Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: We all have busy lives and deserve to get away now and then. Understandably, your pets are a precious family member, and it can be a struggle in deciding what is the best care for them while you are away. I have found that my own pets are much happier when they can remain at their home and be cared for by a loving care provider. This is why pet sitting is such a valuable service today. I have lived with many pets during my lifetime, including rabbits, hamsters, pheasants, fish, and hermit crabs. I'm even quite fascinated with snakes, as long as they are nonvenomous! Some of the services I provide are listed below. If you don't see what you are looking for, just ask. Chances are, I can accommodate you! * Feeding * Walking * Playtime * Midday breaks * Transportation to vet appointments or groomers Also, I will provide such services as watering plants, bringing in newspaper and mail, and rotating blinds and alternating lights to provide a lived-in look while you are away. A Little About Me: I'm a graduate of High Point University and a certified payroll professional. I have worked in payroll for most of my adult life but am currently seeking to spend time growing my pet sitting business. Thank you in advance for considering me for your pet sitting needs!

Barbara has watched our cats multiple times and has always done an outstanding job! Not only will I use her services again, I would definitely recommend her to others.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I have always loved animals and nature. When you work inside at a desk for 40 hours or more each week, a feeling of being disconnected with family and nature starts to develop. That's why I have always spent as much time on the weekends outside running at the lake and seeking nature. It truly is therapy! My decision to concentrate on building my pet sitting business wasn't very difficult. Spending more time with pets and the opportunity to be outside on the move is always a winner for me.
