Pet care experience

Fur Mom Ready to Spoil

What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and my ability to provide truly personalized care. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets and pets who require medication, special handling, or extra patience. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, maintaining consistent routines, and supporting pets who may be anxious, aging, or have special needs. I also work well with high-energy puppies as well as pets who prefer a quieter, more structured environment. I specialize in extended and drop-in visits, offering unrushed care that goes beyond basic feeding. This includes companionship, brushing, litter and habitat cleaning, routine monitoring, and light home upkeep to ensure a clean, calm space for your pet. In addition to cats and dogs, I have experience caring for reptiles and fish, following detailed care instructions closely. I’m also a strong advocate for misunderstood breeds, including pit bulls, and provide calm, respectful, judgment-free care. Above all, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and fully present during every visit. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and ensure pets receive consistent, compassionate care in the comfort of their own home.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are the foundation of how I care for pets. I primarily provide in-home care, allowing pets to remain in their familiar environment, which reduces stress and supports consistent routines. I follow all care instructions closely and take the time to understand each pet’s needs, behaviors, and household expectations. I’m attentive to home security, cleanliness, and respect for personal space. During visits, I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secured, feeding and medication routines are followed precisely, and pet areas are kept clean and organized. I’m experienced in administering medications calmly and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or wellbeing. I limit the number of clients I care for at one time so I can remain focused, punctual, and fully present. Clear communication is a priority, and I provide updates to pet parents to maintain transparency and peace of mind. My goal is to deliver safe, reliable, and discreet care that allows both pets and owners to feel completely at ease.

Pia is the perfect mix of warm and professional. We just returned from our longest trip to a totally happy, relaxed cat acting like we'd never left. She gave amazing updates and actively suggested great ideas to keep our cat entertained. Cannot recommend her enough!

Schedule

Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, and I intentionally structure my schedule to provide reliable, unrushed care. I plan my days around drop-in and extended visits, ensuring I’m fully present for each pet and able to maintain consistent routines. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, with flexibility for early mornings, after-work hours, weekends, and holidays. I limit the number of clients I take on at one time so I can give each pet individualized attention and maintain a calm, dependable schedule. Because I prioritize in-home care, I’m able to adapt to pets who require medication, senior support, or structured daily routines. Communication and punctuality are important to me, and I make sure pet parents always know when visits are scheduled and completed.

Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to understand their routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide consistent, stress-free care. I ask pet parents to share details such as feeding schedules, medication instructions, mobility or health concerns, and any behavioral quirks or sensitivities. I also like to know how pets typically respond to new people, changes in routine, or being alone, as well as their preferences for play, affection, and quiet time. For cats and senior pets especially, small details make a big difference in keeping them comfortable and relaxed. Understanding household expectations is equally important, including home access, security preferences, and any care instructions related to the pet’s environment. Clear communication upfront allows me to tailor each visit thoughtfully and ensures both pets and owners feel confident and at ease from the start.
