“I'm thrilled to write this recommendation for my dear friend Jing, who is embarking on a journey as a pet sitter. I've had the privilege of witnessing her extraordinary connection with animals, particularly her own 17-year-old Persian cat and 5-year-old exotic shorthair. Her dedication to her own cats is a testament to her caring nature. The way she tends to her needs, from daily face cleaning to armpit massaging, showcases her commitment to their well-being. Her patience with animals is truly remarkable. I've seen her turn moments of uncertainty into comfortable interactions, whether with a skittish kitten or a shy pup. Her nurturing approach brings out the best in every furry friend she meets. More than anything, she is truly passionate about animals. Her eyes light up when talking about their unique personalities and behaviors. I have no doubt that Jing will excel as a pet sitter. Her patience, care, and genuine love for animals make her the ideal companion for any pet.”

“Mathilde L. Is the ideal candidate for this job, she is without exaggeration a cat and dog whisperer, especially cats. Multiple street cats come to her each day and Mathilde spoils them with food and love. Also, every dog ive seen her with is instantly attached to Mathilde. She even took care of my dog for two weeks and she did such an amazing job that she had trouble leaving. Thats why Mathilde would be great.”

“Andrew goes above and beyond to care for my pets. My dogs love him, they always get excited to see him. He even takes care of my hedgehog really well. He's grown up with pets so it's very natural to him to treat them with kindness and loving manner to all animals of different sizes and behaviors. Andrew is also very attentive to the needs of the pet, and he does it on point. He knows how to handle any types of situations. He even trained my dog new tricks and to behave well. I will definitely continue getting my pets the care with him. I highly recommend Andrew.”

“Reliable and answered to a last minute request!! Was dog was happy and tired after the walk. Def recommend”

“Andreina took our 2 medium sized dogs for a dog walk while we were out for the day. She went the extra mile to collect the keys and introduce herself to the dogs the day before. The dogs immediately took to Andreina and could not stop greeting her - she clearly has a way with animals. I was impressed with the range of questions asked to ensure that the extent of the service we had in mind was properly defined. When providing the service Andreina was punctual and communicated very well. We would most certainly recommend her.”

About: Having dogs all my life and now managing a pack of four, I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet care that feels both rewarding and complex. Here are some insights from my experience: Understanding Individual Needs: Each of my dogs has their own personality, dietary preferences, and health needs. I’ve become adept at recognizing and addressing these individual requirements, ensuring each of my dogs feels loved and cared for. Routine and Structure: With multiple dogs, maintaining a consistent routine is crucial. I have a regular schedule for feeding, walks, and play sessions that accommodates the needs of all my dogs, promoting harmony and reducing conflicts. Training and Socialization: Training four dogs, especially at different ages or stages, requires a lot of patience and consistency. I've learned the ropes of basic obedience training and managing behaviors like barking or jumping, making sure to spend individual training time with each dog. Health Management: Keeping track of vaccinations, flea and tick prevention, and regular vet checkups for four dogs can be quite the logistical challenge. I’ve developed a system for monitoring each dog’s health, recognizing signs of illness early, and managing any chronic conditions. Exercise and Play: My dogs have varying energy levels and play preferences. I ensure that each dog gets enough physical activity tailored to their interests, whether it’s through walks, runs, or specific toys for playtime. Emotional Bonding: Having multiple dogs allows for deep emotional connections. Each of my dogs offers unique companionship, and I’ve learned to build a trusting relationship with each, understanding their unique ways of expressing affection and needs. Logistical Challenges: Managing day-to-day life with four dogs presents its own set of challenges, such as traveling, finding pet-friendly accommodations, or even just taking all of them to the vet. I’ve become quite skilled at navigating these challenges efficiently. Financial Commitment: Owning multiple dogs means a significant financial commitment. I’m always budgeting for their ongoing needs, from food and healthcare to grooming and emergency care. Community and Support: Being part of a community of dog owners has been immensely helpful. Whether it’s for advice, support, or sharing resources, having a network of fellow pet lovers enhances my pet care experience. Personal Growth and Joy: Most importantly, having dogs all my life, especially multiple at a time, provides a profound sense of joy and fulfillment. It’s taught me responsibility, compassion, and the pure pleasure of unconditional love. Each day with my dogs is a learning experience, filled with moments of joy and the occasional challenge. I wouldn’t have it any other way; they truly enrich my life. Incorporating pet care into a daily routine involves thoughtful planning and a bit of flexibility. Here’s how I’ve managed to integrate the care of my four dogs seamlessly into my daily life: Morning Routine: My day starts early with morning care for my dogs. This includes feeding them their first meal and taking them out for a morning walk. These walks are crucial not just for their physical health but also for setting a calm tone for the day. Midday Check-ins: If my schedule allows, I try to check in on my dogs around midday. This might involve a quick play session in the yard, some cuddle time, or just ensuring they have fresh water and are comfortable. If I'm at work or away, I sometimes rely on a dog walker or a pet camera to keep tabs on them. Afternoon Exercise: After work, I dedicate time to more vigorous exercise with my dogs. This could be a longer walk, a trip to a dog park, or focused playtime with toys. This not only helps them burn off any excess energy but also strengthens our bond. Evening Wind Down: Evenings are for winding down. I feed them their last meal, and we have a gentle play session or a short walk to help them settle for the night. This routine helps signal that it's time to calm down and prepare for bedtime. Training and Grooming: I integrate training and grooming into our weekly routine rather than daily, unless something specific needs to be addressed. Regular grooming sessions are scheduled to keep them healthy and comfortable, while training sessions help maintain their manners and skills. Health Management: Managing their health is an ongoing part of our routine. I keep a calendar for vet appointments, medication schedules, and preventive care treatments to ensure nothing is missed. Quality Time: Beyond just the necessities, I make sure to spend quality one-on-one time with each dog every day. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, playing fetch, or practicing new tricks, this time is precious for maintaining our emotional connection. Flexibility and Emergency Preparedness: I always try to remain flexible in my routine to accommodate unexpected issues like a sick pet or an unplanned vet visit. Having a plan for emergencies, including a pet emergency kit and saved vet contacts, is a crucial part of our routine. By integrating these activities into my daily schedule, I ensure my dogs are healthy, happy, and well-integrated into my life. It’s about balancing their needs with my own and making sure that caring for them is a joy, not a chore. When it comes to caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, ensuring safety, trust, and a suitable environment is paramount. Here's how I approach each aspect: 1. **Safety**: My primary concern is always the safety of the pets under my care. At home, I ensure that all areas accessible to pets are secure and free from hazards, such as toxic plants, unprotected electrical cords, and small objects that could be swallowed. I also use child-proof locks on cabinets containing cleaning supplies or medications. When caring for pets in a client's home, I conduct a thorough walkthrough to identify and mitigate potential dangers, and I familiarize myself with the layout so I can prevent pets from escaping or getting into unsafe areas. 2. **Trust**: Building trust with the pets I care for and their owners is crucial. I achieve this by maintaining consistent routines and handling all pets with patience and respect. I make a point of learning each pet's likes, dislikes, and any unique behaviors or needs. This helps me to interact with them in a way that is comforting and reassuring, which is especially important in a new or unfamiliar environment. Communication is also key—I provide regular updates to pet owners to assure them that their beloved animals are happy and well taken care of. 3. **Environment**: Creating a welcoming and comfortable environment is essential for any pet’s well-being. In my home, I have designated pet-friendly spaces where pets can relax and play safely. These areas are equipped with toys, comfortable bedding, and ample space to move around. When I’m in a client’s home, I strive to maintain the environment they’ve set up for their pet, following any specific instructions they've given me regarding feeding, play, or relaxation areas to ensure consistency for the pet. 4. **Adaptability and Responsiveness**: Every pet has its own personality and needs, so being adaptable and responsive is vital. If a pet seems anxious or behaves unusually, I take immediate steps to address their discomfort by modifying the environment or my approach to their care, consulting with the owner if needed. By focusing on safety, building trust through reliable and compassionate care, and ensuring a pet-friendly environment, I ensure that the pets I look after are safe, happy, and healthy. This holistic approach has helped me establish lasting relationships with the pets and their owners.

“Paola is a no brainer when I think of who can take care of Oreo the better. She has many years of experience taking care of many cats, the longest was her own cat that lived 15 years. She is punctual, responsible, and caring and will treat your animals like if they were her own. I blindly recommend Paola to take care of your loved ones.”
