Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently in my third year of my PhD, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home—perfect for giving your cat lots of attention, playtime, and care! I’m available for cat boarding and sitting on weekends and some weekdays, and I can do drop-ins and dog walks every day, including weekends. Caring for animals is a rewarding part of my routine, and I love building bonds with each pet I look after.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether your cat stays at my apartment or I care for them in your home, I always aim to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. At my apartment, your cat will have a quiet, pet-friendly space with plenty of cozy spots to nap, toys to play with, and windows to watch the world go by. I’ll follow your feeding, grooming, and medication routines closely, and make sure their litter box is always clean. If I’m caring for your cat in your home, I’ll maintain their usual environment and routine to minimize stress. I’ll spend quality time with them—feeding, cleaning, playing, brushing, and giving them all the attention they need. I treat every cat like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you have peace of mind while you’re away.

Information Gisela S. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, personality, and any specific needs ahead of time. That includes their feeding schedule, favorite toys or activities, any medical conditions or medications, and how they typically behave around new people or other animals. I also like to know if they have any fears or triggers (like loud noises or strangers), and what comforts them. The more I know about your pet, the better I can provide personalized, stress-free care that keeps them happy and healthy while you’re away!
A typical day
Every pet has their own personality, and I love finding activities that match their unique style! For cats, that might mean interactive play with feather toys, laser pointers, or just a good old-fashioned cardboard box. I also enjoy quiet cuddle time or brushing sessions for cats who prefer a gentler pace. For dogs, I offer fun walks tailored to their energy level—whether it’s a playful stroll around the neighborhood or a relaxed sniff-and-explore session. I also love engaging them in games like fetch or tug-of-war and giving them plenty of praise and affection along the way.

Loving Pet Care You Can Trust
Pet care experience
With over 25 years of experience as a devoted cat owner and past Labrador companion, I bring a deep understanding of both feline and canine needs. I’ve provided care for small dogs through walks and drop-in visits, and I specialize in cat drop-in visits, sitting and boarding. I’m confident with feeding routines, administering medication, brushing, litter maintenance, and engaging playtime. What truly sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and my Pet First Aid Certification, ensuring your pet is in capable and caring hands at all times.
