ALLOW ME TO TAKE OVER YOUR PET'S NEEDS WHILE YOU'RE AWAY!
DOG & CAT LOVERS - LIVE-IN-PET'S-HOME-DAY & OVERNIGHT PET SITTING - Undivided attention, one family at a time in the comfort of your own home! These overnight pet care services are ideal for pet owners who want to ensure their pets receive undivided attention and care during the extended nighttime hours in addition to the daytime, helping everyone rest easy. Specializing but not limited to senior pets and pets with separation anxiety. If I leave your home and pets during the daytime your pets will not be left for anything more than a deli stop or 1-2 drop-in visits to other pets. I will not fill up my schedule with more than 2 "other pet visits" during my stay with your pets. On most dates I don't have a need to leave at all! This is truly an undivided attention pet care service!
POTTY BREAK VISITS/DOG WALKS Are your love bugs pacing, peering out the window wondering when you will return to relieve them or give them their daily exercise? Potty breaks for your dog with exercise and neighborhood sniffing stops are just what they need. Let's go for a walk or if you prefer my letting them out in their own fenced in backyard to fetch their frisbee or just to go potty and enjoy catching a breeze. I am at your service!
Get peace of mind knowing your pet is being taken care of. This is one of my most popular services and fills up fast. Get in touch soon if you're interested in this service.
CAT LOVERS - Cats are one of the world’s free spirits and there is more to knowing and loving a cat than anyone could possibly imagine. Cats, cats, cats! Owning cats has never been cooler. This cat parent loves all things cats and is proud to show it.
I’m here for cat lovers who want to unlock a paws-itive experience for their cats. Consider On The Ball a fascinating look at the wisdom that can be found in my affection for cats.
What's your cat's purrsonality?
“The Homebody”
Lover of all things cozy, expert snuggler, giver of affection, and a self-care advocate.
“The Extrovert”
Hello, social butterfly! You love to talk, be around people, entertain, and… did we mention talk? Some consider you *slightly* high maintenance… but really you just have high standards for who you surround yourself with, and that’s A-Okay.
“The Introvert with a Twist”
You like people… but you like having QUIET time with your people. While you find peace in lounging, once you’re recharged, you get a BURST of playful energy until your next quiet-time session.
“The Energizer Bunny”
You know one speed… FAST. So you’re always seeking an adventure.
“The Intellectual”
People often tell you how intelligent you are, but you’re not JUST smarts… you’re also friendly, sociable, and loyal. The total package!
Updates and photos can be sent if you wish so you can see your kitty warming right up for petting, treats, brushing and playing with their favorite toys.
Litter boxes, food, water bowls, hairballs or out of box accidents will all be maintained, cleaned up thoroughly. Your time away will be made so much easier!
BIRD LOVERS - On The Ball Is For The Birds!!
Caring for your pet bird includes basic changing and cleaning of food and water bowls, providing the necessary social interaction, enjoying in-cage companionship. Your bird can enjoy my inexpert singing too!
It goes without saying that watching for signs of sickness while you are away is of highest priority since birds instinctually hide illness until it is critical and finally insuring that your house thermostat is at a relatively comfortable temperature.
I look forward to caring for your pet bird, observing good general bird care and familiarizing myself with the specific needs of the species of bird you own. See why bird owners are flocking to On The Ball for their pet bird needs.
Hamster, Guinea Pigs, Guinea Hens & Rabbit Visits in your home
SMALL MAMMAL LOVERS - I am happy to visit in your home! *Also, now offering boarding of hamsters in my home!
I provide animals with fresh water that is changed daily and pets are fed per owners directions. Owners are welcome to provide fruits and vegetables for pets to enjoy during my visits. For the continued comfort of the animals, cages are also cleaned daily, and I monitor pets to ensure they’re safe and happy while.
Hamsters, as one example, need to be handled regularly. A hamster that is gently played with every day will be significantly calmer and friendlier than a hamster that is rarely played with.
Pet owner provides all necessities – food, bedding, cage, ball, etc.. Fully clean your pet's cage and replace soiled bedding the day before my visits. Double-check all locking elements of your cage to ensure they are in good working order. Make sure that doors fit and lock snugly and that no loose or damaged portions of your cage exist. I interact with your pet every day, but respect their sleeping pattern. Some small mammals should not be handled when they are resting or sleeping, unless absolutely necessary as they can find this stressful.
Your pet may eat various foods such as fresh vegetables, fruits, dry food, and some protein to keep them going and Timothy hay daily. I discard any fruits or vegetables not eaten within 24 hours to prevent harmful bacterial growth.
