Availability
I currently work in an office and remotely twice a week, but I can adjust my schedule if needed. Luckily, most of my colleagues and clients are fellow pet lovers with kitties or puppies, so they don’t mind if I have a sneaky furry guest during meetings!

Information Erena M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs, routines, or quirks I should be aware of! Whether it’s dietary restrictions, favorite toys, exercise preferences, or any habits that make them feel comfortable, I’d love to know in advance to provide the best care possible. Feel free to share anything that helps me make their time with me stress-free and enjoyable!
A typical day
I’d tailor activities to each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences! Here are some fun things I’d love to do with them: ? For Playful Pups: Outdoor walks or runs in nearby parks Interactive play with their favorite toys (fetch, tug-of-war, etc.) Mental stimulation games like hide-and-seek with treats Practicing basic commands with positive reinforcement ? For Curious Kitties: Wand and laser pointer playtime for exercise Cozy lap time and gentle brushing for cuddle bugs Building little forts or playing in paper bags/boxes ? For Feathered Friends: Chatting and singing together Providing new perches or safe exploration time Hand-feeding treats (if they’re comfortable with it!) ? For Any Pet: Lots of attention, belly rubs, and head scratches Keeping them company so they don’t feel lonely Sending cute photo updates to their owners I always try to match their usual routine to keep them happy and stress-free!

Pet care experience
While I might not have many years of professional pet-sitting experience, I have a lifelong love for animals that has run deeper ever since I can remember. From cuddling kittens to chasing playful puppies, caring for furry friends brings me boundless joy! I grew up with a long-lived cat named Mari until I was a teenager. I still remember spending time with her in front of the heater, having her sleep on my lap during the winter every year. I was sometimes late for swimming practice because she was so comfortable, and I didn't want to move and interrupt her beauty sleep! I used to travel a lot, so I never had any kitties or puppies for myself ever since then, but I have looked after my friends' puppies when they're out, such as a toy poodle, Bordeaux mastiff, a mix of Maltese/toy poodle, and a few more furry friends for some short term! Also, whenever I visit friends or families with kitties, puppies, or birds, I tend to play and spend some time with them♥ I currently work in an office and remotely twice a week, but I can adjust my schedule if needed. I'll try hard to create a comfortable environment and make them feel like it's their home. I'll also let you know how they're doing if you need any updates! I'd be happy to be there for you.
Reviews
Thank you so much for loving bear and taking care of him. He seems to be exhausted from having such a fun day with you!
Erena did a great job watching our dog. She was communicative and shared some nice photos.
Erena took such great care of our puppy. He is a handful (lots of energy) and she played with him in her yard a ton. She also took lots of pictures and sent us many updates. We will definitely book with her again!
Gumbo always gets spoiled with you and I know that I never have to worry about him during his stay. Thanks for making him and us feel so comfortable. Thanks for all the pictures. He’ll see you again soon! 😊
