Safety, trust & environment

I have a keen attention to detail when it comes to the health and safety of your pet, I will not hesitate to contact you if I think anything is out of the ordinary. I will have my phone on me at all times where you can contact me anytime while your pet is under my care. I also always send pictures of your pet to ensure their safety.

Information Lia S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special medical or behavioral needs such as illnesses, medications, dog reactivity, people/ child reactivity or separation anxiety.

A typical day

Every animal is different so I’m very good at respecting the fur babies boundaries. If your cat or dog is timid and scared of strangers I will typically talk to them in a sweet voice and wait for them to come to me. However, if they are comfortable with me I will always try to play with them and give them lots of pets and attention!

Lover of all animals

Pet care experience

I have cared for dogs, cats and chickens all of my life and have worked professionally with animals for the past 3 years. I have worked at an animal shelter as well as a boarding facility where I learned to administer oral medication, care for stressed animals as well caring for dogs in a play group setting. My duties included cleaning, feeding, exercising and ensuring the safety of all the animals in my care. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, ages and levels or reactivity. I have two cats of my own so I am quite experienced in caring for cats of all ages and sizes. I also have one year experience of bathing dogs, I can do nail trims, ear cleaning and sanitary trims.
