Pet care experience

Whiskers & Wags

My approach to pet care is distinguished by a specialized skill set that caters to the unique needs of both energetic puppies and dignified senior pets. With puppies, I employ a blend of patience, positive reinforcement, and innovative training techniques to lay the foundation for a lifetime of good behavior and obedience. My methods are tailored to each puppy’s personality, ensuring they learn in a nurturing and supportive environment. When it comes to senior pet care, I bring a deep understanding of geriatric pet needs, from managing chronic conditions with gentle care to adapting activities to their comfort levels.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m tending to my own beloved pets or providing care for a client’s furry family member, my approach is rooted in compassion, consistency, and attention to detail. In my home, I create a warm and safe environment, ensuring that all pets have access to their favorite comforts, from cozy sleeping spots to engaging toys. I maintain a strict schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime, which brings a sense of security and routine to their lives. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure to follow any specific instructions provided. I take extra care to minimize any disruption to the pet’s usual environment, while still providing the same level of attentive care and companionship they’re accustomed to. By adapting to each pet’s unique needs and preferences, I ensure they feel loved and well-cared for, no matter where they are.

Ligia did a great job taking care of our fur babies! They loved her and she kept us well informed of them while we were away.

Ligia was amazing!! I cannot express enough how incredible and attentive she was with my dog. Ligia arrived at my house daily and spent at least a half an hour with my dog. She was very caring, and sent pictures on a regular basis to ensure me that my dog was in good hands. She played with my dog. She answered all of my calls and gave me regular feedback as to as to my dog’s condition. I highly recommend her.

Ligia was wonderful with our two cats. She was caring, friendly, and professional. She updated us with photos after every visit. You can tell she’s passionate about animals and loves her job. It was our first time leaving the cats at home with a pet sitter and she understood our concerns and treated our cats like they were her own. We were able to enjoy our vacation because we knew our babies were in good hands. We highly recommend her.

Ligia was beyond EXCELLENT! I have 3 cats ranging in age from 3 months to 18 years and they all responded very well to her. She looked after each of them with great care and love. She followed all my instructions and communicated with me at all times. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to any pet owner who needs their pet to be cared for as though they themselves were doing it. She is trustworthy and punctual. Choose her to care for you babies; you won't regret it!

Schedule

With my schedule, I begin my day a bit earlier to allocate time for feeding, walking, and grooming of my own pets. I have plenty of time to share my love, experiences and care for future fur friends because even the smallest of attention matter to them and that I can provide.

As a dedicated pet caregiver, I believe that knowing each client’s pet intimately is the cornerstone of providing exceptional care. It’s crucial to understand not just their breed and size, but also their unique personalities, preferences, and any special requirements they may have. Whether it’s a specific dietary restriction, a medication schedule, or a need for extra patience during thunderstorms, I make it my priority to gather all the pertinent details. This knowledge allows me to tailor my approach to each pet individual needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved in my care. By doing so, I can provide not only peace of mind to my clients but also a nurturing environment where their pets can thrive.
