Where Fur Family Comes First 🐾

Pet care experience

I previously worked for a local non-profit animal shelter providing care to fur babies from all walks of life for 2 years 🐾🐶🐱. I have expertise in providing life saving care and socialization to animals in the most distressed environments. I treat each pet, even yours, like my own and with the utmost care. I regularly foster cats with special needs from animal rescues and shelters when I can.

Lilia did a great following instructions for her first drop-in visit with Aki and Mochi! She was very creative in luring the girls to go outside to the backyard for a potty break, and they warmed up to her very quickly. Aki and Mochi were very good girls with her.

Safety, trust & environment

My cat, Scout, recently passed away from complications of feline leukemia (FeLV+, kitty cancer!). Cats with FeLV+ have a life expectancy of up to a year (if lucky) once diagnosed. Scout was 2 yrs old when she was diagnosed, and she passed away at 9 yrs. With love, care, and attention I was able to give her a second chance at a life of comfort for 7 additional years. I am able to provide the vigilance, care, and love to your pet as if they are my own. I have firsthand experience with providing constant care and affection to which I can also extend to your loved one. I foster newborn kittens and cats with special needs, so I am attentive and can administer meds to both cats and dogs with guidance where appropriate. I also walk and play with dogs at the animal shelter, and am able to extend my services to you and your fur babies. I know that a simple walk around the neighborhood can change the course of your dog’s mood and a playful pounce with a toy mouse can amplify your cat’s purr. I know leaving your fur baby with someone new can be stressful, so let me help you!

Information Lilia M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about your pets personality! Let me know the best way to approach and care for your loved one to ensure that they are not stressed with a new sitter. In case of emergencies, I do require your pets vet information. I also ask that your pet is up to date with vaccinations and flea prevention for the safety of the pets at your home and in the community! I want to ensure that your pet, as well as other pets I care for, are as happy and healthy as possible.

A typical day

I look forward to being your pet's favorite Tia! Is your pet energetic? I’ll take them out for a walk and play fetch with them all day! Got a relaxed pet? Chilling on the couch watching Netflix with your fur baby works, too! I am a graduate student currently working on my thesis, so your pet may need to proof-read a few things for me JK, Lol! You can trust me to keep you and your pet at ease while you’re away. I also consistently send pictures and updates through the app of your fur babies.

I am always in communication with fur parents about my schedule before booking. My work schedule and times can flex/move around, or I have to work weekends in rare instances, so let's chat about where I can meet your fur baby’s needs ☺️. I am happy to move my schedule around where I can as my job is very flexible. Pet care is 24/7 work, and I want to help you and your fur baby 🦴.
