Pet care experience

Kind, Reliable, Trustworthy

No rule will be bent, no abnormal behavior will go unreported, and no tummy will be left unrubbed! I've done it all! Boarding, overnights, drop in visits, walks, appointment escort, etc... I just love animals. I've never met an animal I didn't get along with and never feel better than when one returns that love. I know it can be challenging and, frankly, scary to trust someone else with your pets- they're family after all! That's why I consider the role of pet sitter as the most important part of my day. You want pictures? You got 'em! You need updates? Expect a detailed text! You want someone to reassure your babies to not worry and their mom(s)/dad(s) will be home soon? I will be as clear with them as if they were a human child! I get it, you worry they will feel scared when you aren't home. That's why I am here. Food, walks, and playtime are all well and good, but I believe it is just as important to make them feel as comfortable as I can with as much reassurance as I can give. I am a weekly volunteer at Kitty Harbor in Griswold so when it comes to cats, I am experienced in all sorts of mishaps- litter accidents, dirty butt, scratch boo boos, and more. I am also experienced in administering medication. Of course, if you're kitty has a way that works for them, then that's how we'll get it done! As for the pups, I am always excited to get a chance to go for a walk or even a full on hike! Exercise is always more fun when a four legged friend is involved. If you're training a young puppy, or even an old fellow, just let me know exactly when I should be disallowing and you can feel comfortable they won't be learning any bad behavior from me. One last note: boundaries are so important. Every animal is different and every animal has their own limits. If your kitty doesn't like to be pet, then no pets they shall have. If your dog doesn't like to be watched while they eat, then my eyes shall be shut. I hate being stressed, why would I put that on anyone else?

Pam is my go to! For years I've called on Pam, even last minute, to watch my Daisy for long periods of time or even just for a walk in the afternoon when I knew no one would be home. Recently, we added a foster tot he mix and Pam was more than happy to assist daily is securing the Little's routine and house training. She is the best!

Having five dogs, three cats, and several fish is no easy task for anyone, let alone a pet sitter! But I knew that Pam was the one for the job. I took a vacation in 2017 for 2 weeks and left my home and babies in her more than capable hands. Dutch, Si, Jackson, Guinness, and Dublin, as well as all the fish and cats, were well cared for and I had peace of mind all my vacation!

Schedule

I work a 9-5 in Norwich so I am available early mornings and evenings for visits. If you're in Norwich, I can be available mid day for a lunch time drop in as well. I have reliable transportation and a desire to start and/or end my day with furry friends. As for weekends, I am always booked afternoon into the evening on Sunday for my time with the kitties at the Kitty Harbor, but other than that I can have plenty of room on the weekends to add your babies in to my routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Routine and boundaries. Whatever they are used to, that's what they'll get from me! I hate being stressed, why would I want to do anything to make an animal unnecessarily stressed?

A typical day

Physically and mentally, animals need stimulation, just like us. We will check out all sorts of new smells on our walks, play lots of fetch or catch the mouse on the string, and engage in a ton of one sided verbal conversation.

Takes only 1 client at a time

Let me know your routines! If you cat/dog has a special way they want to be pet, a certain way they need to be fed, or any kind of special needs, let me know and I will do my absolute best to make things as normal and routine for them.
