Pet care experience

4’11 cat lover 🐈

Uptown 📍 🛴 I use an e-scooter to move around the city. I drive carefully, thank you for your patience For safety reasons I do not provide services after 9 pm 🇺🇸 Born in California, raised in Mexico 🇲🇽 Even though my native language is Spanish I can understand English so don’t worry about it, I’m trying my best! ALTHOUGH, I would GREATLY appreciate it if you could share written instructions with me, in case I have misunderstood any point. Feel free to be VERY specific with the instructions, I don’t have a problem with that! I apologize if I am sometimes unclear or if I make grammatical errors. ➡️ Dog walks are available on: Uptown, near uptown and even sometimes North Center. Please make sure your dog is friendly with new people! I recommend a meet and greet before dog sitting or walking to see if I'm a good match for your pet. ⬅️ ➡️ Drop-in visits on the following neighborhoods: Uptown, Edgewater, Andersonville, Ravenswood, Lakeview, East Likeview, Buena Park, Wrigleyville, Northalsted, Lincoln Park (But I've been to many places, feel free to ask if I can come to where you live, if it's not too far there may be a possibility that I come to take care of your pet) ⬅️ 🐾 Please keep updated your full address on your profile so I can attend request. If your address is not among the mentioned neighborhoods or is too far from my location, I won’t be able to provide my services. 🐾 Keep your locks and lockbox in good working order so I can access to your home and take care of your pet. If your doors use a code, make sure the code is correct and validated. I've had cases where keys, locks, lockboxes, or codes didn't work, and I couldn't take care of the furry baby. 🐾 I will document my services with a lot of photos of your pet during my drop-in visits and dog walks. I will send proof of food and water bowls, litter box cleanliness and medication administered (if the medication and the furry baby allows it). BUT If you prefer that I only write it in the Rover report, let me know and I won't spam you with photos. 📸 If you see that something is missing in the photos I send you, please let me know IMMEDIATELY and I'll be happy to correct it! ⚠️ PLEASE FEEL CONFIDENT IN DOUBLE-CHECKING TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OK TO AVOID MISTAKES ON BOTH SIDES ⚠️

Safety, trust & environment

I want and I will provide the highest level of care, attention and love to ensure the happiness and wellbeing of your pet. You entrusted them to me therefore they are important to me as well. ⚠️ BUT even the best can make mistakes so PLEASE once again FEEL CONFIDENT IN DOUBLE-CHECKING TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OK TO AVOID MISTAKES ON BOTH SIDES⚠️ ✅ I will: 🐾 Refill water and food bowls 🐾 Basic cleanup procedures - Clean food and water bowls - Litter boxes - Pukes or accidents - I am willing to learn how to set up autofeeders/water fountains if you teach me 🐾 Medications (ONLY PILLS) ❌ I don’t: I don’t administer shots. Do other things that are not related to the care of your furry baby (like doing your laundry 🤔)

Lavinia did an outstanding job taking care of our three cats and following detailed / unique care instructions. She was a very clear communicator and we felt that our cats were very well taken care of.

Lavinia did a great job playing with the cats, cleaning up after them and sending wonderful photos. We'd happily use her services again!
