Cat & Dog Lover, Always Home

People have always told me I should work with animals professionally. I've just always been drawn to them. Every animal has their own personality, and I love taking the time to get to know each one. Respecting their individuality and keeping them comfortable and happy is really important to me. As a lifelong animal lover, I grew up with two cats and have fostered and cared for dogs of various breeds and sizes. I currently work from home on a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and give attention to your pet throughout the day. I know how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, so I'll stick closely to your instructions for feeding, exercise, and any special needs. I'm comfortable grooming and bathing pets if needed, and I'll take good care of your home while you're away too. I have experience babysitting and house sitting, and I always send updates (photos included!) so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I'd love to meet you and your pet to see if we're a good match!

Boarding • Sep 22, 2026

Sig was amazing with Kim and Chloe! She was very responsive, caring, and reliable, and we felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She kept us updated and made sure they were well looked after while we were away. We would definitely trust her with them again and highly recommend her!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 18, 2026

Sigourney took amazing care of my dog kria. Who can be very high energy & chatty. She was also very understanding when I have to pick him up a bit later than in the booking. He was happy and calm when I picked him up. 100% recommended her. 🙏

10000% recommend! As busy home owner, I was away for a week. Sig stayed at my place, watched, walked and cuddled Finn. My home spotless, plants happy — and I know he had a great time. She’s very responsible, respectful, but also gentle, caring and playful. And loves to walk! So your dog will get exercise! She sent me pics, kept me in the loop and I felt safe knowing she was in my home & caring for Finn. I could tell she gave both as much care and attention, as if they were her own. Go Sig! And thank you!

Sig is a wonderful, trustworthy person! Shes been my neighbour for 3 years and takes great care of my Cane Corso, Max. Hes a senior now and needs some extra attention and care. Max absolutely loves seeing herwhether he's staying with her while we're out of town or going on walks with her, shes very attentive to his special needs. I always feel completely at ease knowing he's in her hands. Highly recommend!

Sigourney is my go to dog walker because shes great with animals and she is almost always available even on short notice. I have also used her to board my dog and 2 cats when I was out of the country and all animals came back happy with clean crates.

Sigourney looked after my labradoodle for a week while I was away with work. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about animals then I would look no further. Jazz took to them instantly, liked exploring Sigourneys house and was relaxed from the start. 10/10 would recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

While I don't have a yard, I live in a spacious two bedroom apartment that's comfortable for pets to relax and settle into. I'm happy to board your dog or cat and treat your pet like family while they're with me. Without a yard, I make up for it with frequent walks. I personally aim for 10,000 steps a day, so I love getting out and exploring the neighborhood. There are several great parks nearby, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and time to explore throughout the day

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and engaged! For dogs, that means plenty of walks around the neighborhood parks. I'm also happy to do fetch, tug-of-war, or just some playtime in the apartment. For cats, I love interactive play with wand toys, and puzzle feeders to keep them mentally stimulated, plus plenty of cuddle time if they're the affectionate type. Every pet is different, so I always tailor activities to what your pet enjoys most!

I'd love to hear about your dog's personality, favorite activities, and any training or special needs beforehand so I can tailor our time together. I tend to click best with pets who are house trained and have an active, affectionate personality!
