I will love your animals as much as you do, when you are away. Several of my clients have told me that their pets look disappointed when they come home. I do tend to spoil them a bit. :) Some of my regulars (pets) sure let me know they're happy to see me when I walk through the door.
I love just hanging out with all my adopted fur kids. I try my hardest to stay around the house with them for extended periods of time, so they aren't lonely.
I’m also available for just straightforward housesitting, without pets. I know some people like the house to appear as if someone is home, when they are gone. I also can water and pick up mail.

Cindy took care of my five cats and I would highly recommend her! She was professional, responsive, and flexible with what I needed. With 5 cats all having different personalities and needs, we had some specific instructions so that everything would go smoothly, and Cindy understood this and took great care of the cats. She was very responsive when I had questions or when I checked in on the cats. I really recommend Cindy’s pet sitting services!

Highly Recommend Cindy as a Pet Sitter
Cindy has been an amazing hire and I cannot recommend her enough. She was always punctual, dependable, and extremely respectful of our home. While I was out of town, she took excellent care of my dogs and made sure all of their needs were fully met.
She communicated with me consistently, sending updates and check-ins that gave me great peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cares about animals and treats them with love and attention, not just as a job but as a responsibility she takes seriously.
Cindy followed all instructions perfectly, handled daily routines without any issues, and was attentive to any special needs or concerns. Knowing she is local was also a huge plus—it made scheduling easy and added an extra layer of reliability.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter, Cindy is an excellent choice. I would absolutely hire her again without hesitation.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I quote my price as per day which includes the overnight stay, so technically it equals a 24 hour period. But, if on the last day you are expected home later than 1pm, and I possibly will need to feed the animals dinner, than I count that as a full day.
I also do drop-in visits, which are very common for cats. I can do either a half hour visit, or a full hour.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have a friend that I worked with in a different job, and she also did pet sitting on the side. She was starting to get too busy, and I had mentioned at some point that I had done some myself, and would be willing to help her out if needed. She asked for help, and the work just blossomed from there.
What types of customers have you worked with?
My favorite is to stay at the client house, with the animals, for extended overnights. I will keep their routine as normal as possible, and help keep the animals as stress free as possible. I do feeding, some walking, similar night time routines they are used to(like if they want to sleep with me in the bed), and anything else the animals need.
