Reliable, experienced care
Pet care experience
I've always had an affinity for animals, growing up I was always surrounded by cats. I loved watching nature shows and knew I wanted to do something with animals as an adult which is why I was so excited when I first got my first job at a veterinary office in 2002. I connected with many clients and their pets so I started caring for their pets and I have cared for an array of different pets which includes dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and other small mammals. In addition to caring for pets I gained many life long friendships.
Reviews
Ligia goes above and beyond caring for my 14+ year old cat including following specific instructions regarding feeding and supplements and treats. Spends time giving her lots of attention and sends me pics/videos. Highly recommend!
Ligia has watched and walked my dogs for 9 years. She has stayed at my house for two weeks at a time. When my first dog became a senior, she made sure to get him outside every three hours as well as being adept and knowledgeable about his medicines. She wanted to help me and came to walk him when I broke my foot and was unable to walk him. When the time came to put him down last year, Gia came over to say good-bye to him. Gia cares about each animal she watches as though they are her own. I always enjoy getting the pictures she sends when she is with the dogs.
Gia took wonderful care of our three cats when we went away on vacation for a week. She kept us updated with her daily visits with pictures and videos. I recommend her service for sure!
Gia has been watching our dogs for over 15 years! Gia is professional, responsible, and above all, a true animal lover. Nellie was well taken care of and received plenty of love and attention during the time Gia spent with her. I'm extremely picky with who I trust and Gia is simply the best! She is the only one I trust with my baby! I appreciated Gia's attention to detail, from making sure my dog had plenty of exercise to ensuring she was fed and given her medication on time. She also sent daily updates and photos, which is always nice! I highly recommend Gia to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog watcher. Whether you're going on vacation or just need someone to check in on your pup while you're at work, Gia is the perfect choice. Thank you for taking such great care of my dog!! Highly, highly recommend!
About Ligia F.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their homes. I believe it is easiest and most beneficial on the pet to be in their familiar surroundings and avoid changing routines as much as possible. It also allows me to separate my home life from the pet sitter. This allows for my undivided attention when caring for pets.
Information Ligia F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is dog aggressive, pulls on the leash or unruly on the leash. This may require in home indoor/outdoor play. Let me know also if your dog has special needs or if they require medications at the time of the visits.
A typical day
I like to do walks around lakes and parks to provide stimulation to dogs. Walks around their own neighborhoods also provides familiarity and keeps a routine.

Availability
I currently work part-time and I am able to work from home which makes caring for dogs a bit easier as I'm able to do midday potty breaks/walks and provide company to pets at their home. I work part-time also at a veterinary urgent care on weekends which allows for continued education and experience.
