Meet your Sitters: Beth & John
A Lifetime of Experience and Heart
After more than 30 years of combined experience of privately caring for pets, we began offering our trusted services to the public in June 2025. We have been devoted to the animal's well-being since we were both kids. From barn chores to bottle feeding, animal care has always been part of our daily lives and our greatest joy.
We've worked with animals of all types, but our passion and specialty lies with horses. Together, we have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, small animals, livestock, exotics, and especially equines. Together, we share our lives with a loyal pack of dogs, our beloved horses (boarded nearby), and one very spirited mouse named Sergeant Whiskers.
Our dream is to one day own a big property where we can rescue animals in need and provide safe, loving in-home care to pets of all kinds. Until then, we bring our dedication, knowledge, and compassion directly to your doorstep - treating every pet like family.
Let us care for your animals the way we do our own - with love, patience , and experienced hands.

Why It's Important to Keep Your Pets in Their Own Home
Comfort, Security, and Happiness Start at Home
When pets are cared for in their own home, they experience far less stress and anxiety. Home is where they feel safe---surrounded by familiar scents, sounds, and routines. By staying in their own environment, they can relax and enjoy the comfort of their daily life, even when you're away.
Keeping Their Everyday Routines
Just like people, pets thrive on consistency. Maintaining their normal schedule for:
- Feeding at the same times each day
- Sleeping in their favorite spots
- Playtime and interaction with familiar toys.
- Walks along their usual routes
...helps them fell secure and content. A consistent routine also helps avoid issues such as anxiety, appetite changes, or unwanted behaviors that can arise from sudden changes in environment or schedule.
Why Enrichment Matters
Enrichment keeps pets mentally stimulated, physically active, and emotionally happy. This includes:
- Engaging play sessions
- Puzzle toys and treat challenges
- Training games
- Exploration and sniff walks for dogs
- Gentle handling, grooming, or perching time for other species
Enrichment is especially important when owners are away because it helps reduce boredom and loneliness. A well-stimulated pet is a healthier, happier pet-- and more relaxed when you return home.
Bottom Line:
Pet sitting in your home means your pets enjoy the comfort of familiar surroundings, the security of their routine, and the benefits of engaging, loving care-- all without the stress of being moved to a new place.
Meet & Greet Appointment
We require a complimentary Meet & Greet before any new service begins.
This initial visit gives us the chance to:
- Get to know you and your pet's in a relaxed and familiar environment.
- Learn about your pet's routines, habits, personalities, and any special needs.
- Review feeding, walking, medication, or other service instructions.
- Walk through your home or barn to discuss access, security, and any other tasks.
- Answer any questions you have about our services and policies.
A deposit will be collected at this time to confirm your booking, and the remaining balance will be due at the end of the service.
Our goal is to make sure you feel completely comfortable and confident leaving your beloved pets in our care. We look forward to meeting you and your furry ( or hooved!) family members soon!
