Trustworthy/attentive animal lover!
Pet care experience
I have nine (9) years of experience as a pet sitter (cats, dogs, reptiles) and dog walker. I can be a calming, grounding presence for nervous animals, as well as an enthusiastic, playful presence for the ones who have lots of energy to burn! I know that every animal, like every human, has different needs and I consider myself to be very attentive to them. I probably love cuddling, playing, and going for walks just as much as your pet does (oops). I have some experience with positive-reinforcement training and I'm always looking to expand on my knowledge. I have an MA in Educational Psychology and work as a coach with children and young adults while I'm not pet sitting :)
Reviews
Despina is the best pet sitter. While I was away, Despina responded sincerely to my concerns, exchanged very polite messages and paid attention to the details. My cat seems to have had a very peaceful time.
Despina was fantastic with my cat! I really appreciated all of the photos and videos they sent. They asked really good questions when they needed more info about my cat's care. Despina was very playful with my cat and kept him engaged and active. I'll definitely book them again to cat sit!
Despina is a kind and likeable person who took great care of my kitty. I felt great trust in them right away. They spent long periods with him on their visits, which my cat said he appreciated very much. I will hire them again next time for sure!
Despina was so helpful and attentive to our two cats while we were away. We will be using Despina’s service in the future, so nice to have peace of mind :)
About Despina X.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
It's really important for me that I maintain your pet's routine while you're away, especially if I'm sitting with them overnight. If your cat or dog eats meals at 8 AM and 5 PM, that is when I'll want to feed them as well. If they're used to snuggles before bed time, I'll be the big or little spoon! I want to give them minimal disruptions and the most stability, especially if they have some separation anxiety or are sensitive to change.
Information Despina X. would like to know about your pet
I'll want to know about their temperament, daily routine, how they communicate their needs, possible reactivity, and any notable experiences with past sitters, humans, or other animals.
A typical day
I love to cuddle, play, take dogs for long walks wherever they love going, and reward them for being good, however you spoil them! I really want to keep things consistent so that whatever you've tried to teach them is reinforced with me. Dog parks are only an option for me if you can confirm that your dog plays appropriately and is used to the park and the dogs in it.
