Disponibilité
I'm available for drop-ins and pet-walking on weekdays and weekends while you're away. I'm happy to care for your pets during the day or evening for as little or long as you'd like, however I'm not available for overnight sitting. With a background in youth education, I'm transitioning between careers, so I have plenty of time to spend doting on your pets as if they were my own!

Sécurité, confiance et environnement
I like to meet clients and their pets in a preliminary meeting before confirming the booking. This can be in public or in your space, so I can learn all about their routine, environment, care needs, and interests. This is also a great chance for your pets to be introduced to me with you present, which can put them at ease! Building trust is key when caring for cats and dogs, so I'm very big on letting them come to me and allowing them to adjust to a new person on their own terms. Learning what motivates your pets and what brings them a sense of safety will help me best care for them. If they're very food motivated (like my Salem!) breaking out treats is a good start, and if they're more playful then getting some of their favorite toys can draw them out as well. If you have a very independent cat who prefers quiet company or a super affectionate one who wants constant snuggles, I'm happy to adjust to those boundaries! As a cat parent myself, I understand how important communication about your pets' well-being is. I'll always provide updates and adorable photos of your cat from each visit. Getting to know your pets over time will help me identify any notable changes that could indicate recommending a visit to a vet.
Informations que Lianna Z. aimerait connaître au sujet de votre animal domestique
- What is your pet’s daily routine (including feeding times, play/toy preferences, attention/affection preferences, and medication requirements)? - Does your pet have any medical conditions, allergies, or require medication? - Are there any behavioral issues or quirks I should be aware of (e.g., escape tendencies, medical conditions, issues with litter- box use, separation anxiety)? - If we go for walks: how does your pet behave around other animals and people (especially in public spaces or around children)? - What are your expectations for communication while you're away (e.g., daily updates, photos, check-ins)? - Are there any ongoing training methods or house rules I should follow? (e.g., name recall training, deterring scratching, etc.) - Are there any areas of the house or yard your pet should avoid or needs supervision in? - Do you have any extra tasks you want to request while I’m petsitting (such as watering plants, making sure gates are locked, turning on or off lights, etc)
Une journée type
Once we do our preliminary visit, I'll be able to learn about your pet's favorite activities, snacks, and needs! I'll tailor activities and enrichment time based on the personality of your cats and dogs. Whether they're a love-bug who craves attention, an inquisitive hunter who needs plenty engagement, or an independent diva who appreciates keeping some distance, I'll make sure they have a great time when I come by. I'll maintain the routine we discuss and provide updates and photos, whether I'm stopping by to play, feed, administer medication, or simply keep them company!

Fluent in Treats, Toys & Trust!✨🐾✨
Expérience en matière de services dédiés aux animaux de compagnie
I’m known as a bit of a pet whisperer, able to earn the trust of shy kitties and matching the energy of playful pups. As a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom myself, I'm excited to meet you and learn the needs of your pets! I bring years of hands-on experience, both with my own pets and caring for others'. While I'm a certified Cat-Lover, I grew up with both dogs and cats which gives me a well-rounded approach to pet care. I love getting to spend time walking, training, and playing with dogs too! If you're looking for a reliable, attentive, and patient petsitter/walker who will care for your pets as if they were their own, I'm your person! I’ve helped train dogs, introduce pets to one another, administered medications, and worked with dogs & cats of all ages. I have also adapted dog training techniques to teach cats name recall and tricks. (Yes, cats can learn if you know how to speak their language!) Getting to know each pets' routine, personality, and interests has helped me spot any subtle changes in behavior that can signal when something’s off. In my free time, I love getting to spend time with animals - whether that's taking my furbaby Salem out for a chill picnic, visiting cat cafes, playing with friends’ dogs, or petsitting! Fun fact: I always seek out bookshops with cats when I travel, and have done so from Venice Beach, CA to Venice, Italy!

Lianna is a wonderful sitter! She is trustworthy and very attentive to directions. I feel very lucky our dog has such a great person to check in on him and spend time with him while we are at work!
