Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible, making sure your pet is fed, exercised, played with, cuddled (if they enjoy it), and given plenty of attention. I’ll clean litter boxes for cats, take dogs on walks, and administer medications if needed. I know how important peace of mind is, so I’ll send regular updates, photos, and videos while you’re away. I’m also very understanding of anxious pet parents, so you’re always welcome to message me with questions or check in at any time. If you have pet cameras in your home, I’m completely comfortable with that too. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I always follow their personality and your routine. If your cat loves to play, we’ll play. If they prefer cuddles or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to do that too. I’m also comfortable giving medications and injections when needed. If you have a secure yard or your cat is leash-trained, I’m happy to spend supervised time outside with them. For dogs and puppies, I’m happy to go on walks, hikes, beach trips, or other adventures if that’s what they enjoy. I can also go for runs or bike rides with active dogs that are trained for it. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, safe, loved, and having fun while you’re away.

Experienced, Reliable & Loving Care

Pet care experience

I’ve spent my life caring for animals of all kinds, including horses, rabbits, cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have four cats and experience caring for pets of all ages and with medical needs. I’m comfortable giving oral medications and injections, and I’ve cared for cats with complex conditions, including FIP, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), asthma, allergies, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism. In Los Angeles, I worked with local cat rescues, and earlier this year I fostered a five-week-old puppy full-time for three months before helping him find a wonderful forever home. One of my own cats was diagnosed with FIP, and I never gave up on her. After that, I helped the owners of two other cats with FIP by administering their injections and supporting them through treatment, and both cats survived. I owned my horse from 2001 until she passed away at 25 years old in 2024, which taught me a lifetime of responsibility and commitment. My own cats have traveled to 16 states with me, and I love taking pets on walks, hikes, and safe adventures. Because I work remotely, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide attentive care throughout the day. I’m reliable, patient, and would do anything for animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

Luana is an amazing pet sitter! She’s been looking after our dog, Wilson, for the past three years whenever we travel for weekends or vacations, and we couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving him in her care. Wilson absolutely loves her and is always so happy to see her. She’s incredibly loving, responsible, reliable, and always keeps us updated while we’re away. She makes us feel completely at ease knowing our fur baby is in the best hands. We highly recommend Luana!

Luana is amazing with animals and a responsible caregiver. I've seen her interact with many dogs and cats, including my own, and she has an amazing way of making shy and anxious pets instantly feel comfortable around her. She has cared for my pets when I've been out of town and she has proven herself 100% trustworthy.
