Pets Treated Like Family

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is the personal care and attention I give to each pet I look after. Even though I’m fairly new to professional pet-sitting, I’ve already built great connections with the pets and families I’ve worked with. I take the time to learn each animal’s routine, personality, and quirks so they feel comfortable and cared for while their people are away

I can't recommend Sydney enough! She took amazing care of my little zoo, including my green cheek conure Mojo, two cats, and two dogs, and did so with such kindness and professionalism. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout her stay, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. Sydney is responsible, reliable, and now my go-to pet sitter. I feel so lucky to have found her!

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, favorite activities, and little quirks so they feel comfortable while their family is away. Whether it’s regular feedings, playtime, medication, or just quiet companionship, I’m there to provide the care and attention they’re used to. I also make sure to keep the home clean, safe, and tidy — including bringing in mail, watering plants, and maintaining a secure, lived-in feel. I believe pets do best in their own space with someone who treats them like family, and that’s the kind of care I strive to provide with every stay.

As a high school teacher, I’m naturally organized, dependable, and used to managing busy schedules - which makes pet care a seamless and rewarding part of my routine. I typically pet-sit on weekends, holidays, and during school breaks, but I’m also available for morning, evening, and overnight visits during the school year. Caring for animals is a wonderful balance to my teaching job; it gives me a chance to slow down, connect with pets, and enjoy quieter moments in my day. Whether it’s early morning feedings or evening playtime, I’m always happy to work pet care into my daily routine because it’s something I genuinely love doing.
