The Stay-Home-Mom Sitter

Hello! I’m a stay-home-mom to an 8-year-old human, 17-year-old Border Collie, and a kitty under 1. Our family moved to the area in2017, and I’ve built strong friendships with neighbors while caring for their pets while they are away. I have a lifetime of experience with both dogs and cats; canine recall training, socialization and behavioral training. My (our) love for animals makes this sort of “work” easy and fun. I know how important it is to leave your pets in the care of someone that you trust, and I love an opportunity to spend time with them. I would love to meet your pets!

Joy has kept our puppy several times now, and he is always so happy when he arrives and sees her and her family! She sends so many updates and photos, and we truly have peace of mind while we are away. She goes above and beyond and we’re so appreciative! Would trust her with anything that we need for our pup.
