Pet care experience

Safe, Tailored, Premium, Pet Care

I’ve taken care of different types of animals since I was a child. (I’m 57) My friends know how much love I have for animals, and often the first person my friends think about when they need someone to take care of their pets. I have extensive experience with senior and special needs animals who require unique care. I enjoy playing and walking with dogs and letting them experience their neighborhood surroundings and smells. Cats are fairly self sufficient, but the superior care I provide will give them plenty of attention and love. I am honored to be entrusted with the care of such an important part of the family as your pets. Your fur babies are safe with me. I promise to deliver superior care to meet your specific needs. I also promise to take care of your pet as I would my own. I have a little dog myself. Her name is Evie. She gets along with everyone. She’s seven and part Chihuahua Patterdale Terrier. I bring her with me most of the time, but will accommodate your needs. She doesn’t have to come, but I’d like it if she can.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s needs take priority. It is genuinely fun for me to spend time with animals outside my own home. I love all animals and will work with you to design the perfect care routine specific to your pet’s needs.

I’ve been using this wonderful pet sitter for my dog for quite some time now, and she has consistently exceeded all my expectations. She is a mature, responsible woman with a deep passion for animals and a proven track record of providing exceptional care. Whether it’s an overnight stay while I’m traveling or quick daily check-ins, she always goes above and beyond. She makes sure my dog is fed on time, gets plenty of exercise with enjoyable walks, and receives lots of playtime and affection throughout the day. My dog is always excited to see her and comes home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for every single time. Her reliability and gentle nature put my mind at complete ease whenever I have to be away. She truly treats every pet as if it were her own, and the personal attention she gives is second to none. I highly recommend her services to any dog owner. You can trust her completely—you won’t be disappointed! — Grateful Dog Mom

I cannot recommend our pet sitter highly enough. She is a mature, experienced, and truly dedicated woman who has proven herself time and time again as an outstanding caretaker for our animals. Over the past several years, she has cared for our dog, cat, and lizard—both during overnight stays at our home and through several daily check-in visits. Whether it’s an extended trip or just a few days away, we always leave feeling completely at ease knowing our pets are in her capable hands. She faithfully feeds them on schedule, keeps their spaces clean and comfortable, and gives each animal the individual attention they need. Our dog especially loves the regular walks she takes him on, and she always makes time to play with all of them so they never feel neglected. What stands out most is her genuine love for animals and her calm, reliable presence. She treats our pets like her own, and it shows in how happy and healthy they are every time we return. We have trusted her repeatedly without a single disappointment. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, professional pet sitter, look no further. You won’t be disappointed—you’ll be relieved and grateful, just as we are!

Schedule

I’m a retired teacher so there is plenty time for me to spend with grandkids and my own pets. I am often out and about, so caring for your fur baby can be easily incorporated into to my day. I’m also available for overnight, especially with babies that are apprehensive, nervous or special needs. My entire time will be devoted to making your pet happy.
