A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
This is it. This is all I want to do. I just want to look after animals and help humans along the way.
My niche is giving the dedicated, loving humans with special needs animal family members a break from the upkeep and compassion fatigue that comes with being a caregiver.

For booking, contact me directly at info@petsitterhouseminder.com
IN OTHER NEWS:
I want to thank everyone for booking so much! Summer 2025 is full, and my next availability is in October.
​
Due to looming human caretaking responsibilities for my family members, I am only taking dates for 2025 until further notice. I will not take any more dates for 2026 until I have more information about my family and what they will need from me. As soon as I know what 2026 is going to look like for family members with new diagnoses and what it will do to my availability for my pet sitting business, I will let you know. Thank you for understanding!
Very important: Some of you who follow me on social media are familiar with Gelsomina, one the cats I pet sit who went missing. After extensive searching, she was found. Gelsomina has passed away. Her former search update site is now a little memorial site. I'll leave it up for a bit longer:

SERVICES AND FEES
PET WALKING
I'll walk your pet/pets on their regular route, or take them to the dog park, off to the trails, or down the shore, if you like!
Not a dog? Not a problem! Where there's a harness, there's a way. Does your bird, or rat, or pet pig, or goat, etc. love to take a stroll around the neighborhood? I'll get them all geared up, and we'll have grand old time!
​
Coming soon: Package deals and online payments right here on my website! Stay tuned for more details!
​
NOTE: All walkies paid in advance. PayPal preferred. No refunds. If a walk/stop-in gets cancelled, you'll get a walk credit for future services. Win-win!
$50/hour - 1/2 hour minimum
NEW! MISSING PET CAMPAIGN
(you do not need to be a pet sitting client for this service)
PawBoost listing with SmartMatch activated, 1 custom-made search update website complete with original, non-AI content, 50 laminated flyers sent directly to you, up to 1 full month of social media engagement
NO FEE, DONATIONS APPRECIATED
I can only do social media management for one missing pet at a time. If your pet is found deceased, I will turn the search update website into a memorial website for free
​
​
VACATION PET SITTING
I can stop in or stay, depending on the duration of the sit. All dogs are an automatic on-site stay for the psychological wellbeing, as are all cat or bird sits longer than 3 days. No exceptions.
​
NOTE: As of 11/21/2023, I can no longer do farm sits
​
Are you a hunter with a pack or in the far north with sled dogs? I understand the difference between companion and working animals, and so long as their treatment is humane and their physical condition is good, I can work with that.
Are you outside of the US in need of a pet/farm sitter? Get in touch! When my schedule allows, I can travel to your location to provide love and support for your animals!
​
Are you a public figure looking for a zero-drama animal caretaker who knows how to work with respect for your property, discretion, NDAs, and highly trained security dogs? Get in touch today!
NOTE: 50% up-front, non-refundable deposit for all stayover pet sits at the time of booking. If you should cancel, the deposit will be applied to future bookings. Win-win!
$50/hour for stop-ins - 1/2 hour minimum; $150/24-hour stayover, 1/2 day minimum to start. Contact me to discuss farm sits, out-of-state, international, and extended sit rates.
