Pet care experience
PAWSitively Amazing Care! 🐾
My care experience for pets started when I was five back on a farm in Arkansas when I got my first kitten I named Baby. She did Everything with me! I’ve had many different kinds of pets from gerbils to rabbits, dogs and cats and even a cow named Fred. I’ve cared for many breeds of dogs over the years, including Dachshund, Yorkshire terrier, Greyhound, Shih Tzu, Boxer, Rottweiler, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Great Dane and many mixed breed mutts that have been some of the best pups I’ve ever had. I believe in rescuing pets as there are so many that need a loving home. I’ve also had many different short and long haired breeds of cats throughout my life, including a special bonded pair with disabilities. I think every pet has their own special personality and relationship with their person and I believe all pet parents want the same thing… Someone they can trust to take care and love their babies as much as they do while they’re away. As a pet parent myself, I understand it can feel impossible, as no one knows your pet as well as you do, which is why I feel it’s very important to meet your pet ahead of time to see their personality, go over specifics in addition to special needs and any other expectations. I want to build a trust relationship with my clients so they are confident they are getting the care they expect for their beloved pets.

I do have a fenced in backyard for pups that are friendly with other small dogs as I have a male Shorkie that absolutely loves playtime with any size dogs. I can provide daily walks or play dates as well.
Ratings and reviews
Pamela and Matt took wonderful care of our two kitties. We received great updates on the check-ins and they made sure all their needs and special quirks were addressed. They were also very gracious to accommodate some unavoidable travel changes. We were so happy with their care. Such amazing pet sitters!
Pam is THE BEST! Super attentive, on time for every visit, and provided the same love and care for my cats as I do. She really treated them as if they were her own. My senior girl had to be medicated twice every day and Pam came through each time. I never had to worry about her health while she was in her care. Can’t thank Pam enough for an stress-free vacation!
Pam was so great to work with. We presented her with a five dog challenge and she exceeded our expectations! She provided lots of pictures and gave a great narrative of the stay’s happenings. All the pups loved her and we knew they were in great care with her. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Would definitely recommend Pamela! She was so wonderful to our Harlei & treated him as her own!
Pamela was amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a more caring and reliable person to look after our cat. From the very beginning, she was attentive, communicative, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cat was not only fed and cared for, but also given attention while we were away. She kept everything clean and organized, followed all instructions perfectly, and even went the extra mile to write detailed report with pictures every single day. Wow! That takes time and effort. We are grateful and would absolutely trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone dependable, kind, and truly dedicated to pet care!
I can’t recommend Pam highly enough as a pet sitter. From the moment she met my pets, it was clear she has a natural warmth and an intuitive understanding of animals. She took the time to learn their routines, quirks, and favorite activities, and treated them with the same love and patience she would give her own. While I was away, Pam kept me updated with photos, messages, and thoughtful notes that gave me total peace of mind. I could tell my pets felt comfortable, safe, and genuinely happy in her care. She is dependable, attentive, and incredibly kind—someone you can trust without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, who will care for your pets as cherished family members, Pam is truly the perfect choice. Your pets will be in the best hands possible.

Schedule
I am currently working my primary job during the week during the day and am available for both morning visits until 7:30 AM and evening visits after 5:30pm M– F, as well as all day availability on weekends! Also, my partner, Matt Knippenberg, is a Rover sitter and we team up together when needed! He is available any time of day throughout the summer, which gives our pet parent clients plenty of options for availability between the two of us! Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, daily visits, walking or a play date, all requests are welcomed. 🐶 💞🐱
