Information Liya W. would like to know about your pet

I also have 2 kids who love animals. Kids go to school in the morning so will only be home late afternoon and at night to play with the pets. If your animal doesn't like children or if you've had any incidents in the past please do let me know as I wouldn't want to take any risks with safety for both the kids and the furry kid's sake. :)

A typical day

I love going for walks and outdoor activities so I'm good with energetic dogs. Although I work in the mornings, I work from home and am able to care for your furry family! I am able to take them out for walks and hikes as needed in the afternoon. My children are also excited about the possibility of playing with animals and will surely keep them happy and busy.

Responsible pet care taker

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and cats in my house. Always loved pets and took care of them. My kids have been begging us to get a dog or a cat. This is a good way to give them that experience without having pets. We love going for walks and spending time outside.

Liya was such a great host to our cat! We will definitely call her again to watch him if we ever need to board him again. Thank you Liya!!

Our dog had a great time with Liya! She kept us informed and reached out to us when she had questions. We will definitely ask her to watch our dog in the future!
