young-professional pet lover

Pet care experience

15 years of House/Pet Sitting Experience I took a 2 year hiatus during COVID, but would love to take care of your sweet pets again! Please feel free to drop me a line! I am here to make you feel at ease about leaving your pet while you travel. I promise to give your pets the love, care and attention that I hope anyone would give to my own pets. I am especially partial to special needs, elderly, or ill pets as I love to spend time with them and make sure they are comfortable. I am willing to do anything to comfort your dogs while you're away and make them feel at home. As I am an active individual, I can cater to hyper pets and those who enjoy walks or runs. I am excited to take care of your fur babies, just reach out to me and we can set up a meet & greet!

Saskia was absolutely wonderful with our 5 month old kitten while we were out of town. Her communication was great and we really appreciated the update photos she sent. Our kitten really loved her, and we’ll definitely be asking Saskia to pet sit for us the next time we go out of town again!

Saskia was amazing with our 9 month old Golden. Saskia was willing to help us on very short notice. This was our puppy's first time with a sitter and Saskia made it a great experience! She stayed with our puppy overnight, took her on long walks twice a day. She also cared for our older cat who needs daily medicine. Our cat does *not* warm up to strangers easily, but she loved Saskia right away. Saskia is a great communicator. She sent frequent photo updates and contacted us whenever there was an issue or to confirm our plans. She really went above and beyond to make our puppy's time fun and safe and comfy plus giving us piece of mind while we were traveling. Saskia really is a loving caregiver! Thanks Saskia!!

Saskia is the best. We booked her super last-minute (day-of) and had to drive an hour to get to her. It was completely worth it. Saskia was really quick with her responses and flexible with pickup and drop off. Her apartment has giant windows that go to the floor, which our girl Holly loved. She also let Holly sleep with her on her bed when there was heavy rain (Holly is a bit of a scaredy cat). And when it was unseasonably hot for a couple days during the boarding, Saskia took Holly for some nice walks early in the day before the heat got really bad. Plus, she has some beautiful grounds around her apartment and a dog park. It was awesome. And got adorable pictures and updates every day. THANK YOU SASKIA!!!

Saskia takes care of my (old) puppies every time I go out of town. They are always so happy to see her. She spends time with them and always sends me pictures of their happy smiles! She is fantastic and incredibly nice as well.
