Total Care for Your Furry Family!

Pet care experience

What I offer: * True care and love for your pet * Any time, any day or night, including holidays and weekends * Regular daily visits * short walks and outdoor playtime * Cat cuddling and cleaning * Visits during vacations with home security checks * Overnight sitting in your home * Keep your pet on a normal routine * Brushing and medication administered * Poop scooping for all types of pets * Care for all types of smaller pets * Reports given after each daily visit * References available upon request Hawthorn has had a passion for animals since they were a child, she was always taking in a stray or nursing an animal back to health. They have experience caring for rats, guinea pigs, other rodents, hedgehogs, rabbits, reptiles, horses, fish, as well as dogs and cats! She is an experienced pet sitter in your home, and comfortable administering medication. They always use positive behavior reinforcement. When you go away and want to keep your pets comfortably at home instead of leaving them at an unfamiliar, noisy kennel, hiring a professional pet sitter is the best choice. She will also bathe and administer medication, if necessary. For overnight visits at YOUR home, they will bring in your mail and paper, adjust blinds and lights, take out trash and recycling and water your plants, water the lawn/flowers. No need to worry about leaving the house unattended -she'll take care of it! Whatever you need, they will keep your pet safe and happy while you're away! Hawthorn is trustworthy and safe and can provide a list of references upon request. I require meet and greets before hand for animals with special medical or behavioral needs, dogs over 30lbs, and sitting for a home with more than one animal.

Nina seemed to be very comfortable with Hawthorn and the stay happened without a problem that I was aware of. Nina was a new rescue so it was important that she stay in her own "new" environment. Only thing I would have been better is if I had heard from him and then not need to call myself. Would definitely hope to have him take care of Nina again

I would highly recommend Hawthorn as a dog sitter next time you are out of town. Hawthorn is incredibly reliable and truly cared about Cheese's well being. Cheese is aggressive when he first meets new people because he was abused; so Hawthorn made special accommodations and met Cheese twice before booking our stay to ensure Cheese was comfortable with him. Hawthorn also stayed in constant contact with me by sending me daily updates and photos.

Hawthorn was great with my cat Dexter! He knew how to approach shy cats and took the time to let my cat warm up to him. I highly recommend Hawthorn the next time you're going out of town and need someone to check in your cat.

I'm so glad you were able to watch Bacon for us while you were in Portland. I am so thankful to have someone in our home that we can trust! Bacon is like a baby to us and when we got home we could tell that he enjoyed the company.
