Fern's Pet & House Sitting

I am a mature woman who doesn't party or bring strangers to my client's homes. I am a memoir ghostwriter and write my own books about caregiving. I cared for my parents since 2016. I shut down my pet website when my family called me into service. My father passed away in 2021 and my mother is now in assisted living in NY, so I am returning to pet sitting in a new city and state. I've missed my animal friends! I spend most of my day with your pets, in their home. I leave people's homes as I found them, or better. I have experience with dogs of all sizes (from Yorkie to Leonberger/Great Danes), cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, horses, and chickens. I've watched over homes from mobile homes to 10,000-square-foot homes and some properties with a barn or pool house in the back. I've supervised construction, housekeeping, farm hands, and landscaping while sitting. Unconditional love is a wonderful thing. When pets enjoy their time with me, following their own routine, and eating their own food, they don't feel anxious about being separated from their humans. :-) Clients say things like their animals didn't even miss them; the house was better than when they left it; how can my cat/dog be in your lap in one hour when it takes days and multiple visits with other sitters? My process is to talk with you on the phone first, then have a home visit before confirming any sitting engagements. I will send you an agreement with all the terms clearly defined for your review and acceptance. I will ask you to complete a multi-page pet information sheet to ensure I have what I need in any situation in case I can't reach you. I require a deposit to hold the dates and final payment is due on the last day of pet sitting. I accept cash, Zelle, and credit cards. The daily fee is for 8 hours or more. I am happy to provide references and/or photos of me with my pet clients. I am fully insured for pet and house sitting. Copies of insurance and references are available upon request. If you are looking for a professional with a "pet whisperer" vibe and lots of love to share with your pet family, I look forward to talking with you!
