Pet care experience

Because dogs and cats are awesome!

I enjoy the company of animals so much. I have 3 resident dogs and 2 resident cats. I would have even more if my husband would let me. That’s why I started pet sitting! I really can't have enough dogs and cats in my life. The more the merrier. I have experience working at a veterinary clinic and volunteering at PAWS animal shelter where I cared for shelter dogs and cats and bottle fed baby squirrels. I especially love senior pets and am experienced with medication administration. When I’m not hanging out with dogs and cats, I am hard at work getting my doctorate in occupational therapy. My husband Chris works from home and often helps with daycare and boarding requests. We have two young daughters who also like to “help,” with pet sitting. When pets come to our home, we consider them part of the family. In the evenings they lounge with us on the couch and at they usually end up sleeping in bed with us.

Sarah is an outstanding cat sitter. She comes by twice a day to care for our cat. She has been with us since 2020. I’m grateful for her care and for tolerance of an older cat.

Sarah is an excellent cat sitter. She has been caring for our cats for several years. Sarah is kind and patient with my aging cat. His routine changes sometimes because of his health issues. Sarah has always been willing to adapt. I’m so grateful.

Sarah is an outstanding cat sitter. She has been taking care of our cats for several years. She is consistent and caring. My 19 year old cat needs something a little different each time. I’m grateful for her care.

Pets

A typical day

I approach each animal individually and the care that I provide depends on the personality of the pet. Some cats just want someone to sit with them. Others want cuddle and play time. Some dogs love playing fetch while others prefer slow meandering walks.

I find it helpful to know what behaviors are normal for your pet. Is your pet vaccinated? Does your dog or cat like treats or have food allergies. Would your dog enjoy a trip to the dog park? Who is your local veterinarian and preferred emergency hospital?
