I WILL be finishing all already-booked visits!

However, for a few weeks, I won't be accepting new ones. I was hit by another car while at a stop. Both me and my car took a hit. I have a mild concussion. My car is... technically "driveable" but not really all that safe.

It hurts to have to say it, but if you're interested in donating to a GoFundMe to help me stay on my feet until the crash report comes in and their insurance pays out, here's the link. https://gofund.me/8144ff81e

I know everyone is feeling the economic pinch, and probably most people don't have anything to spare. But every little bit is deeply appreciated. I just want to get back to my life and my work.

Hi, I'm Syl. On Thursday, I was hit by another car while at a stop. My car is… Sylvia Christy needs your support for Help Syl Recover and Get Back on the Road

Titan turned right as I took his picture and it turned out perfectly. I love him. Stopping to sniff the wildflowers is good for the soul.

Just a pup with a cozy bed, his favorite toy, and lots of sunshine. Enjoy the nap, Bear-bug!

Services and Rates for Summer 2026

I offer WALKS at $20 for a 30-minute walk. If your dog needs longer, I am happy to schedule two consecutive slots for you! Walks are always on-lead. I do not allow strange dogs or people to approach your dog unless you specify otherwise, as your dog’s safety is my first concern. I always carry clean-up bags and treats with me, too! There is a $5 fee for each additional pet I'll be caring for.

I offer IN HOME PETSITTING at $20 for a 30-minute visit. If your pets need longer, I am happy to schedule two consecutive slots for you! With this type of booking, I look after your pets in your home. Food, water, playtime, medications, and outside time are all included and I will follow your instructions exactly in order to stick to your pet’s usual routine. There is a $5 fee for each additional pet I'll be caring for.

I cannot offer housesitting or boarding at this time. But if you need recommendations for a boarding kennel or housesitter, I’m happy to oblige! I know some excellent boarding/daycare facilities in town!

If your pet is ill or disabled and needs special care, please let me know! I want to customize your experience (and your pet’s!) as much as possible. Keeping ”furbabies” healthy and happy is the most important part of what I do!

I will NEVER punish an animal. Instead, I will divert them, and reward the desired behavior. Our pets are our family, and yours deserve the same love and respect as mine.

For more information, you can reach out to me via Facebook Messenger or by phone. If your inquiry comes in overnight or while I am working, I will respond as soon as posible.

Note for upcoming holidays: I will be charging a base fee of $25 as Holiday Rates from November 27-30, for Thanksgiving weekend.

Notes for spring/summer holidays: I will charge holiday rates ($5 per booking) for the following

Memorial Day weekend, May 22-25
Juneteenth weekend, June 19-21
Independence Day weekend, July 3-5

Hi everybody!

I just wanted to let you know of some upcoming changes. Starting Monday, May 4, I will be implementing a 24-hour's notice rule, both for bookings and cancellations. In order for a booking to be accepted, the request must be made 24 hours in advance. If a booking is cancelled within 24 hours of the requested time, clients will be billed 50% of the quoted cost. I will of course handle emergency requests on a case by case basis. I understand that hospital visits happen.

For example, if I quoted someone $20 and they cancelled with less than a day's notice, I would bill them $10. But that is only per booking. If someone booked me for the week and let me know Sunday night that they dodn't neeed me Monday morning, I would charge 50% for Monday but 0% for the rest of the week.

I will also be typing up contracts and info sheets that I can email to clients. They can be printed and filled in, or be used as fillable .pdf files. This way, we can each have a signed, dated copy of information provided. It will also help me keep client records up to date and ensure we're all working from the same info. I'll let you know when they are available.

I want to streamline scheduling, and make it so that we all have relevant information, so that I can ensure quality care for pets, peace of mind for clients, and safety for all involved.

Please let me know if you have questions or suggestions! I love the input.

LOOK at him. Just look!

Just a heads up that I may be a tad slow to respond to messages for a day or two. Nothing major; just feeling a bit under the weather. It won't affect existing bookings.
