About Felice L.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will 100% defer to the pet parents to tell me what is best for their fur baby. I am a calm, quiet, patient person who will respect a shy cat's space, and can be energetic and playful for a dog or cat (or other critter) who wants enrichment and playtime. I pay attention to a pet's cues and mold my interactions with them to their terms. I have a good sense of how to physically handle animals safely without hurting them. My favorite thing about getting to know a new pet is earning their trust by respectfully entering their home.
Information Felice L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs I should pay attention to, if they have specific behaviors I should watch out for, and what they generally like or don't like.
A typical day
At first, I try not to deviate too much from the pet's usual routines so they can get used to me. But if they show playfulness and eagerness to engage more, I respond! I deeply value enrichment for pets, and put my whole attention on the pet I am sitting to make sure they are getting the stimulation they need. What exactly we do together varies--but I'm great at playing fetch or tug-of-war with dogs, getting a kitty excited to chase a toy, and giving as many chin scratches and belly rubs as desired.

Pet care experience
I've been taking care of pets since I was in the 5th grade. The first love of my life was an orange guinea pig called Romeo, who was the pet of my afterschool program. I would take care of him every day, and ended up adopting him when he "retired". After that, my family adopted three other guinea pigs, two hamsters, a gecko, and a senior cat over the years, all of whom we loved for their unique, funny, expressive little personalities. One of the teachers from my afterschool program sometimes also brought in her rabbits and ferrets. All the animals that I was allowed to take care of, I did. I learned how to feed them, hold and play with them, cut their nails, clean their habitat, give them medicine. As an adult, I've lived with and taken care of (separately) a corgi, an petite old lady cat, two tabby sibling kittens, and a chatty black cat. Overall, throughout the years, I've gotten very proficient in caring for most kinds pets, value helping pet parents keep their home the best place for their pet, and love making new furry friends!

Reviews


Felice took wonderful care of my cats, Nini and Milo. She was attentive, patient, and very kind, even helping with a tricky situation that required extra care. She kept me updated and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciate her help and highly recommend her!


Felice did a great job.


Felice is awesome! She filled in as a last minute replacement when our sitter was picked to support Jamaica post-hurricane. Sam & Frodo loved her so she’s definitely another trusted carer in our books now! Thanks Felice!

Felice has great availability and worked with us with our change in scheduling.
