About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and natural connection with animals of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and I currently share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I've also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you're away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or just being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or just sitting with them for comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet's routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you're away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.
“Bailey was a WONDERFUL cat sitter. She checked up on my two cats once a day, feeding them, filling their water bowl, cleaning the litter, and giving my one friendly cat lots of love. I asked if she would send a picture of them each day so I wouldn't worry as much about them. She went above and beyond, sending 8 or 9 pictures and videos each day and also sending full reports on how they were doing. I get very anxious when I'm away from the kitties, and her detailed updates made me feel so much better about being away for the holidays.”
About: We are the typical pet owners who treat their "children" as another loved family member. Our large, fenced yard and our cozy, animal friendly environment is perfect for your "child" while you are away. Our pet (and yours) gets exercised 2-3 times a day, swimming is always allowed if ok with you, and someone is almost always home to play, love and protect your pet. As an owner of Doodles and Mutts- exercise is demanded on a daily basis- so your pet will reap the benefits of our energetic pups. Your pet will receive tons of attention and affection and will be cared for and loved as if they were our own. About this sitter: I am a self-employed woman with a penchant for dogs. I treat them as my children and ensure they are well exercised, loved and have plenty of fun. Why I love dog sitting I have had many dogs in my life and have often helped individuals train their pet. I have extensive (20 years) basic training experience and love to spend time making sure a pet is happy and healthy. About my yard I live on a full acre and my dog/house guests have access to almost every inch of it. There is plenty of room to safely roam the fenced 1/2 acre and also plenty of room to play ball, frisbee or just run about! Our world revolves around our pets and we will make sure your pet has everything they need to be a happy pet. If there are any special instructions, we will assure that things are done correctly and patiently. We will play and entertain them all day, maybe a swim, maybe a walk, maybe a trip to the park. Down time may include cuddles, Doggie YouTube to keep their brains stimulated. Hourly potty breaks.

“What a relief!! I usually never vacation without my dogs but had no choice this time. I have 2 very active dogs who suffer anxiety if not properly exercised and can cause lots of damage.
