Rusty’s Bio

I have been a pet sitter for about 5 years and I am very eager to expand my pet sitting clientele beyond my friends and neighbors. I have experience with all types of house pets; from cats and dogs to bearded dragons.  I provide services such as dog walking/exercising, giving medication, feeding, litter box/cage cleaning, multiple daily visits, overnight care, cleaning and of course companionship and TLC while you are away. I am very conscientious and 100% reliable.  I will strive to be THE BEST pet sitter you have ever had!

Rusty agreed to care of our 2 cats, Aly and Maxi, over Thanksgiving on short notice. I knew we had found a great sitter when Rusty came to our house for a meeting and instructions. She brought a note pad and asked questions regarding our cats' preferences. She even asked about favorite toys. Both cats immediately warmed up to Rusty, including Aly who has always been very skittish with anybody new. After our first day away from home, Rusty texted us with an update. It was clear upon our return home that Rusty had taken great care of our cats. I would highly recommend her to anybody who is looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

Rusty did an outstanding job sitting for my kids while I recovered from surgery. She was prompt, responsible and my kids ask me all the time when she will come and sit for them again. I would highly recommend her!!! Sara

Rusty was very dependable and reliable and I very much appreciated that. My daughter had the best time with her she talked about it for several days. We drove in from out of town to watch a football game and having someone like Rusty to count on was worth it's weight in gold! She was awesome and has a great family!

Rusty is terrific! This was the first time we had a babysitter for our children ages 2, 4, & 5, aside from their grandparents, and they absolutely loved her from the start! Not only is she "kid approved", Rusty is very professional and responsible, which made our night out such an enjoyable experience. Rusty = happy kids & happy parents :)

We had the pleasure of meeting Rusty and bringing her into our family as an overnight sitter for our double traveling household.
What a breath of fresh air! My kids absolutely ADORE her & everything she brings to the table. During our joint interview (lasting 2 1/2 hours!) she asked many questions in detail, and then, in her first visit with my kids, followed through (all the way to the back rub for my 8 year old to fall asleep!).
We plan on using Rusty several times a month when our travel schedules overlap and my kids consistently ask...."Is Rusty coming?" with pure excitement whenever we tell them one of us is leaving on a trip.

Rusty has sat for us a few times now and she has been great with our timid 2 year old son. He is a tough guy to win over sometimes, but Rusty has worked her magic with him and now he gets excited to see and play with her. We find Rusty to be a kind, fun, reliable, and professional caregiver for our son and are glad to have found her. We are quite particular about whom we leave our son with and feel very comfortable with our decision to work with Rusty.

Rusty is an excellent caregiver and worth every penny she charges. She is fully engaged when watching our 9-month-old. She takes our daughter out on "adventures" and brings toys that are fun and educational. She knows what activities are good for our daughter developmentally and works with her on those things. I am just so impressed with Rusty so far and look forward to having her in our home on the weekends!!

Rusty did an excellent job for caring for our 3 pets during our vacation and will use her again. She kept us well informed when we were gone how the pets were doing. (One which had an injured leg). She did the little extras such as bringing in mail, turing on lights, clean the floors, and provided us with helpful information for our pets.

We hired Rusty to take care of our three cats while we went on vacation. Our oldest cat hadn't had a sitter in several years, and our youngest two had never had one, so we weren't sure how they would do. Our initial communication with Rusty assured us that she was competent and trustworthy, and we immediately liked her when she came to the house to meet us and the cats. But, naturally, we were still a little concerned about leaving our "babies." We quickly found out we didn't need to worry! Rusty was meticulous and very thorough: she followed our instructions to the letter, and she paid attention to details we hadn't even thought to mention to her. She texted us after each visit to let us know how the cats were doing, and she even included some pictures. Her texts were very reassuring and showed how caring and considerate she was. She even remembered my mentioning that our youngest cat was afraid of storms, so she went to stay with them when a storm came through. We appreciated that so much! When we came home, we found the cats in good health and good spirits, and the house looked better than when left--Rusty had even vacuumed and mopped the floors for us! In short, Rusty far exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend her.

We were looking for someone to care for our two cats while we are away (we take frequent road trips/long weekends). When we found Rusty, we were excited at the way our kitties warmed up to her. Our female cat doesn't warm up to strangers easily, but whey Rusty stopped by for the initial visit, Bella walked up to her within minutes. The first time we went out of town, Rusty put our minds at ease by texting us status updates to let us know how Charlie and Bella were doing. She not only dropped in to feed them, she also played with them, brushed them and had extra treats and catnip. She's also full of ideas for cats who are finicky eaters or don't like to drink water (as our Charlie does not).

Rusty's love of animals is obvious and shines through in her extra tender care and the love she showed our cats. When she stopped by to drop off our key, both of them came up to her as if they've known her a long time. We have already booked her for future trips and recommend her to anyone who needs an exceptional petsitter.

Best. Babysitter. Ever. Rusty is smart and delightful and just a joy to have take care of my son. She brings activities. She is responsible and caring and my house looks better when I get home then when I left it. No to mention my 2 year old loves her! I have had other sitters in the past and I have never felt as at ease with leaving my child with another person as when Rusty is here.

Rusty babysat once (so far) for our two young, very active boys. They had a good time with Rusty who put on her sneakers and ran around with them in the back yard. She also read to them at bedtime. Although I haven't known her long, Rusty seems to be very kind, patient, intelligent, experienced, professional, and trustworthy. I also like the fact that she has a sense of humor. My elderly mother, who lives with us, was home at the time and said she thought Rusty was "terrific." We look forward to Rusty babysitting our boys for years to come.

I would highly recommend Rusty for any petsitting needs. She stayed overnight with our new dog for 3 nights. He is in the midst of being trained and she was great about keeping consistent with what we were doing with him. She left detailed notes about how he did during her stay. She makes dog treats from scratch and brought some to him, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Not to mention, she is absolutely great with him and he was very comfortable and relaxed with her. I plan to use her again and will highly recommend her to anyone that needs a petsitter.

Though we have only used Rusty one time, our kids warmed up to her almost immediately. My two year old didn't even cry when we left! The kids had a good time and the house was even neatened up by the time we returned. I feel confident recommending her to everyone and plan on using her again in the future.

Our nanny Rusty is phenomenal. Our daughter loves her! Rusty is attentive, patient, kind and wonderful! We are very pleased on how she is taking care of our daughter. Our daughter learns something new everyday from Rusty! She is very creative and much into having a fun learning environment. We trust her judgement and appreciate everything she does for our daughter! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great and positive nanny!

Rusty was amazing with my kids she did loads of activities and made sure they were fed dinner. My kids were thrilled with her and cannot wait for her to babysit again. To top it all of my house was spotless when I returned home for the night. Rusty has been extremely professional to deal with. Great babysitter!!!
