Pet care experience

Cat and Dog Lover - Works From Home

I’ve always had a pet in my family, ever since I was young. I absolutely love both dogs and cats, and I’m the proud mom of two cats right now (Scully and Bug). I work from home as a writer, so I’m able to offer in-house care for your beloved pets. I don’t have calls, so I can easily walk away from work for any time-sensitive care that your cat or dog needs. I'd love to help your pet be a little less lonely while you're away 🥰 I have experience with senior cats and reactive dogs.

Verna did a great job with our senior kitty, kitty with sensitive tummy issues, and chickens!

House Sitting • Oct 28, 2025

This was our first time leaving our dog at home with a sitter instead of boarding. It went great and Verna did a great job! Honey was happier and we could enjoy our vacation knowing she was being well taken care of. Verna communicated with us each day and let us know Honey was doing great and eating. We would definitely love to use Verna again in the future!

Verna took care of my 4 month old puppy. Great communication before and during pet sitting.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. Saturdays are usually the best time for all-day care, but I’m open to pet care during the week as well. I’d prefer to board in your personal home.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I will take care of your pet exactly the way you want me to! I know that each cat or dog has its own specific needs and wants. I’ll feed your pet, cuddle, or just be there to calm separation anxiety. Don’t be afraid to tell me your exact preferences, I’m picky about caring for my own cats, so I understand!

Pets

A typical day

Since I’ll be taking care of your pet in your home, I’m happy to follow your routine! I’ll take your dogs on walks multiple times a day, giving them time to go on sniffaries! With cats, I’ll use wands and any other toys you have to make sure they’re having fun.

I’m happy to care for larger dogs and even those with reactive tendencies. Make sure you give me all the information and resources I need so that I can handle your specific dog! I’d prefer too much information than not enough ?
