A Higher Standard of Care

And why many families choose me, even at higher rates

When you invite someone into your home to care for your beloved pet, you’re not hiring a teenager or a hobby sitter — you’re entrusting a living, feeling family member to a trained professional. My rates reflect a level of care that goes far beyond feeding and walking.

They reflect safety, skill, consistency, and peace of mind.

Here’s what sets my services apart:

1. Professional Training & Behavioral Knowledge

As a pet sitter and a dog trainer, I can read body language, prevent stress, monitor subtle changes in behavior, and support pets with anxiety, reactivity, or special needs.
Most sitters do not have this expertise.

This means:

  • safer interactions

  • calmer pets

  • fewer incidents

  • better routines

  • immediate recognition if something is “off”

Your pet isn’t simply being watched — they’re being understood.

2. Reliability You Can Count On

I don’t double-book, disappear, or squeeze in clients “when I can.”
Your pet receives my full focus.

You get:

  • guaranteed visits

  • consistent timing

  • dedicated communication

  • updates you can depend on

  • a professional who respects your home and privacy

This is the opposite of gig apps or casual sitters.

3. In-Home Care That Maintains Stability

Pets thrive on routine, and my stays are designed to preserve that familiar rhythm.
I keep their environment predictable, comforting, and calm.

You’re not paying for hours of “labor.”
You’re paying for hours of presence, reassurance, safety, and continuity.

That’s what keeps pets relaxed while you’re away.

4. Specialized Care for Complex Needs

I accommodate:

  • elderly pets

  • anxious or shy pets

  • separation anxiety

  • medication routines

  • mobility assistance

  • extra monitoring

  • individual quirks and preferences

Premium care is not a luxury to these animals, it’s support they truly need.

5. Thoughtful Communication (Without Interrupting Your Trip)

You’ll receive:

  • clear, warm updates

  • photos

  • behavior notes

  • anything notable or adorable

  • immediate alerts if something needs attention

You stay informed without feeling overwhelmed.

6. A Tidy, Respectful Presence in Your Home

Lights adjusted, plants watered, trash out, mail gathered. Your home remains cared for while you’re away.

Small touches create big peace of mind.

7. A Mary Poppins–Inspired Approach

Calm. Capable. Unflustered.
A gentle presence who makes everything run smoothly — as if by magic.

I bring structure, kindness, and a sprinkle of cheer to every visit.

In short:

My pricing reflects the value of a professional who provides:
Safety • Emotional wellbeing • Training knowledge • Consistency • Respect • Reliability • Calm leadership • And genuine love for your animals.

For families who want premium, worry-free care — this is exactly what you’re paying for.
