About Me
My Promise to You
And what you can expect from me...
I promise to provide all services in a reliable and professional manner. I will be the sole caregiver to your pet and above all else… I will care for your pet as if he or she were my very own.
Beginning with a Meet & Greet, we will go over your pet’s normal daily routine. We will discuss any concerns or issues you may have and settle on a time frame during which you would like your pet visited. Creating this schedule provides consistency and reliability for both you and your pet.
All visits include fresh air and exercise, potty break, playtime, fresh water, treats with positive behavior reinforcement, and lots of tender loving care. All visits end with a text notification updating you on your pet’s exploits for the day and any concerns or issues that may arise.
And by the way... I love taking pictures! Whenever I capture that adorable shot of your pet… I will share!
My Story
Why I Became a Pet Sitter
For as long as I can remember, I've always had a great passion and love for dogs. I am lucky to have two amazing dogs, Ruby, and Winnie. They are both Standard Poodles: affectionate, devoted, regal, and like most poodles, very intelligent. The pleasure I get from my dogs and the unconditional love they show me in return is priceless.
In their memory... I want to talk about my two special girls. Sambuca, my Standard Poodle, was with me for 14 wonderful years. She was a very affectionate dog and always seemed to know when someone was sad. She would lean on them for comfort. Zoey, my Goldendoodle, was my heart dog and could do no wrong. She was 10 when she passed. Both were friends to everyone and strangers to no one. They were cheerful, loving, loyal, playful, and very smart as well. This quote says it all...
"DOGS LIVES ARE TOO SHORT. YOU KNOW THE PAIN IS COMING, BUT THERE'S SUCH BEAUTY IN THE HARD HONESTY OF THAT, IN ACCEPTING AND GIVING LOVE WHILE ALWAYS AWARE THAT IT COMES WITH AN UNBEARABLE PRICE."

Changing lifestyles and careers consume more time these days.
People travel more, for both business and pleasure, put off having families and rely more on pets as an outlet for affection. But traveling poses problems:
-
Who do you call?
-
Who can you rely on?
Pet parents want the best possible care for their fur babies. I know I do. When planning our family vacation, I didn't want to traumatize my dogs by bringing them to a kennel. Ok, so "traumatize" is a poor choice of words. There are many good kennels out there. But, knowing my dogs, I felt they would be more comfortable at home.
So I decided to hire my own pet sitter. I wanted to keep my dogs home in their own environment where they would feel safe, secure, and above all stress-free.
It was at this time, I decided I wanted other pet owners to feel the same level of comfort as I did. Just knowing someone reliable is there to provide the right care for their dog brings great peace of mind. In addition, feeling good about what I do and having fun should be part of every career and job.
This is why I became a Pet Sitter.
