Pet care experience
Caring Attention
A pet lover since childhood, I often ran around the neighborhood rescuing kittens and loved walking my neighbor's dog when they were out of town. Later I was a veterinary receptionist for 5 years. While in New York City, I frequently cared for cats and some dogs during holidays and other travel times, both as in home house sitter and for drop in visits. I have experience with special needs cats and finicky dogs. I can administer meds and basic first aid including some injections and diabetes blood sugar tests, and am trained to recognize signs of emergency distress early. I also completed a pet first aid certification from the Red Cross. But what's most important to me, and your pet, is that I provide them with lots of attention, comfort, and care, so that they feel safe, happy and engaged while their people are away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, I will ensure to keep their favorite routines and habits as much as possible. They will get lots of one-on-one time, attention, and enrichment. I familiarize myself with their environment to ensure their comfort and confidence while you're away and will communicate any changes in behavior. I charge a higher rate for overnight stays because I limit care appointments with other clients and keep my own personal calendar limited to ensure your pets get the focused attention they need while you're away. For safety reasons, I do not take dogs to off leash dog parks or allow them off leash in public spaces, however I will take them on long walks and fun places close by when appropriate, and make sure they get exercise and playtime at home.

Aura does such a wonderful job with Alfie and I always feel completely comfortable knowing he’s in her care. Alfie is always happy to see her which says everything! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s getting a great walk and plenty of attention while I’m away. Thank you for taking such good care of my boy! 🐾🤍
