Pet care experience

Professional Pet Pal 🐶 💕 🐱

Thank you for checking out my profile! I’ve been lucky enough to love and care for pets for the past 20 years. I’m comfortable giving medications, customizing exercise routines, and making sure each pet feels safe, seen, and genuinely cared for while their people are away. I’ve worked with animals of all breeds, ages, and personalities, from playful puppies to senior cats with special needs. I always tailor my care to what each pet needs to thrive. I’ve even been flown across the country to care for some very special furry clients!

Take it from someone who does not do well away from her fur babies, BOOK LAVINIA. She communicates well, asks all the right questions, loves on your kitties like they’re her own and truly took all of the anxiety I had about leaving them, away! She genuinely cares about animals, and it shows. Seeing dozens of pictures of my cats every day truly made my vacation and I can’t wait to book her again!

A lovely person who took the BEST care of our 2 crazy dogs. She kept in touch, sent photos, and took great care of our home. She is a keeper.

Lavinia is a very nice person! She has an excellent connection with cats. And we can see she loves what she does. I am so happy that I found her to care for our cats. She send pictures that reassure us. Thank you very much.

Lavinia is such an attentive and caring dog sitter, and she treated our home wonderfully too, leaving it in better condition even than when we left to travel internationally! Her pictures of our two dogs and four guinea pigs were great to have not just while traveling but for memories, and she is thoughtful about asking questions and being in touch; we'd 110% recommend her and will be looking to book her for our next journeys!

It's good to know if your pet has any distress triggers, so I can be prepared to help them feel happy and comfortable. I also ask to know a typical daily routine and how to give your pet the care they're used to, so they can feel at ease and happy with their new friend!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
