Experienced Care

If you are looking for TRUSTWORTHY, KIND, and RELIABLE pet care, I am here for you and your pets. Not only do I love what I do, I also hold USDA Licensing and Animal Welfare Act Certification as a domestic animal handler and transporter (Cert #31-H-0060/6016223 Exp 2/16/2026). It is my promise to treat your pets as well as you do or better. I have been a pet owner for 16 years. I have also been a rescue and foster agent for over a decade caring for cats, dogs, squirrels, birds, raccoons, opossums, and others. I have the patience and experience to care for pets with special needs. I handle pets of all temperament and personality with great respect for animal boundaries and no fear. Big dogs, no problem. Litter boxes, no problem. My reputation and integrity are also of great importance to me as I am actively involved in my community and church. You can rest easy with your pets and home in my care.

Safety, Trust & Environment

I will travel within my preferred service area to your home to care for your pets. I have multiple pets of my own, so I do not offer in-home care. At your request, photos of your pet's care can be provided during my service to offer you peace of mind about the care they're receiving. No other person will assist me in the care of your pet. Guests will not be invited to visit during pet sitting. For personal safety, one additional person may accompany me while traveling during pet transport.

Please provide any information about special needs ahead of time. I am experienced with senior dogs and cats, pets with disabilities and limited mobility, nursing/bottle-fed pets, and oral medication. I am able to comfortably lift and assist pets up to 75 lbs. Heavier pets are no problem with proper assistance devices. Sharing information about your pet's typical routine, favorite activities, and personality is always helpful.

A Typical Day

I am an eyes-on, hands-on caregiver. Your pet will be monitored while in my care. I will interact with highly active pets and less active pets according to their energy level. Outside time, neighborhood walks, and trips to your pet’s favorite parks and pet walks will be provided. My vehicle is pet-friendly with an appropriate seat covering and harness tether. For car trips, please book a 2-hour minimum visit.

Availability

I am self-employed and also work full-time days, M-F. I am available for all scheduling, short and longer term. Drop-in visits are 30-60 minutes and include feeding and outside time. Evenings and weekends are flexible. Transport is currently available on weekends for semi-local distances (flight transports excluded from distance limits). Overnight and multi-day booking are available. Boarding is not available in my home.
