Safety, trust & environment
I focus on creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and household preferences, and I communicate reliably with updates and photos.
Ratings and reviews
Nancy took amazing care of our puppy—I think he was sad to see us come back! She took great care of our home, too. Can’t say enough good things.
Nancy is a super-star sitter. She takes care of our dog as if she were her own beloved pet, giving her loads of affection and attention, making sure she is safe, happy, and entertained throughout the course of their time together. She is very warm, reliable and easy to work with. She clearly loves this work and is interested in animals' well-being and enrichment. Nancy is also a great overnight house & pet sitter: she's extremely trustworthy and takes great care of our home and all the pup's multi-day needs. She sends lots of updates and photos to set our minds at ease so that we can enjoy our time away.
Pearl loved her walk with Nancy. She brought treats for her and thoughtfully helped her with her anxiety and shyness while providing a fun experience.
A wonderful first experience for us on Rover! Nancy was attentive and dependable and a great match with our creature. Thanks, Nancy!
Nancy is an ideal sitter. She was attentive to care instructions and comes with experience around fully trained service animals- a big must for me. At the meet and greet she took notes and instantly hit it off with my furry baby. Nancy is must if you want safe, fun and compassionate company for your pet. I appreciated the high level professionalism and occasional photo updates. Would highly recommend.
Nancy cared for our 13-year-old chihuahua Charli for a week while we were on vacation. Charli has a minor heart condition and needs medication daily, so it was important that she was in caring and conscientious hands. Nancy couldn’t have been a better choice! She stayed in our home with Charli and sent us regular, thoughtful updates via text. We could tell from the photos that Charli was happy and very comfortable with her new friend. And we also had the peace of mind that our home was also being taken care of. We would absolutely recommend Nancy without hesitation!

Schedule
I currently offer pet sitting on a selective basis so I can provide focused, dependable care and maintain consistent routines for each pet. I require a meet and greet initial assessment for you to meet me and for me to assess your dog. Best fit will be with dogs who enjoy the company of my dog Coco (a Shih Tzu Dauchshund mix) but evening visits, weekends, vacation coverage, and overnight care are fine for dogs that perfer human company. I keep my service area manageable to ensure reliable communication, punctual visits, and attentive care for every animal.
