Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I cook homemade meals for my dog both in the morning and evening, making sure she gets the nutrition she needs. I also take her on walks and play with her using her favorite toys, keeping her active and engaged. On top of caring for my own dog, l also dog-sit for other families, which adds to my weekly schedule. It's a fulfilling way to blend my love for animals with helping out others!

About Antonia G.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I prioritize their pets' routines and comfort. I ensure that each pet's dietary needs are met, following any specific instructions for meals and feeding schedules. I provide plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention to help them feel secure and happy, whether it's through walks, interactive play, or simply spending time with them. I make sure to follow any behavioral cues, respecting their space and boundaries, especially for pets with anxiety or specific preferences. I also keep the environment clean, ensuring their living spaces remain tidy and safe. Regular updates and communication with the client are key, so they're always informed and reassured that their pets are well taken care of.

A typical day
As a pet sitter, I ensure dogs and cats have enjoyable and comfortable experiences. For dogs, mornings start with a walk and breakfast. Throughout the day, I provide regular bathroom breaks, as adult dogs typically need to relieve themselves every 6 to 8 hours. In the afternoon, we engage in playtime with games like fetch or practice simple commands. Evenings include another walk, dinner, and quiet time with petting before bed. For cats, mornings begin with playtime using toys, followed by feeding. During the day, I maintain a clean litter box and ensure they have cozy, quiet spaces to relax. Evenings involve more play, dinner, and gentle brushing to help them unwind. I adjust these activities based on each pet's needs to keep them happy and healthy.

Pet care experience
I have been the proud owner of my beloved dog for the past 12 years. After years of hoping for a dog, my parents finally agreed, and it's been an incredibly rewarding experience ever since. I thoroughly enjoy taking her on walks and engaging in playtime. Throughout high school, I began dog sitting, providing both daily and overnight care. I have experience working with dogs with anxiety, dietary restrictions, and specific behavioral concerns, such as fear of men. Additionally, I'm skilled in preparing homemade meals to cater to their individual needs.

Reviews
My dogs loved their first overnight visit with Antonia. They got long walks, lots of love, and their worries and anxieties were clearly well managed!
Antonia was great with our 9 year old labradoodle. He has separation anxiety, but was clearly comfortable with Antonia right from the outset. Antonia was always prompt and is a great communicator. Highly recommend.
Antonia is amazing and Butters loves her! We cannot recommend her enough
Antonia takes amazing care of Butters! We cannot recommend her enough.
