Safety, trust & environment

Proactive Pet Safety: I constantly monitor the cats for subtle changes in behavior (lethargy, hiding, low appetite) and will immediately secure any potential hazards, before or during my visit. Updates: I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos during my visits—just let me know your preferred frequency (twice daily or one consolidated update)!

Information Rocio G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your cat or dog has any special needs, medical conditions, or behaviors that I can account for, including: - Any known allergies, medications (and administration instructions), specific dietary requirements, or concerns about appetite/elimination. - If your pet is generally shy, fearful, reactive to strangers (people or other pets we may encounter during a dog walk), or has any specific hiding spots I should be aware of. - Their routine and, favorite toys, preferred style of play (e.g., fetch vs. gentle tugging), and their usual response to the litter box/potty routine. - Any known resource guarding, leash reactivity, or specific instructions for safely entering and leaving your home. My preference is for small dog breeds that are generally good-natured and comfortable being handled by a visitor in their home, as I prioritize safety during solo drop-in visits. If your dog is a small breed that requires specialized handling due to anxiety or energy, please describe their needs in detail.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your pets physically and mentally by bringing the fun to their familiar environment! My goal is to keep them engaged, comfortable, and happy. Interactive Cat Play: I use wands, balls, stuffed toys during play sessions to fulfill their natural hunting instincts and provide necessary exercise. Sniff and Stroll (Dogs): For small dogs, we’ll enjoy a structured walk around your familiar neighborhood, which acts as a great mental 'sniffari' for checking scents and stretching legs. I incorporate your pet's own toys for fun games like hide-and-seek treats or use their existing puzzle feeders to prevent boredom while reinforcing good behavior. Also I prioritize quiet companionship, gentle petting, and cuddles to maintain their comfort level and reduce any stress from your absence.

Pet care experience

I'm Chio, a dedicated cat lover who treats every client's pet like my own. I grew up with stray cats and currently run a multi-cat household: I have my senior girl (14 years old) and my two active youngsters (2 and 1 year old), so I’m used to managing a wide range of needs and personalities! My goal is simple: to make sure your cat is safe, happy, and sticks to their routine so you can enjoy your time away worry-free. I truly love meeting new cats, hearing their owners brag about them, and taking the time to understand their unique quirks. I never rush a new friend. I understand that a cat needs space to warm up on their own terms (my own cats, are cautious with new people, so I get it!). I focus on giving gentle space and positive interaction until they decide it’s time for a head boop.

Let me know if you have any questions about me, thank you!

Rocio was a fantastic cat sitter! She was incredibly thorough, responsive, and professional. I will definitely book with her again! She went above and beyond. My cats liked her a lot.

I have known Chio for three years, and in that time she has been the most attentive, kind, loving and trustworthy pet caregiver! She has looked after my 80lb mutt, Bean, multiple times throughout the years. Bean is a dog that requires a lot of special care / attention: he is reactive, takes anxiety medications at certain times of the day, needs to go on walks while avoiding other dogs, and relys on a routine to help manage his anxiety. Chio took the initiative to get to know Bean before we left him in her care the first time and memorized his schedule completely. She also sends us awesome, detailed updates while Bean is in her care - so we don't worry while we're out of town (although, we always miss him!). I also know Chio has cared for other animals in the time I've known her. She has cared for cats, both adults and kittens, with different needs. If you'd like an empathetic, kind, and attentive pet caregiver - contact Chio!

Rocio has watched my cats many times while we were out of town, and she has been absolutely wonderful every single time. She’s responsible, attentive, and treats my cats like her own! I trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
