Pet care experience
Bonding with Your Furry Familiar
🐾 About Me With over 10 years of dedicated pet care experience, I go by Pippa, and I’m fluent in what I lovingly call “animal language.” I pay close attention to body cues, energy, and behavior so I can understand your furry familiar’s needs clearly and respond with patience, care, and respect. One astonishing (and important) thing about me: I am a Deaf fairy 🧚♀️✨. I connect with the world—and with animals—through deep observation, intuition, and curiosity. My deafness and invisible disabilities have shaped me into a highly attentive, creative, and present caregiver. I’m used to silence, and I find it grounding rather than limiting. After the recent loss of my beloved familiar, Victor, last August, continuing to care for others’ companions has become a meaningful part of my healing journey. I carry his gentle spirit with me—reminding me to lead with compassion, patience, and wholehearted presence in every visit. ⸻ 🌿 What Sets Me Apart ✨ Extensive Experience Over 10 years of hands-on care for dogs and cats, offering reliable, thoughtful, and loving support. ✨ Puppy, Kitten & Senior Care Gentle guidance for young pets and extra patience and attentiveness for senior companions who need slower pacing and comfort-focused care. ✨ Intuitive, Attentive Care I’m deeply observant and responsive to animal behavior and cues, allowing me to meet your pet’s needs with empathy and care. ⸻ 🌿 Special Skills & Services ✨ Pet-Friendly Trail Walks I enjoy discovering safe, nearby trails and calm walking routes that keep dogs engaged while respecting their comfort and energy levels. ✨ Constant Supervision Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I remain present and attentive during all activities. ✨ Medication Management Experienced with oral medications and comfortable following detailed care instructions with precision and care. ✨ Open, Reassuring Communication I use the Nagish app to communicate easily with hearing clients on a daily basis, and I’m very comfortable coordinating through text and written updates. I’ll always keep you informed if anything comes up—your peace of mind matters. ⸻ 🌿 Additional Experience ✨ Cat Care Deep experience with cats of all personalities, offering calm, respectful companionship and care on their terms. ✨ Curious & Adaptable I love learning—about animals and people alike—and I welcome questions with curiosity and openness. I’m truly an open book. ⸻ Caring for animals is more than a service to me—it’s a connection. I’m honored to support your familiar with kindness, patience, and genuine presence, just as I would my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or special instructions—I’m always happy to chat and clarify. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved companion soon. 🐾💜 — Pippa
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
🌿 My Approach to In-Home Pet Care My approach to caring for pets in a client’s home is rooted in safety, trust, and calm presence. I aim to create a supportive, familiar environment where your pet feels secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. ⸻ 🌸 Safety First ✨ Pet-Proofing with Care I thoughtfully check the home for potential hazards, such as toxic plants, unsecured cords, or small objects that could pose a risk. ✨ Secure & Mindful Environment I make sure doors, gates, and windows are properly secured at all times. For walks and outings, I use appropriate leashes or harnesses based on your pet’s needs. ⸻ 🌸 Building Trust & Connection ✨ Routine & Consistency I follow your pet’s established schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and rest to maintain stability and reduce stress. ✨ Gentle, Respectful Interaction I approach each pet with patience and attentiveness, allowing them to set the pace. I rely on calm energy and positive reinforcement to build trust naturally. ✨ Clear Communication with Pet Parents I provide regular updates, messages, and photos so you feel informed and at ease while you’re away. ⸻ 🌸 Creating a Comfortable Environment ✨ Familiar Comforts I ensure pets have access to their favorite toys, bedding, and comfort items, helping them feel at home even when you’re away. ✨ Enrichment & Engagement I tailor activities—such as play, walks, or quiet companionship—to match each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences. ✨ Attentive Care for Special Needs I’m experienced with medication routines and attentive to pets who need extra care, patience, or monitoring. ⸻ 🌿 Service-Specific Care ✨ Pet Sitting (In-Home) I stay in your home to provide consistent companionship and care in a familiar environment. ✨ Dog Walking I offer mindful walks, including pet-friendly routes or trails, while prioritizing safety and comfort. ✨ Cat Care I provide respectful, low-stress care—keeping litter boxes clean, offering interactive play, and honoring each cat’s unique boundaries. ⸻ By centering care around presence, routine, and trust, I strive to ensure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well-supported in their own home. If you have specific routines, preferences, or special instructions, I’m always happy to learn and adapt—your pet’s comfort comes first. 🐾💜
Ratings and reviews
Tirzah took really good care of my high energy pup. She was a great house guest as well and very thoughtful. Thanks, Tirzah!
Tirzah took great care of my kitties. She was responsible, prompt, and even did an extra visit when it was needed. She clearly has a special way with animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.
Tirzah was very attentive and kept me up to date with everything. Sent me videos. I would happily refer her to anyone.

Schedule
🐾 Updated Availability I’ve updated my schedule to reflect my current availability and flexibility, so we can find a rhythm that works best for you and your beloved companion. 🌿 Monday–Friday | Morning to Evening I’m available throughout the day—from morning to evening—Monday through Friday. 🌿 Weekends (Saturday & Sunday) I’m generally unavailable on Saturdays and Sundays. However, if your schedule conflicts or you have a special request, feel free to message me—I’m happy to discuss availability and see if we can make it work. ⸻ 📍 Location & Work Flexibility • Currently based in Annapolis, Maryland, and available for local bookings. • Open to house sitting throughout the DMV area (DC, Maryland, Virginia)—especially Virginia and Washington, DC during the spring season, as I’m studying Liberal Arts. • I work mostly remotely, which allows for flexibility and consistent presence during bookings. ⸻ 🏡 Interested in House Sitting? If you’re looking for a dependable and thoughtful house sitter, I’d love to learn more about your pets’ routines and your home’s needs. I’m happy to collaborate on a care plan that supports both your companions and your space while you’re away. Let’s connect and see how I can help keep your pets safe, relaxed, and happy. 🐶🐾💛
