Owner, Yvonne M. Feltman:
I consider myself a professional pet sitter because I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience.  I began house sitting as a hobby in college and over the years it has grown into a true passion and a rewarding business.  I take great pride in ensuring the care of your property and pets while you are away.  I truly enjoy caring for animals and providing them with a positive experience.  I believe that all animals deserve to be adored and treated well.

Because house sitting & pet sitting is a very personal service, I feel you should know some personal details about me as well: 

I have been around animals most of my life beginning with two Norwegian Elkhounds we had when I was a child. I have had a couple of awesome cats (Joyce lived for 21 years!), fish, a hamster and a sugar glider in the past.  I have been around snakes & reptiles quite a bit. I had a little Miniature Pinscher named Jiminey Cricket for ten years until recently.  He was the love of my life.

I was born in Dallas, Texas but I spent most of my life in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I moved here to Austin in 2013 because I love the friendly & progressive nature of this great city! I have an identical twin sister and 6 younger siblings.  I studied English and Psychology while earning a Bachelor's Degree from UNM.  Some of my other interests include fitness (running/yoga/hiking/etc), skiing, photography, writing, trying new restaurants, listening to music (and live music), dancing, traveling and cooking.

I have spent a majority of my career in administrative roles supporting high-level executives. For several years I owned a successful pet sitting business in Albuquerque called Abode Attendants which I sold when I moved to Austin. I published a novel in 2017, and I am currently in Graduate School to become a Mental Health Therapist, a long time passion. You can learn more about me at www.YvonneFeltman.com

I have excellent pet sitting references of which I’d be happy to furnish. Or you can read about them in this post.

Our Pet Sitters:
In an effort to expand our reach and to connect other great caregivers with your deserving pets, Custom Critter Sitters sometimes uses independent contractors we call "helpers".  These individuals are screened, reference checked and background checked prior to serving you and your pets. When using one of our helpers, you will first be provided a meeting with the individual who is to provide your service.  With nothing less than excellence and integrity as our goal, we are confident our helpers embody this and more.
