Pet care experience

a cat mom just tryna pay vet bills

I’ve been a dog sitter for friends and family for over 7 years. I love dog walking and giving dogs the opportunity to sniff and play during their time outside. I also am a cat mom and cat whisperer. My family has 5 cats and I have 1 so I am very well versed in understanding cat body language and boundaries.

I live in an apartment, with many parks around me for dog walks. I have a balcony in my apartment and am vigilant to never let animals out there for safety purposes.

Hera was amazing to work with, I had an unexpected work trip and needed to book drop in visits the same day and the day after. Hera accepted the booking request super fast and asked questions to make sure we were aligned on what she needed to do. She sent me great photos of Milo and I felt totally comfortable with her. Will definitely book with her again!

Hera did an excellent job taking care of our two cats. She was reliable and managed their rather ridiculous feeding schedule very well. We would book her again in the future.

I had to go out of town when my cat wasn’t feeling well, and was very anxious about leaving him. Hera took great care of him, including giving him medication and thoroughly documenting his care so I could keep track of his health while I was gone. She was also very patient with him. He can be wary of new people but by the end of the week there were photos of him coming right up to her. Thank you!!

I booked Hera to cat sit my 5 year old European short hair while on vacation and couldn’t be happier that I did. My family and I were gone three weeks and my cat gets really lonely and anxious when by himself for too long, his nervous habits have been apparent even when we’ve come back from past trips. Not this time. Barney was happy and seemed content and well fed. It was evident as to why thanks to Hera’s daily photo updates with him. I’m very protective over my cat and love him dearly, it was so relieving to see he had a friend to play with while we were gone. He was well fed, his litter was cleaned, and he was cared for! Thank you again, Hera. <3

Schedule

I work remotely and have a lot of down time between my meetings. My work schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to take some time off during the day if need be for pet care.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Hera can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I’d love to know if your pet has favorite spots to be pet or favorite routines (for example, my cat loves to be pet while she’s eating). Also let me know if your pet has any specific triggers to avoid or be aware of (for example, a dog i watch regularly hates when people knock on the door or ring the doorbell, so I make sure to avoid those triggers when someone is coming over).
These prices are for 1 dog.
