Information Oksana Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about their routine, dietary needs, any medications they require, and their usual behavior, which helps me provide personalized care. Additionally, would be helpful to know their likes and dislikes-whether they enjoy certain toys, specific places for walks, or have particular habits. Thank you;)

A typical day

Depending on their preferences and energy levels, I might engage in a variety of fun activities. For active pets, I love taking them on stimulating walks or hikes in pet-friendly park, where they can explore new scents and stretch their legs. Playtime is always a hit; whether it's a game of fetch, tug-of-war with their favorite toy, or Interactive puzzles for mental stimulation, I tailor activities to keep them engaged and happy. For more relaxed pets, cuddle sessions, gentle brushing, or even just hanging out together while I read or watch TV can be comforting.

I prioritize building strong bonds with pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being through attentive observation and responsive care. Additionally, my background in pet first aid and CPR certification equips me to handle any unexpected sityations with confidence and competence. Ultimately, I strive to create a nurturing environment where pets not only thrive but also feel safe and cherished in my care.

Oksana was fantastic watching our home and little man while we were out of town. She was extremely attentive and communicative, and we felt like Giacomo was very safe in her hands, especially considering his special needs. We would highly recommend her for housesitting and will definitely use her again if she's free.
