Yes, I am insured through Pet Sitters Associates LLC.
During 28 years of painting clients' homes, I have never made a single insurance claim! I am continuing this trend with pet sitting. My present insurance covers not only your property, but your pets.

Dogs, cats, herps, ferrets, "pocket pets" like hamsters and sugar gliders, aquariums and ponds, birds and some farm animals. I have also owned rabbits, chickens, ducks and goats.

I have little experience with horses but can refer you to an excellent sitter who regularly cares for equines.

While you're on vacation, your pets will be more comfortable in familiar surroundings! Most animals - especially cats - are very stressed when boarded. Additionally, you will have the added security of daily home checks, plant watering, snow shoveling, trash out, poop pickup, etc.

Sure! I will make every effort to accommodate you and your pets if you are working a long day, have to leave home unexpectedly or decide on a last minute "up North" weekend.

Daily vigorous walks are a great stress-reliever for younger and high-energy dogs. "A Tired Dog Is A Good Dog."  Older dogs who may not be able to comfortably hold it during your long work days will appreciate a potty relief break. Puppies benefit from day time potty breaks too - this will hasten housetraining.

I am experienced with "challenging" dogs. I will reinforce any training you have implemented, using only *positive* methods - treats, toys, lots of affection.

Please let me know if your dog has a history of aggression or biting. We may be able to work that out but it will require at least one trial visit, which will be paid for at the regular rate. Most dogs who aggress do so out of stress, and it takes them a little longer to get used to new people. If I feel I cannot safely handle your dog I can refer you to some very good boarding and care facilities.

I require two copies of your house key. In case one breaks or gets locked inside your home by mistake, I will always have a backup key which will be kept secure inside my home. If at any time you wish to discontinue service you will get both copies back. My insurance covers lost keys and re-keying your locks in the highly unlikely event both keys get lost!

Sure thing! We will go over any special needs at the initial consultation.
You will sign a vet release form in case of medical emergencies and I will keep that along with your veterinarian's contact info.

I have two vehicles and a bicycle. :) Seriously, in the event of an emergency preventing me from visiting your home, I have a friend and associate pet sitter in Oakland County who can fill in for me. If this is a concern, I can put you in touch with her.

I accept cash, checks, money orders and credit cards through PayPal. For extended absences, payment is due at start of service. Regular and ongoing clients will be billed monthly.

Contented pets happy to see you, and a clean, secure house. I will leave a daily written log of how your pets did. I can email you photos in your absence, too. If you have any special requests, let me know!

You will need to call me on your return so I know your home and pets are being cared for.
