Pet care experience
🐾 Every Pet Has a Voice.. I Listen
Helping Pets Feel Safe, Seen & Understood Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by everything from chickens and horses to dogs, cats, birds, and even rescued squirrels. Today I share my home with my charismatic black cat, Pippa, and caring for animals continues to be one of the most meaningful parts of my life. My approach is calm, observant, and deeply respectful of each animal's individual personality. Some pets want endless play, some need patience before they'll trust you, and others simply appreciate a quiet companion who understands their routine. Over time I've discovered that one of my greatest strengths is noticing the little things.. changes in behavior, energy, appetite, comfort, or mood that others might overlook. I enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual and adapting my care to what helps them feel safest and happiest. Whether your companion is young and energetic, shy, senior, or has special needs, my goal is always the same: to help them feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you're away. You'll receive thoughtful updates, photos, and open communication throughout every visit so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting both you and your animal companion. 🐾 *Additional services* Over the years, I've developed experience as an animal communicator alongside my work caring for animals. While every visit above includes attentive, compassionate care and careful observation, some families are looking for a deeper level of support and connection with their companion. For those interested, I offer the following optional extended services, designed to complement—not replace—excellent veterinary care and your pet's regular routine. ✨ Animal Communication Session (+$20) Includes an additional 30 minutes solo with your pet (or with both you and your pet if you're home) beyond the scheduled visit. Following our session, you'll receive a detailed email or voice note sharing the observations, impressions, and intuitive insights I experienced during our time together. Many clients enjoy these sessions as a way to better understand their companion's unique personality, preferences, and emotional world. 🌿 End-of-Life Companion Support (+$25) Includes an additional 30-minute consultation with you and your pet alongside your scheduled drop-in visit. This service is designed to offer compassionate support during one of the most difficult chapters of loving an animal. Together we can discuss quality-of-life observations, your pet's changing needs, and any intuitive insights that may help bring greater clarity or peace during the process. While I am not a veterinarian and do not provide medical advice, I am honored to support you and your companion alongside your veterinary team's recommendations. If you're curious about either of these offerings or would like to know whether they're a good fit for your pet, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to answer questions and chat about what would best support you and your animal companion💕

What to Expect During Our Meet & Greet: My goal is to help your animal companion feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you're away. During our meet & greet, I'll take time to get to know both you and your pet. We'll go over their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite toys and activities, medications (if applicable), and any unique quirks or preferences that help them feel happy and secure. I pay close attention to each pet's individual personality and adapt my care accordingly, always meeting them where they are rather than expecting them to adjust to me. This is also a great opportunity for you to ask questions, share any concerns, and help me learn how I can provide the very best care for your companion.
Ratings and reviews
Great communication and sweet with my babies!
Gera deamlessly stepped into our medical routine for our geriatric cat. She was very communicative, reached out with clarifications in places our instructions weren't explicit since she knew how delicate our cat's health can be. We really appreciated her diligence and care of our high needs cat.
Gera was amazing! She responded to our super last-minute request and was at our house an hour later to meet our dog. Asked all the right questions, and was flexible and responsive. She updated us consistently each day, which my kids loved and even watered my lonely plants. Thank you Greta!
Gera was great with my cat, she sent wonderful updates and was super responsive in the booking process. Definitely will be hiring again! 😻
Gera was a balm to my anxious heart. I got a hold of them to watch after my older IBD kitty pretty last minute. I received photos, updates every visit, trial med runs before I left town to make sure everyone involved was informed and comfortable, they told me my girly might be experiencing whisker fatigue based on how she was eating so that just shows how much attention to detail and care was put in. Clem isn't very shy but she warmed up to Gera effortlessly and it sure made me feel like she was in great hands.
Gera was so great! Reliable, thorough and trustworthy. My shy kitty even warmed up to her. I love the updates and photos she sent. I will definitely book her again.

- Before caring for your pet, it’s helpful for me to know about their routine, personality, and any special needs. Things like feeding schedules, favorite activities, medical needs, medications, triggers, or behaviors that help them feel safe are all great to share. I also like to know how your pet typically reacts to new people, other animals, and unfamiliar environments so I can make sure the experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible for them. The more I know about your pet, the better I can make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
