Here at Peace of Mind we believe humans and pets alike deserve thoughtful, professional, and cheerful help. The services we offer include petsitting, vacation home watch, administrative assistance, organizing, and hauling away the things you don't want.
Our goal is to give you more freedom, more time and space to travel and live, and, yes, more peace of mind. For availability, an estimate, and the chance to schedule your complimentary meet-and-greet, please text or call Ronnie at 520 576 2135.
Meet our team
Peace of Mind Projects and Pets is now a family affair!
Our founder, Ronnie, is a former Seattle-area software professional who moved to Arizona in 2019. She has been petsitting professionally for about five of the years since then, including managing a team of petsitters for another company while providing pet care herself. Since starting Peace of Mind in 2024, she has crafted a thriving but deliberately small small business, prioritizing quality of care (and preserving her energy!) by keeping her schedule light.
In addition to a full range of petsitting services -- including walks, potty visits, kitty visits, and in-your-home overnight care -- Ronnie also offers vacation home watches, admin and bookkeeping services, light daily housekeeping assistance for clients who need it, and organization services. She will work with you to develop a package that works for you.
Ronnie's husband, Frank, who also has a software background, does some overnights and dog walks and acts as Ronnie's backup for other services. He also provides some handyman services for existing clients.
Their son, Cal, joined the team in 2025 after leaving Minneapolis and a career in the banking industry due to health issues. He has been stealing the hearts of pets around town ever since. Cal performs a lot of the evening visits for our team, in addition to offering overnight care and vacation home watches.
All staff members of Peace of Mind Projects and Petsits are insured for your protection.
Our policies
Exceptional care: We are all in on keeping the animals and homes in our care safe, secure, and comprehensively cared for. We always try to do the right thing, and we stay until the job is done right. This shows up in extra minutes spent with your anxious kitty, some weeds pulled while we play with your dog, and your house being cleaner when we leave (if that's possible!) than it was when we arrived. If you're not thoroughly delighted with our services, we want to hear about it so we can fix it now and do better next time.
Booking: The earlier you book, the better the chance that we can accommodate you, but we accept last-minute bookings when we can, and we always endeavor to support our clients through family emergencies. No extra charge for late booking.
Extra fees: The only time we add costs to what you've been quoted is when you end up needing additional services due to travel delays or vet emergencies.
Photos at every pet visit: Pet photography is fun, and we know from having our own pets cared for how reassuring those happy photos can be. You won't have to wonder if your pets are all right: you'll see it for yourself.
If we break it, we bought it: We
are insured for your protection. If we know we damaged something during
a visit, we will tell you and endeavor to make it right. If you find
damage after your return, please notify us right away so we can file a
timely claim with the insurance company.
Cancellation: As a small business, late cancellations - especially of longer bookings - can really hurt. To protect our availability (and cash flow), the following cancellation policy is effective immediately and applies to new and existing bookings:
For overnight bookings of five nights or more, a 50% nonrefundable deposit is due 30 days before the start date of the booking. If we don't receive a deposit, your dates will be released and we'll accept other bookings as we can.
If you end up needing to cancel within the 30 days, we hope you will schedule other services within the next six months so we can apply the deposit to those. After six months, we will retain any remaining deposit amount.
For home-watch, drop-in pet visits, and shorter overnight bookings, we don't collect deposits and there is no charge for cancellation. To enable us to continue this, please provide as much notice as possible when you need to cancel so we have a chance to accept bookings with other clients.
We look forward to talking to you soon about your pets, your projects, or both!
