Safety, trust & environment
Emilia-Laura provides personalized drop-in visits focused on playtime, feeding, litter box cleaning, and plenty of cuddles. For shy or reserved cats, I am patient and take the time to build trust, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and a little spoiled. I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and liquids, and can carefully follow specific dietary requirements. Ion provides regular dog walks adjusted to your dog’s pace, stamina, and routine, along with engaging play and positive reinforcement, ensuring each outing is safe, enjoyable, and stress-free for both dogs and their owners. Especially well suited for calmer dogs!
Ratings and reviews
Great sitter! It’s always a relief when she is available because we know our cats will be well taken care of!
Thank you for spending time with our cats. We know they loved having you around. We really appreciate how you went above and beyond, making sure our apartment was in good condition when we came back as well, and the extra time you spent playing with them. Thanks for the videos and photos, your narratives were always so lovely to read.
Laura is communicative, professional, and so, so caring for our kitties—we could not recommend her enough!
Excellent sitter for anxious cat! Our Luna hardly missed us when we got back! Lots of play and great photos!
Super responsive and one of the best sitters we've had for our Cat.
So reliable and really cares about our cats!
