A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
This is it. This is all I want to do. I just want to look after animals and help humans along the way.
My niche is giving the dedicated, loving humans with special needs animal family members a break from the upkeep and compassion fatigue that comes with being a caregiver.

I want this kind of care to be available for everyone, but not everyone can afford it. If you want to cover the cost of a special needs pet sit for someone on a fixed income or an emergency sit, click here:

SERVICES AND FEES
PET WALKING
I'll walk your pet/pets on their regular route, or take them to the dog park, off to the trails, or down the shore, if you like!
Not a dog? Not a problem! Where there's a harness, there's a way. Does your bird, or rat, or pet pig, or goat, etc. love to take a stroll around the neighborhood? I'll get them all geared up, and we'll have grand old time!
​
Coming soon: Package deals and online payments right here on my website! Stay tuned for more details!
​
NOTE: All walkies paid in advance. PayPal preferred. No refunds. If a walk/stop-in gets cancelled, you'll get a walk credit for future services. Win-win!
$50/hour - 1/2 hour minimum
VACATION PET SITTING
I can stop in or stay, depending on the situation and duration of the sit. All dogs and farms are an automatic on-site stay for the psychological wellbeing and health monitoring of the animals, as are all cat or bird sits longer than 7 days. No exceptions.
​
I'm a one-person operation, and I can do farm sits, so long as the livestock headcount is reasonable. NOTE: As of 11/21/2023, I am taking a break on farm sits, as I am not yet cleared to get back to stall mucking and lifting bales of hay. I'll let you know when I'm cleared to do all that!
​
Are you a hunter with a pack or in the far north with sled dogs? I understand the difference between companion and working animals, and so long as their treatment is humane and their physical condition is good, I can work with that.
Are you outside of the US in need of a pet/farm sitter? Get in touch! When my schedule allows, I can travel to your location to provide love and support for your animals!
​
Are you a public figure looking for a zero-drama animal caretaker who knows how to work with respect for your property, discretion, NDAs, and highly trained security dogs? Get in touch today!
NOTE: 50% up-front, non-refundable deposit for all stayover pet sits at the time of booking. If you should cancel, the deposit will be applied to future bookings. Win-win!
$50/hour for stop-ins - 1/2 hour minimum; $150/24-hour stayover, 1/2 day minimum to start. Contact me to discuss farm sits, out-of-state, international, and extended sit rates.
