🐾 SW Hills Drop-Ins: July 10 – Aug 1! 🐾 I am housesitting in the SW Hills/Hillsdale area (near The Chart House) from July 10th to August 1st and have open availability for drop-ins within a 10-minute radius of The Chart House during that time. As a local school teacher, safety, structure, and patience are at the core of everything I do. When I'm not in the classroom, I bring that same level of care, dedication, and organization to looking after your pets. My Specialties: Feline Experts & Daytime Dog Time While I love all animals, I structure my services to fit my current lifestyle: For Housesitting (Overnights): I specialize exclusively in the feline world! I provide dedicated, low-stress, and reliable overnight attention for your kitties while you're away. For Drop-Ins & Dog Walking: I absolutely welcome dog time! I love getting outside, stretching my legs, and providing structured, safe daytime walks or potty breaks for your pups. A good match is a non-reactive, easy-going dog who is up for a calm stroll in the neighborhood or at a nearby park. 🐈 Multi-Cat Families: I believe a few extra head scratches shouldn't cost more. I don’t charge an additional fee for up to 3 cats—your base rate covers the whole trio. (If you have 4 or more cats, please message me so we can discuss a custom rate.) 🐕 Mixed Households: If you have a household with both dogs and cats, feel free to reach out for overnights! I'm happy to see if we're a great match. My Experience & Medical Care I've had a lifetime of pet ownership, including multiple cats and a sweet Dachshund named Hansi. One of my current cats is 14 with anxiety and asthma, so I am experienced at administering oral and topical medications. I haven't given insulin or allergy injections yet, but I'm absolutely willing to....give it a shot. :) For several years, I fostered for The Pixie Project, caring for cats recovering from surgery, tiny kittens, and those needing intense socialization (I’ve even braved giving sulfur baths!). I only stopped when I became a proud "foster failure" and adopted my third kitty. My Pet Care Philosophy Because I am naturally low-key, quiet, and calm, I'm good at reading the unique body language of cats and dogs. I know when a pet needs their space to feel safe, and when they are ready to open up and play. Because safety and structure are my top priorities, my dog-walking services are best suited for easygoing, non-reactive dogs who enjoy a peaceful, quiet stroll.
