I quit my job as an editor so I could focus on pet sitting full time, so your pets will be my top priority. My hours for travel are 10 AM to 10 PM. My canine specialties are med/large seniors/adults, though I do sometimes take puppies and small dogs who have a more calm/responsive demeanor. Cuddlebugs and bully breeds are my favorite! And I especially love helping with kitties. -------- Which service is right for you? 1) DOG DROP-INS: Great for checking in on pups while you're gone for the day! Can include a walk or potty break, fresh water, playtime, food, treats, cuddles, and anything else you and your pup need. Visits are usually 30 minutes, though I'm often there for longer to ensure everyone is happy before I leave. You can also book me for 60 or more to ensure your pup gets plenty of pampering. *Please note: If you're traveling overnight, I DO NOT OFFER doggy drop-ins since I don't provide visits before 10 AM. Dogs left overnight generally do best with boarding or house sitting anyway, as they benefit from greater supervision. If drop-ins work best for you, plan for a minimum of 3 visits/day and an absolute max of 12 hrs alone overnight unless your dog has access to a doggy door or another caregiver to fill in the gaps. 2) DOG WALKING: These are basically just drop-ins with no end date. Either service can include walks and anything else your pet needs. Feel free to book under either option if you just need someone to check on your pup while you're gone for the day. Note that for a 30-minute visit, the walk may be closer to 20 or 25 minutes to allow time for fresh water afterward, wiping paws, rewards like treats and cuddles, a little ball chasing, and sending you a thorough update with lots of cute pics! 3) CAT DROP-INS: Cats should almost always stay in their own home, as they can be highly stressed by changes to their environment, which can quickly lead to illness. Generally kitties do great with 1 visit/day (30+ min) around 10 or 11 AM unless your kitty needs medication, gets extra lonely, or has other extenuating circumstances. We'll have playtime, cuddles, fresh food and water, and anything else your kitty needs. If your kitty is super shy, I can sit and talk softly to them, offer treats, etc. until they feel comfortable coming out on their own. I'll also make sure to set eyes on each kitty each visit just to ensure everyone is safe and accounted for. 4) DOG BOARDING in a sitter's home: A great option if you're traveling. Dogs generally do very well adventuring in a sitter's home, but make sure to ask your sitter about their work schedule and other pups they may board simultaneously. And ALWAYS do a meet-and-greet! Pup not dog-friendly? There are many sitters in the area who don't have their own dogs--just use the search filter. 5) HOUSE SITTING in your home: A premium service offering up to 24/7 supervision, including overnight. Includes anything you or your pet may need--unlimited potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, water, treats, cuddles, and as many updates as you can handle! Generally I would just need to leave to walk a few of my other clients' pets and would otherwise be home, but let's chat about your individual needs. (If using another sitter, make sure you chat about their exact schedule/time away, as that varies greatly for this service.) Generally I'm most able to help with short stays when I am available for house sitting, but feel free to ask. 6) A FEW HOURS in your home: Sometimes pets need a little extra supervision while you step out of the house. Maybe they are a new adoption (congrats!), are recovering from a medical procedure, or have separation anxiety exacerbated by COVID. Whatever the reason, I'm happy to come stay with your pet at a personalized rate that we discuss beforehand. You can request this under either house sitting or drop-ins, and I'll adjust the cost. --------
