About
I’m an animal lover at heart. Cats were my first pets, and I adore animals of all kinds. Dogs, birds, chinchillas, you name it. I offer reliable house and pet sitting, drop-ins, meds, feeding, and walks.
Your pet’s health, happiness, and routine always come first, and I treat your home with care. I provide timely updates after every visit so you can travel or rest easy, knowing your pets are safe, loved, and in good hands

Thanks John! I love working with you, Skye and Maverick. My arm sure gets tired after throwing the frisbee around but it’s worth it to see Mav enjoy himself haha.

Happy Paws for the win. I traveled for a week, and when I got back my two cats who would normally be weird and freaked out after my return, hardly noticed me walking through the front door. You know you have a good cat sitter when you get back in your cats keep sleeping as you walk through the front door ha ha!
My cat care is not easy, so I really appreciate the extra care that Happy Paws showed. Cannot recommend highly enough!

I recently took my first trip away from my puppy, and was so nervous about leaving her in someone else’s care. Mimi made me feel so at ease while I was away, sending little updates and pictures where it was clear my pet was perfectly content. She took care of everything with kindness, professionalism, and great communication. Beyond checking every box one could hope for from a pet sitter, she genuinely connects with the animals. She provided complete peace of mind during my trip and my girl was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for upon my return!

You might consider prequalifying the people that you advertise. You said I’d hear something in 1 to 2 hours two weeks before I’ve got my first email I responded and still haven’t heard back. No need to refer any further. I’m done.
Details: Dog • 2 pets • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer discounts for multiple walks per week and overnights 10+ days. I’m flexible and can try to find something that will work for both of us.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we do a meet and greet, typically at your home. If the animal and I are a good match, we can set up dates you’ll need care for them.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I love working with any animals except for dogs who are known to bite. Anxious or very excitable dogs are fine. But a dog who has a past of biting is a no-go for me. I have no breed restrictions, I love them all!
