Who is Artemis Pet Care?

I'm Allison, and I work at a veterinary clinic with many years of experience in animal care. Over time, numerous clients began asking me to pet-sit, and I quickly discovered how much I enjoy providing personalized care for pets in the comfort of their own homes. This environment allows pets to feel relaxed and truly show their unique personalities. I initially started pet-sitting through Rover, but now I book directly with pet owners to offer more affordable and transparent pricing without any extra fees. My top priority is to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and happy while I’m with them. I’m also fully capable of administering medications, including injections, should your pet require them. To build trust and understanding, I always schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand, so you, your pets, and I can get to know each other and discuss any specific care instructions or special needs your pet may have.

  • I have always had an appreciation for Greek Mythology and other similar topics. My own cats are named after Greek Myth figures, Hermes, Perseus, and Odysseus. Artemis is the Greek Goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and wild animals and has always been one of my favorites in the Greek pantheon. In short, it sounded cool, and embraces one of the many topics of my interest!

  • Daytime Availability
    I work full-time at a veterinary clinic Monday–Thursday, with occasional Saturday shifts. Pet sitting is my secondary role, and availability is based on my clinic schedule.

    I can provide care for pets that are comfortable being alone for approximately 5–6 hours at a time. On workdays, I am available for:

    • Morning care (breakfast/potty) before 7:30 a.m.

    • Midday check-ins during my one-hour lunch break.

    • Evening care after 6:30 p.m., including dinner, potty breaks, and playtime.

    From Friday–Sunday, I am generally more flexible and able to accommodate pets with higher-needs schedules or more frequent outings. On the occasions I work a Saturday shift, my hours are 7:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m.

    Nighttime Hours Availability

    I can either stay overnight in your home or return to my own home and return early in the morning—whichever best suits your preferences and your pets’ needs.

    Location Availability

    I am currently available to service homes within the red-bordered area on the map. This is due to my limited lunch break availability, as I need enough time to leave my clinic, visit your home to check on your pets, and return to the clinic within my one-hour lunch period.

  • For pet sitting in the comfort of your home, I always strive to go with the natural flow of your pet’s personality and needs. I’ll want to learn about their usual daily routine, including feeding times, playtime, and rest periods, so that I can do my very best to match it as closely as possible. If your furry friend has high energy levels and loves to spend time running and playing outside in the yard, I will make sure they have plenty of active playtime to keep them happy and healthy. On the other hand, if your pet prefers a more relaxed day, enjoying gentle cuddles and quiet moments on a cozy lap, I am absolutely there to provide that calm companionship. My goal is to ensure their day with me is as low-stress and enjoyable as possible, and the best way to achieve that is by honoring their familiar routines as much as I can. (Plus, I’m always happy to offer treats where appropriate to brighten their day!)

  • I require at least one meet and greet before booking your initial pet sit. This is to ensure that I am the right fit for your pet's needs. I will always book a meet and greet as soon as possible to ensure that if we are not the best fit, you will have time to find a more appropriate care taker.

    To ensure I can provide the best experience for your pet, I will have a list of questions to go over at our first Meet and Greet including: What time do they eat? How many meals per day? How much and of what types of food? Do they take any medications or supplements and when? What does a typical day look like for your pet? Do they have any routines that I should adhere to? And more.

  • Payment Types Accepted

    • Your invoice will be sent to you 1 week prior to your reserved pet sitting dates.

    • We accept all major credit and debit cards, plus Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Klarna/Afterpay.

    Tipping Policy

    • I do not expect to receive tips for my pet sitting, as my prices are carefully set to cover both my services and the time I dedicate to your pet’s care.

    • If you would like to leave a tip or I have provided additional services that you would like to compensate me for, you are welcome to use my tipping/donations page!

    Cancellation Policy

    • We understand that plans occasionally change and strive to be as accommodating as possible. Cancellations made more than 48 hours prior to the scheduled start date will receive a full refund. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the start date are eligible for a 50% refund of the total pre-paid booking.

    • If the sitter cancels the visit for any reason, payment will be refunded in full for any days that services are not provided.
