Why Hire Me?

As any pet parent knows, finding reliable care for your beloved pets can be your most stressful mission. It isn’t as though there is a shortage of options, but sometimes all of the options can seem overwhelming.

Please consider using me as your in-home critter sitter for your dogs, cats, llamas, reptiles, small animals, reptiles, birds, even chickens over other methods of pet care because:

•I work with one client at a time and will not be caring for any home or pets but yours. Most other services will only come to your home for 15 minutes to give your pets a potty break and make sure they have food and water. I will stay in your home providing only for your needed pet care until you return.

•You and your pets will benefit by the consistency of having the same pet-loving caregiver in your home. Reducing the stress and anxiety that’s inevitable from having random people who are unfamiliar with your pet’s routine or whom you don’t trust. After just a short time I’m confident you and your pets will get to know and love me; making future visits happy ones.

•Your pets get to remain in their own comfortable and familiar environment. Ask any cat and they will tell you, traveling in a car is nerve-wracking. They would much prefer to stay where their creature comforts are.

•Your pets get one-on-one care from an experienced pet caregiver – meaning they do not need to beg for attention over other animals and they get all the kisses and belly rubs they can handle!

•In a kennel it is difficult to determine whether or not your dog is receiving the exercise they need. When I report they received 30 minutes of exercise you can be sure they were moving for half an hour (they’re not just left in a boarding cage to be taken out twice a day for a quick potty break).

•Viruses can be rampant when a bunch of pups get together and hang out. If one gets a respiratory infection the whole kennel has a shot at getting it and likely will.

•If your pets have special needs such as diet or medications I will make certain those needs receive the attention they require and deserve.

•Your home will have an extra layer of protection while you are away. I will stay at your home and watch it as well as your pets. Your home will show signs of life and activity. I also do the day to day activities like bringing in the mail and putting the garbage out. Lights go on and off at the intervals they do when a home is occupied.

•It is more economical than boarding, especially for those of you with more than one pet. It’s the best of all worlds, better care for your pets, a safer home and saving money!

•I’m an experienced house and pet sitter who will make caring for your home and pets my number one priority.
