Pet Sitters Need Time Off Too
Working 7 days a week, week after week, was starting to wear me down. While I love pet sitting and spending time with your pets, I do also need some down time to just sleep in late or spend some time with my own family and pets or sometimes a chance to just get away. I will now be scheduling occasional weekends or even just a day off here and there. This time is important to me so I can continue to be the best pet sitter I can be. Instead of getting burnt out I will come back refreshed and ready to go and looking forward to doing my job. Also my daughter is playing on a basketball team that will be attending some tournaments out of state and I really want to be there for her. In a few more years she will be off to college so this last family time is important to us all. I hope you will understand.
As soon as I know any dates they will be posted on this website. If you need pet sitting services during these times you can try calling some of the nearby sitters listed on the Other Area Sitters page. Thank you!
Cancellations
Please be aware of my cancellation policy. 72 hours notice must be given for all cancellations or you will be charged for the visit. This applies to all visits except for regularly scheduled daily visits which must give cancellation notice by 7:30 a.m.
Please remember to make your reservations early! I only accept a very limited number
of sits to ensure that each pet gets the care they deserve and I often get booked up. If you are a new client I need time to do an initial consultation before starting service. Thank you!
ALL pet sitting requests made with less than 48 hours notice will be charged an additional $5 per visit. I have been lax about enforcing this in the past but can not continue to do so. Thank you for your understanding.

My dog, Xena, learned how to open the front door on her own so then I had to teach her how to shut it. Click here to see her in action.
