About: Hi, I am a mature, quiet, easy going single woman who loves animals. I am 70 years old, I’ve owned horses for 37 years and I grew up with dogs since childhood and have owned dogs in my adult life as well. I have done pet/house sitting for many years and have had no problems with anyone in my care. I have given shots to a diabetic dog, meds in a dropper to a cat and pills down the throat of many a dog and cat. I have an easy going approach and there isn't too much that ruffles my feathers. Dogs always like to sit on the couch with me to watch TV at night...LOL. I have 37yrs experience with horses and taking care of them and their barns. I’ve also helped my dog groomer friend by bathing, drying and clipping the hair inside their paws. If you have any questions or need additional info, feel free to ask. Why I love pet sitting/walking I was raised with dogs, had them after I got married, then got a corgi after my divorce. While married, I confiscated the family dog because I did not feel he was getting enough attention at my family's home. I did some Flyball and agility with my corgi, Geraldine who passed in 2013 at the age of 15. Walking a dog gets us both out and about and it also tells me a lot about the behavior of the dog, their reactions to people and other dogs as well as strange noises. I love their personalities and their antics and watching them play with other dogs. The same applies to horses. Being around them helps me get to know them and their personalities and eating habits I’m currently retired so I’ll have plenty of time to play/walk and work with your dogs, play with your kitties and spend time with your horses. I do not have a fenced in yard so walking your dog is best or taking them to a dog park. I’d care for them like they were my own. I would also stay at your home if needed so that your pet can stay in a familiar environment. If you have horses, I could stay at your home as well and take care of them as well as taking care of your barn and stalls.


13. Magdelena Z.

“Our cat loved Magdalena! She was a great communicator and split up her visits each day to give our cat someone to interact with. We will certainly use her again, great experience!”


14. Deanna C.


“Deanna took great care of my fur baby! She sent great pictures and notes. She went above and beyond several times and spent more time with my cat than I had booked for her. My cat got along great with her and he was happy and healthy when I got back. High recommend!”


15. Kimberly & John R.


“Kim always takes care of our pups while we are away. She cares for your pups and your home as if it were her own. She's truly amazing. If you are looking to go away a few days and want peace of mind, definitely book Kim and John.”


16. Whitney B.

“Whitney is punctual, dependable and very kind to our animals. She completes all tasks as required and goes above and beyond. This is our first time using the service and we are thrilled. we will continue to use Whitney and the Service in the future, and look forward to a long time relationship with her.”


17. Andrew Moses Y.
“My husband and I were able to put our anxiety of traveling aside. We used to worry about traveling because of our cat, Anais Nin. Andrew placed us at ease. We knew we could trust Andrew with our home and that she would be well cared for. He would stop by daily to check-in on her and keep her company while feeding her and switching out her water. Andrew is trustworthy and takes pride in his work. He authentically loves working with animals. We are fortunate to have his services.”


18. Yulissa V.
“I hereby highly recommend this pet sitter. I have trusted her to care for my little friend on multiple occasions, and she has always proven to be responsible, loving, and attentive to my pet's needs.”


19. Erin M.

“Great sitter!! Thank you so much for all you’ve done for Odi!”


20. Kaitlin M.

“Kaitlin helped us out last minute and I couldn’t be more grateful! Our pup has been injured for a few weeks and on bed rest but needed to be let out - I had no doubt in my mind Kaitlin could handle it given her experience working with a vet. She was super responsive and understood all of our rules. She sent lots of pics and texts during the drop in which is sooo nice to have!”
