Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Hello, I can provide reliable pet sitting/drop in pet care in your home. I am a former small business owner of 18 years who has recently moved back to my home state. I have pet sat for family and friends while they’ve gone on vacation & while I never did this full time, I am familiar with what tasks need to be done while in your home caring for your pets such as watering plants, collecting the mail, cleaning up after the pets and myself, taking out trash etc. if needed. I am a 45yr old non smoker, have reliable transportation & am promptly on time. I will provide a daily journal on each pet (eating habits, house messes if any, throw up, etc.) and can provided daily texts with pictures about my visits if your interested. I have 2 cats of my own & have had animals in my life since a small child. In my adult life I had a Boxer and two Mini Dachshunds. I am very passionate about all animals & I know how stressful boarding can be on them so I would love to be a part of your fur babies life while you are away.

Sandra has watched my little girl a few times and I always felt extremely comfortable with her. She is sincere and compassionate about animals. My little girl was always well taken care of, she would spend time at the house and make sure she was fed, watered, cleaned up after and played with. Sandra treated my cat like it was her own!!!! I highly recommend her and will use her in the future.

Sandra went above and beyond our expectations! It was our first time leaving our cats alone for awhile and Sandra made us feel at ease that they were in good hands. Sandra asked for lots of details about the girls so she could best care for them. Sandra updated us with photos and texts while we were away and even left a detailed daily journal on what she did and how the cats were doing. She played with them, talked with them, cleaned the litter box/took it away with her so it wasn’t sitting in the house and treated them as her own to keep them happy while we were away. She even left them a little toy when she left. Sandra noticed our one cat was knocking over the water dispenser, so Sandra stopped by everyday to check on the girls water on days we didn’t even pay her for, just because she was worried they wouldn’t have water. Sandra has a big heart and I will be using her in the future to take care of our cats!

I was going out of town and needed someone to care for my two kitties for a few days. One of my girls is a special needs kitty and needs medication four times a day. Sandra and I had a lengthy discussion over the phone, then she came to my house to walk through their routine (all the while taking detailed notes). I would've been nervous leaving my kitties with anyone, but Sandra did all she could to alleviate my nerves. She sent pictures of them everyday, left detailed daily memos of when she arrived/left, everything she did and how they behaved. She brushed them, cleaned up after them and truly went above and beyond. Her love of kitties is obvious, my girls certainly warmed up to her. Highly recommend. I've already asked Sandra to watch my kitties again!

Sandra is the best pet sitter I have ever had. Great communication, very thorough, attentive to every detail, and really enjoys caring for your pet as if it was her own. She is my go-to sitter and I highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs.
