Hello!! I would gladly like to pet sit for you! I do believe in letting pets remain in their own environment to reduce stress while the family is away is VERY important. Keeping their schedule as normal as possible is my goal! Of course they will get some extra loving and attention while you are gone :) A little about me... I LOVE animals, dogs horses etc. Currently, I have 4 rescued cats and 1 rescue dog. They are my kids... and I will treat your pets as my own! My Ultimate goal is to eventually have an animal rescue and sanctuary! That would be amazing.

Safety, trust & environment

I gather all pertinent information at a meet and greet when in home sitting. This provides me a playbook of sorts to ensure pets routines are closely matched.

We can’t say enough good things about Janet and how she cared for our cats and our home. We really appreciate how well she cared for our cats and our property while we were away. Everything was clean, tidy, and in great shape when we returned — you did a wonderful job.

Janet was a lifesaver as our senior dog, Hershey, had surgery a few weeks before Thanksgiving and we had plans we didn't want to cancel. So she pet- and house-sat at our home for 3 nights. Hershey was still recuperating, needed some meds and some coaxing with eating. She did a great job, stayed in good touch with us, including photos. We would definitely use her again when needed.

Janet was awesome with our dog Murphy. Lots of pics of him along the way. Very happy she was able to watch him for us. She was so accommodating with specific asks (dog walks, taking to groomer, watering plants, etc). She definitely went above and beyond.

I ask alot of questions regarding your "furbaby"! I like details on feeding... how much, when, medications (if any), potty breaks, personality, or any health issues. I usually get a list of emergency #'s including vet info. I also like to know what is your dog's favorite activity? Is it lounging, walking frequently, water play, fetching?Every dog has a different activity level. I have dogs who love the water, so when I sit for them we play in the baby pool or water hose. I have a dog who is FANATIC about sprinkler systems... so that's part of playtime... visiting neighbors who have sprinklers! :) I even cook for some of my pet clients!
