Safety, trust & environment

I like to let pets come to me and build trust with them carefully and intentionally! I like to bond with them through feeding, play, and cuddling (if that’s their vibe). Like any relationship it can take time and effort to build comfort, and I undertake this process with patience and enthusiasm.

Information Hux D. would like to know about your pet

What kinds of things should I seek out or avoid in order to give your pet(s) the best possible experience? How much energy do they generally have? How comfortable are they usually with strangers? Favorite treats and activities?

A typical day

I have a number of favorite parks in the city, and I’m sure we will have lots of fun exploring them together! I like to stick as close to their usual routine as I can to keep them comfortable, while gradually introducing new places and sights to keep them interested. I pride myself on finding creative ways to play with animals and help stimulate them within their environment.

Pet care experience

I grew up with both cats and dogs and have looked after friends’ pets many times in the past, so I am very comfortable with all kinds of critters and familiar with their needs. Since moving away from home I miss having furry pals to hang out and play with and look after, and would be honored to help you out with yours! I work from home and I have a very flexible work schedule, so whatever time is convenient for you is when I can be there :) Unfortunately I cannot currently host your pet in my own home but I will do my very best to make sure they are comfortable and their needs are fully attended to wherever we are, whether on a walk or in your home.

Hux was amazing with our two cats!! She was super caring and communicative, sending plenty of photos and keeping us updated on how they were doing. She also spent a lot of time with them which was very appreciated. Would highly recommend and would 100% have Hux watch our little guys again!

Hux took great care of my cat, he was a happy boy! And everything was well cleaned when I got home. Will definitely request help from her again!

Hux did an incredible job caring for my cats while I was out of town. I appreciated the great communication, social time, and attention to detail in following my instructions. Would quickly hire again!
