Paw-sitively Passionate Pet Sitter!

Pet care experience

I am an emergency medical responder, so I am very comfortable in high-energy environments, and appreciate the mental clarity and peace that only cuddles with fluffy friends can bring. I helped train all of my family's dogs growing up (German-Sheppard, Sheepadoodle, and Rottweiler-mix), and I've helped take care of my housemate's cat for the past year (he is the best partner for any game-night, as long as he gets his box!).

If you’re looking for someone that will not only love your pet like their own but be super reliable and easy to connect with, then Livia is your girl! Miso, my sphinx cat is my baby. It’s priceless to be able to relax and enjoy my time away without any worrying, because I know he’s in her great hands. She always kept me updated with cute pictures of him to keep me at ease. Livia is a ray of sunshine, you’ll be glad you chose her :) 5 stars Miso approved! ♥️

Like most people, I love my pets and see them as an extension of my family. So please believe me when I say, I trust Livia wholeheartedly to take amazing care of your pet(s). Livia is so loving, considerate, and responsible, and I think she would be a great fit for all kinds of pets with a variety of needs. She can be an enthusiastic playmate for a pet who has energy to burn, or a soothing presence for pets who need the reassurance of human companionship. Livia will pay close attention to any care instructions left for her - she’ll make sure your pet has everything it needs to be happy and healthy while you’re away! I hope you get to enjoy the peace-of-mind that comes from knowing your pet is in the best hands.

Livia is great with pets I would know as she took of mine for basically 5 years. She is very responsible and knows what to do if things go wrong.

Safety, trust & environment

I will engage in regular exercise sessions and playtime activities based on the pet's needs and preferences. I will follow your feeding schedule, and make sure there is always fresh water available. I will happily offer companionship and attention to help alleviate any anxiety or loneliness. I am comfortable administering medications as directed by the owners, and keeping an eye on their health while I am looking after them. I will familiarize myself with emergency protocols, and maintain open communication with the pet owners, providing updated on their pet's wellbeing, activities, and any notable incidents or changes in their behaviour.

Information Livia P. would like to know about your pet

Knowing important details about your pets ahead of time is crucial for providing the best care possible. Here are some key things I'd want to know: Health and Medical Needs: Any medical conditions, allergies, medications, or dietary restrictions the pet has, along with contact information in case of emergencies. Routine and Schedule: Details about their daily routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, favorite toys or activities, and any specific commands or training cues they respond to. Behavioral Traits: Information about the pet's temperament, socialization level, any fears or anxieties, and how they typically interact with other animals and people. Likes and Dislikes: Favorite treats, toys, games, and activities that the pet enjoys, as well as things they may not like or be sensitive to. House Rules: Any rules or boundaries within the home, such as areas that are off-limits, preferred sleeping arrangements, and house training or litter box habits. Emergency Contacts: Contact information for the pet owner or emergency contacts in case of any issues or emergencies.

A typical day

I'd tailor the activities based on the pet's preferences, energy level, and any specific instructions from the owner, but here are some fun ideas: Depending on the pet's exercise needs, we could go for walks in the park, play fetch, or explore new trails together. Engaging games like tug-of-war, hide-and-seek with treats, or puzzle toys that stimulate their mind and keep them entertained. Incorporating basic training commands or teaching fun tricks can be both mentally stimulating and a bonding experience (with your permission and guidance of course!) For pets who enjoy snuggling, relaxing together with some calming music or a cozy blanket fort can be a delightful way to unwind (cuddles tend to make the perfect study buddy!)

I am studying for the MCAT (the exam required for medical school admission), while working as an Event Medic. As such, my schedule is really flexible. I can't wait to bring your doggo(s) out for a fun walk and give lots of cuddles during my study breaks!
