax, I’m here to provide personalized care tailored to their unique needs. I currently share my home with three wonderful cats and have plenty of experience managing multi-pet households. Whether it’s dogs, cats, small animals, or anything in between, you can count on me to treat your pet like family. When you book with me, you can expect frequent updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!
