  • 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.

    That said, I enlist the help of my partner to ensure that your pet’s needs are always met if I am caught up at the vet clinic and unable to get to them at any designated check in times.

    Nighttime Availability

    Depending on your preference, we can stay overnight in your home to be with your pet through the night (this is the most popular preference of most of out pet sits) or we can do a last late-night check in and return early in the morning for the pet’s next check in —whichever best suits your preferences and your pets’ needs.

    Location Availability

    We are based out of St. Louis Park, Minnesota and can service homes within a 12 mile radius from our area (shown on the map with a paw print).

    **We may be able to service homes that are further out on a case by case basis. Further locations may be subject to an additional service fee depending on distance.**

  • 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.

  • 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. You are also welcome to pay by cash or check if you would prefer. An emailed invoice will still be sent for your records.

    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.

  • I have always had an appreciation for Greek Mythology and other similar topics. 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 interests.

    Additionally, our own cats are named after Greek Myth figures: Hermes, Perseus, and Odysseus.
