Pet care experience

Loves long walks and fuzzy snuggles

I've been taking care of pets since before I remember. Growing up I cared of neighbors', family members' and friends' pets on a multitude of occasions to go on long walks, feed, bathe, and give attention to whilst they are away. Ive taken care of newborn kittens and puppies as well as elderly fuzzy friends who need meds and daily iv's/shots. Ive even assisted a cat birth and successfully resuscitated a kitten! I am comfortable with giving all animals even exotics the care love and attention they deserve. I've had many cats and dogs of my own over the years and have cared for my families' beagle mix who is 15 yrs old and thriving. I've fostered over 7 cats, and have 4 cats currently!

Oona did a wonderful job taking care of my mom's dog Jack while she was in the hospital. Oona was very communicative before we met and while she was taking care of Jack. She also sent pictures of Jack which was nice to see. I think Jack enjoyed snuggling up to Oona and all the attention she gave him. Spoiled! LOL. Jack has some health issues, and she was more than willing to help Jack with those issues and make sure he was well taken care of and comfortable. We were lucky to find her on such short notice too. Thank you, Oona!! Woof from Jack!

I cannot say enough good things about Oona. She is so lovely. I came home to a very happy & healthy cat AND a clean house! She is very responsible, very engaged, very responsive and communicate - just perfect. We will be using her again and again!

Oona watched our 2 chihuahuas and did an excellent job. She cared for our elderly dog and gave him his medicine. She kept us updated during our vacation and even tidied up the house before she left. We would definitely work with Oona again!

Oona took such good care of our cat Charlie and our home while we were in the hospital for the week giving birth to our daughter. She was flexible with the days/time given our situation and kept in contact to let us know how Charlie was doing. We returned home to a super clean house, she even watered the plants and took in all our packages. Charlie seemed happy, was brushed and well fed. Highly recommend her to take care of your pet/home, we will definitely reach back out to her as needed.

Oona stayed at our house with Major. He was in good shape and the house was spotless when we returned. Oona was easy to coordinate with and reached out with questions ahead of the stay to be sure we were all on the same page. Major is always happy to see her!

I would love to know if and what your dogs special needs are as well as their dietary restrictions. Its important to know how well your pet is socialized and how they interact with other dogs. Please make me aware of any medical conditions before I make the booking so I can schedule accordingly and can be prepared.
