The purity of a person’s heart can be quickly measured by how they regard animals. ~ Anonymous

My focus in pet-sitting is to keep your pet as happy and healthy as they would be if they were mine; this also extends to you. I do my best to make you and your pet’s experience with me the smoothest, most comfortable experience there is to be had.

Did you know… you can opt in for daily updates about your pet while it is in my care? I’ll even send you a photo or two from my phone, free of charge!

Pet Sitting at Your Place — starting at $10

I visit in fifteen minute increments; each additional 15 minutes costs $5:

  • 0-15 minutes ($10) – great for quick bathroom breaks
  • 15-30 minutes ($15) – bathroom break + food and water check + short playtime
  • 30-45 minutes ($20) – bathroom break +food and water check + long playtime
  • 45-60 minutes ($25) – bathroom break + food and water check + long playtime + home check

Unfortunately, fuel costs are high so I am forced to charge a 25 cents per mile to your residence if it outside my service area.

Pet Sitting at My Place — $25 per night

Drop your pet off at my farm and have a great night off! We prefer house-trained animals, but in-training puppies are welcome also.

What your pet and I will do (unless you opt out):

  • play with us as well as our dog Loopy,
  • take your pup out on farm errands,
  • let them play in the kennel,
  • they rest indoors in a crate or out depending on house-training

Disclaimer: Honesty is our policy and so the bad part about farms is there may or may not be fleas at any time; by petitioning this service, you agree to take full responsibility of the pet’s needs regarding common household/pet pests such as fleas and ticks. We promise to do our best from keeping these pests away from your pet but we can only do so much.

Pet+House Sitting (aka Overnight Sitting) — $30 per night

Where students and other non-professional sitters just do the bare minimum, you get the maximum from me. What this entails is you coming back to a happy pet and clean house. In addition to interacting with your pet, I …

  • gather mail and open/close blinds;
  • make sure every dish including your pet’s is clean;
  • sweep and/or vacuum for pet hair;
  • take out trash

Pick 2 cleaning needs for an additional $10 (in total; not per night)

  • Dusting
  • Mopping
  • Watering plants
  • Laundry (counts as 2)
  • inquire about other household chores

My Portfolio

These are all pets and farm animals that I have either had the pleasure of caring for or meeting. This is also an incomplete list; because I ask to take pictures of my clients pets and post them here for memories sake as well as for your pleasure, I may not have all of them up quite yet. Here are the few that I have so far:
