May I Poppin?

Specialties

Your house? Is your temple.

It’s a place of rest and relaxation, but it’s also the a place where business happens: lots of time, energy, and money go into making your house a home.

My job?

Is to treat your home with the same level of respect and care that you do. My job is to come in, make sure you’re comfortable, make sure your pets are safe and happy, and keep your home beautiful. And it goes a little something like this:

History

Established in 2011.

As you begin to pack your suitcase for your upcoming trip, your beloved pet? He knows.

He sits on your suitcase, makes em’ big, sad puppy eyes (or evil squinty cat eyes,) whines, barks, and makes you feel like a jerk for leaving.

He’s sad, mad, and you? You feel bad.

You’re over the moon over your travels — and have been dying to get away. But every single time — it’s gut wrenching to leave your furry beast behind.

You’ve searched the net for pet-​sitting, pet hotels, but the problem? You know your pet would be MUCH happier at home, and you can’t seem to find a suitable house-​sitter.

So what do you do when you realize — perhaps after a particularly painful guilt trip from your pet, that you’d wish there was an ideal solution?

You find my website, read the whole thing to suss out my credentials and trustworthy factor, and you enlist my help.

Because having someone who’ll adore your pets — respect your home — pick up your mail — and keep it working smoothly? It’s priceless.

Meet the Business Owner

Brigitte T.

Business Owner

I’ve been a personal chef for 10 years, and I have a set of keys to 8 multi-​million dollar homes of people who can all vouch for me. (Ask, and I’ll give you their names and email. You may already know who some of them are.)

I’ve been house-​sitting for the last 2 years, and I have keys to those homes, too.

I’m French Canadian, Ottawa bred, but you won’t hear me say «eh» since I’ve been living in New York and San Francisco for 10 years. There’s no perceptible accent on this girl, though you may chuckle to hear me speak «franglais» — the butchered rendition of my (nearly) lost French tongue.

There’s Zipper, the Boston and Nugget, the Cairn mutt: I LOVE my pups. I’m foregoing the impulse to start collecting pets by taking care of your pets instead. I have an online business in development, and I’m working to transition out of personal chef work and into house-​sitting and health coaching in the next year. If you’re nice, you may even have a meal waiting when you get home. :)
