About extended stays
I work remotely and can often bring my work along for more daytime companionship. Time at home depends on the booking and my other commitments; care isn't continuous or 24/7. We'll agree on the details before booking.
Meet your sitter
Hi, I'm Desiree.
I’m based in Chillicothe and have cared for local families’ pets for over four years. I’ll learn your pets’ routines, respect your home, and keep you updated.
We can start with a meet-and-greet or FaceTime call.
Kind words from local families
