Safety, trust & environment

I won't be onboarding pets at this time, since I am fostering a cat for someone in my family. When caring for a pet in someone else's home, I always keep safe and sanitary conditions as the basis for pet+owner well-being. I always have a conversation about daily habits and protocols for cleaning accidents among other details when meeting up with an owner and their pet.

Information Antonella S. would like to know about your pet

If the pet has a reactive personality or has experienced trauma before getting to their forever home. I also need to know what triggers unwelcomed behaviors such has biting or scratching.

A typical day

Depending on their needs and what their pet parent approves, I will play and stimulate pets with their favorite toys and activities. For high-energy dogs, playing out in a safe park or going for a long walk usually does the trick! For kitties and puppies whose attention span is a little shorter, I try to break it out between fun activities and necessary things such as potty training or feeding.

Your loved pets are my priority!

Pet care experience

From very sickly puppies to senior cats, I have taken care of many family pets and was entrusted by friends with overnight sittings and visits while they were away. Looking forward to meeting your beloved pets. Please note that if you’d like an in person meet up, I humbly ask that you book a paid 30 mins visit. Otherwise, I am happy to use the Rover feature to video call and get to know you and your little ones!
