Cat & Dog Care with Real Experience
Pet care experience
I have lifelong experience caring for pets — both my own and those of friends and family. I grew up with a Korat cat named Stitch, who taught me a lot about patience, emotional connection, and understanding animal behavior. I also have a Labrador named Kira, who has been with me for over 12 years and is still in excellent health thanks to continuous care, love, and dedication. Over the years, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages — from energetic puppies to senior pets who need special attention. I have experience administering oral medication, gently supporting older pets, and helping shy or anxious animals feel safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my calm and reliable nature. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. I also had the opportunity to collaborate with veterinarians in Italy, which gave me a deeper understanding of pet health and daily routines. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, or quiet companionship, I genuinely enjoy making pets feel cared for and at ease.
About Alfonso S.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my client’s home, my priority is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs to provide care that feels familiar and comforting. I respect the home as if it were my own — keeping things clean, organized, and following all instructions closely. I stick to feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and any special requests. I aim to keep pets happy and relaxed in their own space, where they feel most secure. Although I do not offer pet care in my own home, I’m fully committed to providing attentive, responsible, and loving care in yours. I also send regular updates with photos and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
Information Alfonso S. would like to know about your pet
Yes, absolutely! I’d love to know everything that helps me care for your pet in the best way — their routine, personality, favorite activities, any allergies, medications, fears, or things they don’t like (like loud noises or other animals). The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make them feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away.
A typical day
I love keeping pets active and happy! We’ll go on relaxed or playful walks (depending on their energy), play with toys, enjoy cuddle time, and keep their minds engaged with gentle training or games. I always adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level, so they feel safe and have fun at their own pace.

Availability
Pet care is already part of my daily life. I live with my 12-year-old Labrador, Kira, so I’m used to starting and ending my days with feeding, walks, grooming, and lots of love. I plan my time around her needs and enjoy every moment we spend together — whether it’s a long walk or just relaxing at home. This routine has taught me discipline, responsibility, and how to read an animal’s behavior closely. I’m also very flexible and happy to adapt my schedule to fit the needs of other pets — whether it’s daily visits, overnight care, or helping out during busy weeks. Caring for animals is not just something I do — it’s something I truly enjoy and make space for in my life every day.
