Introduction: If you want someone that will treat your pet as one of their own I'm for you. The first step is to meet with you and your pet/pets and get a full history of their health, feeding, medications, likes and dislikes. I will start interacting with them and give medications if needed. This will help with bonding and earning the trust that will lessen their stress while you are away. I have 30 years experience walking and sitting for my clients. I usually walk a dog ( I have cared for everything from small terriers to mastiffs) for 30 minutes. With cats after their feeding I like to play with them to burn off any energy or just sit and pet them. I know all the spots they like. Many times they just curl up next to me and take a nap. I was raised with the usual cats, dogs and birds and loved animals since I put my cat in my doll carriage and a hat on my dog. I try to go the extra mile for my clients. One such. pet was a large dog that needed a special diet every three hours by hand. This was on New Years Eve. On another occasion I boarded a pug that had to have meds every 4 hours for one week. I also help them in given Lactated Ringers fluids to their pet. I'm Bonded and available 24/7 References on request

Jody has been my cat sitter for almost 14 years now. My cat, Honey, sees Jody as a play date because that's what it's like when Jody comes over. She spends quality time with Honey which gives me tremendous peace of mind.

She has been sitting for our various cats for more than 10 years. She feeds them, interacts with them, examines them for their health and cleans the litter box. She will also bring in the mail and newspapers if you ask. We couldn't travel without her.

This lady is amazing. She really has a special way with animals and a unique approach that keeps them at ease. We were having much difficulty administering subcutaneous fluids to our kitty who has kidney problems until we found Jody. With every one of the four vet techs we tried before Jody the cat protested and struggled to get away from the needle, but Jody showed us a new approach where the cat is not restrained and accepts the fluids treatment without getting upset or making a fuss. Thanks to Jody my wife and I are now able to give our kitty the fluids she needs on our own without any outside help. That is exactly what we were looking to learn how to do, and Jody was able to teach us that skill in such a way that it is no longer a big stressful deal for either the kitty, or us. Jody really loves animals and I am enthusiastic in giving her my highest rating and recommendation.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    The first phone call is the first contact where we discuss pets, time away from them and any medical problems and if I would be a good fit. The next step is a visit to the home and interact with the pet/pets.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have spent the last 25 years trying to help control the feral cat and ten care for them. The kittens could socialized and good to good homes
