Areas of Expertise - (Pet Sitting)
Are you considering a move to the Ann Arbor area? New to the area? You are probably aware of how stressful a move can be for your pets, too! It's important to establish a trusted individual who will be around to care for them who they know they - and you - can count on.
Do you have a very young pet who needs extra TLC in your absense and kenneling is not right for you? Or, if you have a pet who is advanced in age and would benefit from a familiar face checking in on them - taking the extra time to address their specific needs, then you're in luck.
I have expertise in animal health, nutrition and behavior. Mine is a holistic approach all the way around. Each pet is treated as an individual, and their specific needs are addressed accordingly. Bischons have different needs than Rottweilers, just as the needs of a Devon Rex differ from that of a Domestic Shorthair. As you will learn about me, I am a pet parent, first and foremost. I have the same concerns about the treatment and well-being of my pets as you do yours.
You get the benefits of a housesitter when you book my services as well, to give your home that 'lived-in' look while you are away. I bring in mail, water plants, alternate light, set sleep timers to radio/TV, shovel/salt walkways if needed and check your home for security and safety.
My business is not limited to cats and dogs. I also have experience with birds, like Cockatoos and Mustache Parakeets, too. Additionally, my experience extends into the arena of caring for frogs, anoles and the like. Have a pot bellied pig, rats/mice, pet snake or other 'unusual' pet? I welcome those on my schedule as well!
About Me
I am a fellow pet owner, first and foremost! I believe it takes a
village to raise healthy, well-adjusted animals. My partner
Chris and I own 2 large breed dogs - Gretchen, a St. 
Bernard/Shepard mix, who is 10 and Bruiser, an 9 year old
Lab/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. Silver, a 12 year old domestic
shorthair cat rounds out the family.
I've helped pet parents attain peace of mind by scheduling
vacation visits 2-3 x per day. I work with dogs who need daily
30 minute playtime visits to help build confidence and proper
socialization - or to just be a dog and burn off a little of that
extra energy! I care for aging dogs who need that extra bit of
care when Mom and Dad can't be there. I've assisted families
with new puppies and kittens by scheduling regular visits for
potty breaks to facilitate easier housebreaking, and better
results with obedience training. Additionally, I have assisted
clients pets who are entering their end-of-life stage, with extra
care and attention, just when they need it. There are many
more benefits to implementing my services.
My philosophy as I said before is that it takes a village to raise
healthy, well-adjusted pets. The core of that is trust, a caring
attitude and being truly knowledgeable about our pets. The
pets that I care for are like an extension of my own family. I look
forward to welcoming yours as well.
