Welcome to the website of The Creekside Critter Sitter!

HI!
My name is Irene Ziegler. In addition to being a writer, I am a house and petsitter, committed to providing superior long-term sitting services throughout northern California.
My services are customized to each client's wishes.I will care for your pets with the utmost regardfor their safety and welfare while paying particular attention toeach pet's individuality and needs.  
I am based in Richmond, VA, but travel to California (and around the world)  to offer my services. Here is an idea of what to expect: 
WHAT I DOFor your pet:Walk, feed, brush your pets on their schedules.Administer oral medication.Transport pet to appointments.Give them lots of attention and interaction.Send you photos and updates while you're away.
For your home:Take in mail.Maintain a clean home.Follow trash/recycling schedules, etc.Return a clean home to you as well as a healthy, happy pet.
WHAT I DON'T DOCare for pets that don't belong to you.Care for pets in a location other than your home.
WHAT YOU DOUnless I am already in the area, I may ask for transportation 
to/from the airport. Leave a vehicle I may use while you are gone. I am reliable, trustworthy, and a good insured driver with an excellent record. If this gives you paws (see what I did there?), it's not a deal breaker. Let's talk.Provide written instructions, emergency contacts, and a back-up pet sitter for occasional relief.Contact my references! I want you to feel secure while you are away.
HOW IT WORKSContact me! Tell me a bit about you, your pet, and your home.Tell me the dates you need, and if you can provide what I'll need while you're gone.We can discuss details from there.Thanks for your interest!iziegler2@gmail.com, 804-387-0233
