Pet & Home Services
I am an experienced pet owner and pet sitter, caring for all types including small to very large dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, turtles and tortoises, even crazy crabs, horse, cattle, chickens, and more. I care for your pets in your home as I find it less disruptive for them and my personal pets. I typically service neighborhoods close to my home base, including Castle Pines, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, and Castle Rock. For service outside these areas, please contact me for pricing.
Curious why I charge what I do, why I do not encourage dog parks, other questions that come up, and what makes me different. Explore my Pet & House-Sitting FAQ page.

Going Above & Beyond
with Your Home
As a service orientated person, I love to leave my client's home better than I found it. While there are no guarantees, you might find your fridge cleaner, a pantry more organized, windows easier to look out, or just cleaner and tidier than you left it.
If you have specific service needs such as my organizing and decluttering services, that should be discussed at the time of our meet and greet. You can also explore my Organizing and Decluttering information page, and other Project Services page.
Deep cleans are available and priced based on the square footage of the home or number of hours.

Pet Training
Pet Training & Positive Reinforcement
Are you working on crate training, leash pulling, challenging greeting people behavior, etc.? Dependent on the behavior, you can request I work on it, or I will suggest and ask your permission.
When I first greet your pet, I like to ignore them or when letting them out of a crate, I wait for them to be calm. My goal is not to promote unwanted behaviors.
