Fern's Pet & House Sitting

Introduction: I am a strong, healthy, mature woman who doesn't party or bring strangers to my client's homes. I write books about caregiving and have cared for my parents since 2016. I shut down my pet website then. My father passed away in 2021 and my mother is now in assisted living, so I am returning to pet sitting in a new city and state. I miss my animal friends! I spend most of my day with the pets, in the home. I leave people's homes as I found them, or better. I have experience with dogs of all sizes (from Yorkie to Leonberger/Great Danes), cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, horses, chickens. I've watched over homes from mobile homes to 10,000 square foot homes, and some properties with a barn or pool house in the back. I've supervised construction, housekeeping, farm hands and landscapers while sitting. Unconditional love is a wonderful thing. When pets enjoy their time with me, following their own routine, and eating their own food, they don't feel anxious about being separated from their humans. :-) Clients say things like their animals didn't even miss them; the house was better than when they left it; how can my cat/dog be in your lap in one hour when it takes days and multiple visits with other sitters? I am happy to provide references and/or photos of me with my pet clients. I am fully insured for pet and house sitting. Copies of insurance and references available upon request. Looking forward to talking with you!
