I didn’t make the decision to become a “pet sitter.” I answered my friends’ calls when they needed help caring for their pets. And what I’ve discovered is, caring for pets and knowing that the care I’m providing enriches their day and makes THEM happy, gives ME great joy! You see, I was born to be a mother and now that my nest is empty, I am “mothering” lots of animals. I am fortunate to have a career that's flexible so I can to extend my services to you; fulfilling your pet’s needs in your absence and providing you with peace of mind. I’ve always had pets & wide variety of them: dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, geese, horses, turtles, fish, you name it! I currently have two cats, two 50 lb golden doodles, and a painted turtle with an attitude. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages from 7 weeks to 20 years. I believe our pets’ contentment comes from having their needs met including: nutrition, exercise, mental stimulation and affection. I feel fortunate to have the time now to partner with owners who want compassionate, experienced care for their pets in their absence. I am conscientious about my work and responsible and respectful in your home. I will care for your pet like my own. My schedule can be flexible depending on circumstances so please talk to me if you have any questions!
