Pet care experience

Pet-sitter expérimentée et fiable

Les animaux ont toujours occupé une place très importante dans ma vie. J’ai grandi avec deux chiens, ce qui m’a permis de développer dès mon plus jeune âge un amour profond et un lien naturel avec les animaux. J’adore autant les chiens que les chats, et je prends un réel plaisir à passer du temps avec eux, à comprendre leur personnalité et à veiller à ce qu’ils se sentent en sécurité et bien entourés. Ce qui me distingue, c’est que je ne considère pas cela comme un simple travail. Je suis très attentive, douce et patiente, et je fais particulièrement attention au confort, à l’humeur et aux habitudes de chaque animal. Mon expérience dans le domaine de la santé m’a rendue très responsable et observatrice, ce qui me permet de remarquer rapidement les petits changements et de toujours privilégier la sécurité et le bien-être. Que ce soit pour des moments de jeu dynamiques, une présence calme et rassurante ou le respect d’une routine précise, je m’adapte aux besoins de chaque animal. Je considère chaque animal comme un membre de la famille et je veille à ce qu’il se sente aimé, en confiance et heureux pendant votre absence. -- Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with two dogs and developed a deep love and natural connection with animals from a young age. I adore both dogs and cats and I truly enjoy spending time with them, understanding their personalities, and making them feel safe and cared for. What sets me apart is that I don’t see this as just a job. I’m very attentive, gentle, and patient, and I pay close attention to each pet’s comfort, mood, and routine. My background in healthcare has made me especially responsible and observant, so I’m quick to notice small changes and always prioritize safety and well-being. Whether it’s energetic playtime, relaxing companionship, or keeping to a specific routine, I adapt to what each animal needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while you’re away.

Shifra a su tout de suite mettre en confiance Roma qui d'habitude est méfiante envers les inconnus. Elle s’en est très bien occupée. Merci beaucoup !

Shifra a été tout simplement incroyable avec mes trois chiens! Dès le premier jour, elle a su créer un lien fort et rassurant avec chacun d’eux, et j’ai pu partir l’esprit tranquille. Sa douceur, sa patience et son attention aux besoins de mes chiens étaient impressionnantes. chaque retour de promenade ou de séance avec elle montrait à quel point ils l’adoraient et se sentaient en sécurité. Je ne peux que recommander Shifra pour tous ceux qui cherchent un dog sitter de confiance et vraiment passionnée par les animaux. Merci encore pour tout.

When Shifra house sat for my three cats, she proved herself to be a responsible and loving caregiver. My cats thrived in her care. Her love of animals was obvious to me. I highly recommend Shifra for any job with household pets.

Shifra is an incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet caregiver. She treats every pet like her own, communicates clearly, and always goes the extra mile to make animals feel safe, happy, and loved. I would absolutely trust her with any pet.

Shifra is warm and extremely trustworthy. She took care of my cats for 2 weeks over the summer while I was abroad and took exceptional care of them. She sent me regular updates and pictures/videos of them and stayed true to their routine. I would highly recommend her service!

Schedule

Pet care fits very easily into my routine. I work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to focus on the pets I’m caring for. I’m available during the week and on weekends, and I can adjust my schedule to meet different needs — whether that’s drop-in visits, walks, boarding, or last-minute care. Because I’m at home part-time, I can give pets consistent attention and companionship throughout the day, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I take the safety and well-being of pets very seriously. In my home, cats stay in a calm, quiet environment where they have space to explore, relax, and feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their routines, familiar spaces, and comfort levels, keeping everything consistent to reduce stress. I always follow feeding schedules, administer any medication as needed, and maintain clean litter boxes and fresh water. I move calmly, observe pets carefully, and adjust my approach to each animal’s personality. Above all, I aim to build trust with both pets and their owners, so you can feel completely confident that your furry family members are safe, happy, and cared for.

A typical day

A typical day is built around each pet’s routine and personality. I start by making sure they’re comfortable, have fresh water, and are fed on schedule. For dogs, the day usually includes walks, outdoor time, and play sessions to keep them active and stimulated. I also make time for calmer moments — cuddles, rest, and simply being present so they feel secure and not alone. For cats, I focus on keeping their environment calm and familiar. This includes playtime if they enjoy it, gentle interaction, and respecting their space when they prefer independence. I keep litter areas clean, refresh food and water, and make sure they have cozy spots to relax. Throughout the day, I pay attention to their mood and energy level and adjust activities to what they need — whether that’s exercise, enrichment, or quiet companionship. My goal is for pets to feel safe, engaged, and loved, like they’re on a little vacation of their own.

Before caring for a pet, I like to understand their routine, personality, and any special needs. It’s helpful to know their feeding schedule, favorite activities, and how they typically behave around new people. I also ask about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or sensitivities, as well as what is normal for their appetite and energy levels. For dogs, I like to know about leash behavior, training cues, and how they interact with other dogs or people. For cats, it’s helpful to understand their comfort level with strangers, hiding spots, and litter preferences. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can keep their routine consistent and make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
