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.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you so much for taking care of my girl, I can see on her little face she loved your visits. Thank you!!
Aura is great! My cat is very skittish but by just day two she was coming out and interacting with Aura!
Aura always does a great job!
Aura is the best! She’s become my go-to cat sitter for when I’m away-she provides detailed updates that always ensure me she is in good hands ❤️
I can always depend on Aura to take great care of Sebastian. He absolutely loves her and I love how she spoils him while I’m away.
It’s clear Aura genuinely loves animals — she was attentive, thoughtful, reliable, and so caring with every detail about her visits with Sebby
