Why Choose “Whole Petsitting”?

 

To Promote Your Pet’s Wellness

Give your pet(s) the luxury of staying in their own home with familiar environment, daily routines and diet.   Your pets maintain their level of physical fitness through consistent participation in exercise routines and physical health is protected by avoiding safety risks, barking noise stress and contractible illness that can sometimes occur as a result of boarding.

You and your sensitive pet will be more relaxed as you enjoy increased freedom from worry about your pet’s care and the stress associated with transportation to and from the boarding facility.

 

I provide more than physical care for your animal(s).  My goal is to greet the animals brought into my life with great respect and honor.  Each petsitting experience is a gift that allows me the opportunity to offer my presence, loving care and gifts as a healing practitioner.  My hope is that while you are away, your pet and I will journey together in a manner which will leave both of us in a greater state of well-being.

About Me

I am a teacher with two kids in college.  Growing up on a small farm, planted the seeds for my love of animals to grow at an early age.  I have memories of premature spring lambs running across our kitchen floor to receive their warm milk bottles, Red, our big Irish Setter sprawling all over me in bed at night and flying through the air when Blaze, our Quarter horse got tired of my bareback shenanigans.  Then of course, there were the critters that lived on the acres of wild land surrounding my home-the glistening rainbow scaled trout, the incredible mazes of dams the beavers constructed….. Growing up in a family of 6 children on a teacher’s salary meant I received the gift of finding comfort and recreation in our natural world.  It’s no wonder, after years of busyness within our modern culture; animals and nature have called me back for re-awakening and alignment.
