Animal whisperer & caregiver!
Pet care experience
I adore animals, and your fur babies will be well taken care of, rest assured! I'm something of an animal whisperer, I tune in, and speak their language. Hugs, songs, personalized care, bar none! I send updates with pictures! For me my love of pets began with Charlottes Web, my sweet Chihuahua who I nicknamed Toto (I fancied myself to be Dorothy), nestling next to my sweet kitty, followed by parakeets, and bunnies, I also collected plastic horses and chased butterflies. (Yes, I was that girl!) So, it became a natural fit, along with my career as a writer (that affords me a flexible schedule and much freedom) to make myself available at a moment's notice to care for home & hearth, animals of all stripes and breeds, large and small. I love what I do! I'm also available for longer housesitting jobs, traveling as needed, to care for your home: tending to mail, plants, garden, and of course, pets. I love repeat clients, that way, I get to know each one, establishing a bond. And in all cases, as a mature, kind, responsible caregiver, always responsive to needs, with a direct line of communication, so that you know your home and fur babies are always safe and well cared for =)
Reviews
Lygia was fantastic! She stayed overnight with my cat for the weekend, and I came home to a happy cat. She sent regular updates with nice pictures of the cat. My apartment was just as clean (and maybe cleaner) than I left it. Will definitely be asking her to take care of Prescott in the future. Thanks!
Lygia did such a wonderful job connecting with my somewhat shy cat! By the end of a short weekend he was engaged, interactive, and obviously happy to see her. I really appreciated all the time and effort she put into bonding with him.
Thank you for being such a GREAT house/cat sitter! My home looked as if I had never left: my plants were happy BUT MOST OF ALL my CAT bonded very nicely with you! You provided, sweet photos, daily updates/communications that were greatly appreciated. Thank you Lygia !!!
Was great having Gia take care of my boys. My house was as clean as I left it and their litter was clean too. ?

Let me know if your pet(s) have any special needs or any pertinent information, such as healthwise, dietary, breed, and vet information, in case of an emergency. Helpful too, is to know something about your pet's history, so as to be sensitive to their needs.
A typical day
Happy to accommodate your pet's normal routine, including getting plenty of fresh air, being outdoors, lots of interaction, and love! I often sing and like to tune into an animal's needs.
