About: I am used to dealing with cats and dogs of all sizes and nature. I have pet sat and house sat for friends and family. I have a free weekly schedule with lots of flexibility. I am available to any strange hours or days. I love animals and make time. I am always respectful of each houses rule and maintain boundaries with the animals without being harsh. Always clean after myself and never leave a mess.

“Fantastic pet sitter! I have a very stubborn and specific elderly dog and after talking with her once, I felt completely confident that he would be well taken care of. I received multiple updates throughout my dog’s stay, and she was even gracious enough to allow me to pick him up after midnight. Everything went smoothly and I can tell from my dog’s stay, as well as the sweet attitude of the other animals in her home, that this is a very loving place for pets! Thank you very much!”
