I'm a mature pet sitter whose journey into this caring profession began quite unexpectedly. When my daughter was cat sitting and occasionally needed assistance due to work commitments or being fully booked, I would step in to help. This experience revealed my natural affinity for animals and my genuine enjoyment of meeting new pets and discovering their unique personalities.

Animals are naturally drawn to my calm, gentle energy, and I always respect each pet's individual pace and temperament. My experience includes:

- In-home cat boarding

- Cat sitting in clients' homes

- Dog sitting (while dogs cannot stay at my home, I've had wonderful experiences caring for dogs when owners are away)

Daily Routine & Care Details:

During house sitting or pet sitting bookings, I maintain a consistent daily routine tailored to your pet's needs. I typically check on pets in the morning, midday, and evening, ensuring they receive proper feeding, medication administration, and companionship. Pets are rarely left alone for more than 3-4 hours at a time, with shorter intervals for younger, elderly, or pets requiring frequent care.

A Typical Day

My house sitting days begin with a morning visit to feed pets, administer medication if needed, and spend quality time playing or cuddling. I'll check food and water levels, clean litter boxes, and spend time with each pet according to their preferences. Midday visits include another feeding session and some outdoor time for dogs. Evenings feature a final visit for dinner, medication if prescribed, and bedtime routines. I send regular photo and text updates throughout the day so you can see how your beloved pet is doing.

Additional Services:

With my reliable transportation, I can easily take your dog to the park for 30-minute walks along pre-determined routes or explore new adventures together. I keep a dog crate in my vehicle for trips to the dog park and am happy to include beach walks - whatever makes your furry friend happiest!

I'm comfortable administering medications to both cats and dogs and will follow your specific instructions precisely, including feeding schedules and walking times. I'm dedicated to accommodating your pet's individual needs and ensuring they receive the best possible care in your absence.
