Pet care experience

Experienced and caring pet sitter

A lifelong animal lover, I'm passionate about providing exceptional care for your furry friends. I have three years of experience providing pet sitting and care for three lovely cats at home. Professionally, I have cared for both cats and dogs short term and recurrently. I am comfortable caring for more than one pet at a time. I have experience with special needs pets, particularly older pets and pets that take oral medications. I enjoy helping shy pets feel comfortable and loved. Punctual and responsible, I offer peace of mind to pet owners. I'm excited to meet your dogs and cats and give them the love and attention they deserve!

I am a reliable, trustworthy, and punctual pet sitter with years of experience caring for both my own and other's pets.

Livia was great with our dog while we were traveling . We are careful who we leave our baby with , and Livia went above and beyond ! Livia ended up having t take care of her while our pup was sick one night with a tummy upset and I was so worried , but turns out she was in very good hands ! Will happily have Livia watch our baby girl again any time !!

Livia was great with our dogs and provided us great updates during our time away. She left our home in a wonderful state and handled our dogs care with no problem. Would happily book her for future trips.

Livia took wonderful care of our dogs. She made sure we got daily updates and photos. She also went above and beyond cleaning up when one of them got sick. We’ve gladly have her take care of our dogs again.

Livia was absolutely wonderful! During our nine days away, she walked our two dogs twice every day, gave them their medications twice daily, and sent us daily collections of photos showing how happy and comfortable they were. They clearly adored her and loved snuggling with her. She also brought in our mail and deliveries, took out the trash, and kept our home exceptionally neat. Livia is warm, friendly, responsible, and attentive. We came home to two very happy dogs and could not have been more pleased. We would gladly have her house and dog sit for us again!

Livia was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Gotti. He is a blind, special-needs senior who requires extra care, including medication and being carried from place to place. Livia handled all of his needs with extraordinary kindness, patience, and attention. Throughout our trip, she provided thoughtful updates, great feedback, and plenty of pictures, which gave my wife and me complete peace of mind. We were able to relax and truly enjoy our time away knowing that our little guy was safe, comfortable, and receiving exceptional care. We could not recommend Livia more highly and will absolutely book her again for our future pet-sitting needs. Thank you, Livia, for taking such wonderful care of Gotti!

Layla was in great hands with Livia! She sent us photos throughout and took Layla on plenty of walks. We came home to a happy, well-looked-after pup and a house left in perfect condition—exactly as we’d left it. Livia is trustworthy, kind, conscientious, and clearly loves animals. Highly recommend!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
