My work schedule is released on a bi-weekly basis, therefore I recommend checking with me in advance to confirm my availability to ensure your babies get the attention and care that they need throughout the day. Regardless if it’s a short drop-in or an extended stay, going on long walks, providing meals, or just spending quality time playing and bonding, I truly enjoy every moment I spend with pets.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at ease. I ensure they stick to their usual routines, like feeding schedules, walks, and playtime, so they feel right at home. My home is pet-friendly, with plenty of cozy spots to relax and space to play. When caring for pets in my clients’ home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and keeping their environment clean and organized. I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide, from feeding and administering medication to taking care of house tasks like bringing in the mail or watering plants. I focus on providing personalized care to make your pet feel happy, loved, and secure. I also love to send my clients pictures of their fur babies while they’re away!

Information Cora M. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care for your furry family, I like to know as much as possible about them. - Daily Routine: Feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and bedtime rituals. - Health Needs: Any medications, allergies, or medical conditions I should be aware of. - Behavioral Traits: How they interact with new people, other animals, or certain environments. - Likes and Dislikes: Favorite toys, activities, or areas in the home they feel the most comfortable. - Emergency Info: Your veterinarian’s contact information and any steps to follow in case of an emergency. This helps me ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved!

A typical day

I love tailoring activities to match each pet’s personality and energy level! For dogs, this might include fun walks, play sessions with their favorite toys, or even learning new tricks together. For cats, I’ll engage them with interactive toys, laser pointers, or gentle play that keeps them stimulated and happy. If your pet enjoys downtime, I’m always up for cozy cuddle sessions or just keeping them company while they relax. My goal is to make every moment fun and engaging so your pet feels loved and entertained while you’re away!

Reliable, Loving Care for Pets!

Pet care experience

I’ve always been surrounded by all sorts of animals my whole life such as horses, rabbits, chickens, cats, dogs, and so much more! I know how important it is to feel confident about who’s caring for your pet. I have specialized training in quarantine care, so I’m well-prepared to handle pets with unique health or behavioral needs. I’ve spent five years volunteering at an adoption center, where I learned how to connect with all kinds of animals—shy, energetic, or anything in between. You can trust that I’ll treat your furry family member like my own, giving them all of the attention, love, and care they need to feel safe and happy while you’re away!

Cora was wonderful. She was available very short notice, great with the dogs, excellent at following instructions and sending daily updates. Could not ask for better and the dogs loved her as well.

I'm so glad I found Cora to take care of my kitty, Sasha. We did a meet and greet beforehand and I knew they were a match. She is professional and trustworthy, yet friendly and real. Every day I received messages, pictures and videos that make it much easier to be away from your baby. Sasha loved her attention and also brushing. My only kitty sitter now! Thank you Cora!

I have so many GREAT things to say about Cora! She took really good care of my dog, Peaches. I am a little bit of a helicopter mom when it comes to peaches and she was also suffering from some separation anxiety at first and Cora was great helping us through that! She sent pics of peaches everyday, and kept me updated. Thanks so much Cora!
