The Palisades · while you are away

Hi, I'm Betsy.

I look after pets, kids, plants and post for families in the Palisades — so you can head off and not give the house another thought.

What I do

Four things, done properly

Neighbours in the Palisades, close enough that I can come back the same day if something needs a second look.

Pet sitting

Feeding, fresh water, walks and company for dogs, cats and small animals while you are away. I follow your routine exactly, and you get a photo after every visit.

Babysitting

Afternoon and evening sitting for families nearby. Homework, dinner, bath and bedtime — whatever your normal evening looks like, kept the way you keep it.

Plant & garden watering

Houseplants, pots, beds and hanging baskets watered on your schedule through holidays and heat waves, before anything starts to suffer.

Mail & package collection

Post and deliveries brought in off the porch and out of the weather, so the house never advertises that nobody is home.

How it works

Easy to arrange

1

Get in touch

Send a message with what you need and when. If it is pets or children, tell me a little about them.

2

Agree the details

We settle the dates, the routine and the cost before anything starts. Happy to meet first.

3

Go and enjoy it

I come when I said I would, follow your routine exactly, and send you a photo so you know all is well.

About

A neighbour, not a company

I'm Betsy. I live in the Palisades with my family and go to school at NCS. I look after pets, children, plants and post for neighbours while they are away.

More about me

Get in touch

Going away? Tell me what you need.

Send me the dates and what needs looking after — a dog, the children, the plants, the post, or all four. I will come back to you with what it costs before anything starts.

Good to know
