Pet care experience
Uptown 📍 I AM TRAVELING: June 9, 2026, returning on June 23, 2026, and will be available again on June 24 🛴 I use an e-scooter to move around the city. I drive carefully, thank you for your patience 🙂 I do not provide services after 9 pm 📋 I’m from California BUT raised and educated in Mexico with a major in Psychology and Chemical Engineering. 📋 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 ⚠️

Reviews
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!
Lavinia was so great!!! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. Perfect catsitter!!!
Lavinia is the best! I am so grateful for her. She is so communicative and treats my cat so well, it’s so nice to know that my baby is in good hands when I’m gone. Thank you Lavinia!!!!
