Pet care experience
Loving Care When You’re Not There!
Hello! I pride myself in being a caring, devoted, and detail oriented caretaker. I will care for your pets as my own, making sure to get to know their individual personalities and needs. I’ve been passionate about animal care since I was a kid probably because we were not allowed to have pets in our apartment complex growing up. Even so, I found ways to be around animals by volunteering at animal shelters and caring for friends and family’s pets. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity to have my own pets. Now I live with my cat Ginger (calico) and dog Trixie (pitbull), the sweetest girls! Outside my experience caring for my own pets and pet sitting for friends and family, I have also been a foster parent for the past two years which has taught me the value of patience and thinking quick on my feet. I have seen how startling and terrifying it is for pets to be alone and in new environments. I make every effort to help them feel comfortable and slowly come out of their shells. As your sitter I take the same approach. My goal is to help your furry family member feel and be safe while you are away. Fun fact: I have also volunteered at a barn sanctuary so k have some experience caring for horses, pigs, and goats! I am happy to set up a meet and greet before officially sitting to ensure you feel at ease and so that I can get to know your pet. I will follow instructions as listed and send a daily photo and update. I am responsive and committed to making sure you and your pet both feel supported and cared for.

Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
To ensure I am meeting your standards I schedule meet and greets in advance of any official sitting. This allows me to get to know your pet but also get a sense of where things are in your home and any major things to avoid. At every visit, I make sure food and water bowls are full, litter boxes are clean, potty breaks have been taken, and last but not least that some play time is incorporated!
