Pet care experience

Keeping fur babies safe and happy!

Little Italy ONLY! I know animals! I'm not your average petsitter! I know how animals think, and I also know how to keep them safe! I will send you photos of your baby during our visit. My experience spans across many species (dogs, cats, rodents, spiders, horses, cows, sheep). I previously was a vet tech and zoo keeper, trained police horses, trained dogs for pet-facilitated therapy, and worked on rescue missions to save animals. I continually take animal training and welfare classes. Brushing is also available for additional fee. If you want the best for your animal, please reach out to me. During the spring and summer, my evening hours will be extended. Please note that for the welfare of your dog, I will not take him/her for a walk after 10 am or before 7 pm when the temperature is above 90 degrees. I know all about sneaky critters. I will make sure that your pets are safe and will treat them like my own. I love animals!

It was a last minute booking - I recently moved to San Diego and had to go on a work trip and was nervous of leaving my fur baby. Petunia agreed to a meet and greet and I felt reassured that Zaya was in great hands! Never once did I worry about my cat! I’m so glad I found Petunia. It was my first booking with her and she exceeded all my expectations! She was very responsive, and always on time or early! Petunia even managed to get my cat to come out and hang out with her! Thank you!! ❤️
