Care Designed Around Them

Every pet and home is different. My in-home care is tailored to your pets’ routines, personalities, and individual needs, so they can stay comfortable at home while you travel with peace of mind. Have something specific in mind? I’m happy to create a personalized care plan.

Private In-Home Overnight Pet Sitting

Personalized overnight care in the comfort of your pet’s own home. I follow their familiar routines as closely as possible, providing consistent companionship and attentive care while you’re away.

Overnight stays include feeding and fresh water, walks and potty breaks, playtime and enrichment, medication when needed, pet waste cleanup, daily photo and video updates, and plenty of love and attention.

Your home is thoughtfully cared for, too, including mail and package retrieval, plant watering, trash and recycling, and light home care.

Every stay is tailored to your pets, your home, and your normal routine.

Senior Dog

A little extra patience, comfort, and attention for pets in their golden years.

Senior pets often thrive when they can stay in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. I provide calm, attentive care tailored to your pet’s individual needs, mobility, energy level, and daily schedule.

Care may include medication, slower or shorter walks, frequent potty breaks, mobility assistance, modified feeding routines, extra rest and companionship, and close attention to any changes in behavior or wellbeing.

I’ll follow your established care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos, videos, and anything I notice throughout the stay. My goal is to keep your senior pet comfortable, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.

Puppy Care

Puppies need a little more time, patience, and supervision. Puppy care is designed around your puppy’s current schedule and helps maintain the routines and expectations you’ve already established at home.

Care may include frequent potty breaks, scheduled meals, walks when appropriate, play and enrichment, crate or pen routines, early morning and evening care, and reinforcement of your existing training and house rules.

Because puppies require more hands-on attention and frequent care throughout the day, puppy stays are priced separately from standard overnight care.

Cat Care (Senior & Kitten)

For many cats, staying home is far less stressful than changing environments. In-home cat sitting allows your cat to remain surrounded by their favorite hiding spots, sleeping places, smells, and familiar routine while you’re away.

Care includes feeding and fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime and enrichment, companionship, medication when needed, and daily photo and video updates.

Whether your cat wants plenty of attention or prefers a little more personal space, their care is always adapted to their personality and routine.

Adventures & Outings

For pets who love a little adventure, customized outings can be added to select stays or arranged based on availability.

Depending on your pet’s personality, activity level, and comfort, adventures may include local hikes, nature walks, beach outings, swimming, longer neighborhood explorations, or other pet-friendly activities they already know and enjoy.

Every outing is planned with your pet’s safety, routine, and individual needs in mind. I’ll never introduce your pet to an unfamiliar activity without your approval, and you’ll receive plenty of photos and videos along the way.

Adventure outings are available for (sometimes) an additional fee and are subject to availability, location, weather, and your pet’s individual needs.

Other Pets…

From ponds to terrariums, I’m comfortable caring for a variety of unique pets and have hands-on experience with both aquatic and exotic species.

Previous care experience includes chickens, goats, bunnies, pigs, koi and common aquarium fish, axolotls, giant Amazon frogs, tarantulas, venomous Amazonian centipedes, and glow-in-the-dark venomous scorpions.

Exotic and specialty pet care may be added to an in-home pet sitting stay for an additional fee. I’m also comfortable following established feeding routines involving live insects, including crickets and worms. (its not my favorite, but I can do it!)

For safety and personal comfort, I do not provide care for large snakes or perform live rodent feedings. All exotic pet care is considered individually based on the species, care requirements, enclosure setup, and feeding routine.

I do not provide care for horses or cattle but I can check on them or give them treats if they live on-site.
