Local, loving pet care
Pet care experience
I have 8yrs of pet sitting experience. Graduated with a B.S in Animal Science. I was in the veterinary industry for 7 years. Started as a kennel assistant and then was a vet assistant for 4 years in San Luis Obispo. I’ve taken care of geriatric pets, very comfortable giving medications both orally and subcutaneously (diabetic pets). I have also taken care of pets with special needs, from a partially paralyzed Cocker Spaniel to a arthritic dachshund. I do not own any cats since my sister is allergic but I love pet sitting them! When they aren’t hiding I do try to play with them and give them a lot of attention.
Reviews
Flora bonded with my anxious/quirky dog instantly, making me feel at ease. She really knows what she is doing when it comes to sensing what they need! She is smart, kind, thorough and keeps you informed! I came home after one week to a happy and healthy dog and clean home- cleaner than I left it!! She is a very family oriented person…to me that says it all! Will use over and over again!!
Flora was great with our old dog. She went the extra mile, literally! After I was 2 hrs. down the road, she noticed that I had dropped my wallet in the front yard, called me immediately and drove to meet me half way. My dog just loved her and so did I.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take care pets as if they were my own. I am very attentive to their needs and always make sure they are comfortable. I make sure to communicate with owners if I do have any questions or concerns as well. I always want to provide clear communication with owners, to make sure their pets are in good hands.
Information Flora G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know in advance if they have special needs or any behavioral issues (aggressive, nervous). Usually, cats have a couple favorite places to hide if they are really nervous with new people. I still check their hiding spot, just to make sure they are hiding.
A typical day
Depending on the pet, I play as much as possible with them to distract them from the fact that they’re owners are not there. A nice long walk to Carmel beach or a simple walk around the neighborhood (not all dogs are fond of car rides) For my couch potato furry friends, lots of attention and scratches.

I really miss spending time and working with animals. At the moment I am working a hybrid job for CSU Monterey Bay. When I am in the office, I am able to leave during my lunch and my boss is pretty lenient with me. I get up pretty early to get my day started and I am very home bodied.
