Trusted Caregiver for Puppies, Senior Dogs, and Mu
Pet care experience
I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and birds such as parrots and cockatiels. I’ve taken care of different breeds, from small lap dogs to larger hunting breeds, and I’m comfortable with both puppies and senior dogs. I have also cared for multiple pets simultaneously, managing their individual needs and routines effectively. Although I don’t have formal training as a dog trainer, I am very empathetic and patient with animals, which helps me build strong bonds with them quickly. I’m experienced in giving medications when needed, including administering medicine to cats and dogs, and I have some knowledge of basic first aid for people. My experience includes living in different countries like Japan, Sweden, and Norway, where I cared for pets with various temperaments and needs. I’m used to staying in the owner’s home to provide 24/7 care, making sure pets get their meals, walks (both long and short), and lots of attention. I’m comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and personalities, always adapting to the specific relationship between the pet and their owner. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.
Reviews
Silvia took wonderful care of my cats in Kyoto. She showed them lots of care and affection, and although my cats used to be shy they weren't at all around here. She also took excellent care of my home, and left it in an even cleaner state than when she'd arrived! I highly recommend Silvia - I'm sure your pets will love her!
Silvia took wonderful care of my dog Yelapa while she was staying with me through Couchsurfing. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and responsible. Yelapa was always so happy to see her, which says a lot about how well Silvia treated her. I highly recommend Silvia as a loving and trustworthy pet caregiver!
Silvia is truly exceptional!!! From the moment she arrived, it was clear that Marcie, my dog, was in the best possible hands. Silvia stayed with me while I spent 11 days traveling to the US. Traveling to a different continent and leaving Marcie behind was a daunting experience, but Silvia made the entire process incredibly smooth and worry-free. Her warmth and professionalism instantly put me at ease. Marcie formed a particularly special bond with Silvia right from the start. It was evident that Marcie was not just being looked after, but was genuinely happy and comfortable. Silvia sent regular updates and photos, which reassured me that Marcie was thriving in my absence. Knowing that Marcie was so well cared for allowed me to enjoy my trip without worry. Upon returning to my apartment in Oslo, I was amazed at how spotless and well-maintained everything was—far cleaner than when I had left! Silvia's meticulous attention to detail extended beyond her care for Marcie to the care of my home as well. She even went above and beyond by preparing delicious meals during the days we spent together after I got back from my trip, adding an extra touch of kindness and hospitality that I deeply appreciated. Silvia is not only kind and considerate, but also incredibly self-sufficient and responsible. She is easy to communicate with, thoughtful, and genuinely interesting to talk to. Having her as a house sitter was an absolute pleasure, and I felt completely confident leaving both Marcie and my home in her care. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet and home with the highest level of care and respect, Silvia is an outstanding choice. Her dedication, warmth, and reliability make her truly one of a kind, and I can't recommend her highly enough. If you require any further information or wish to discuss this reference in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Silvia has watched my dog Rex several times. He loves her and gets along with her well and she takes good care of dogs. He is always very happy and well taken care of when she’s been watching him.

Safety, trust & environment
When I stay at the owner’s home, I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I provide regular feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, while also keeping the home clean and safe. I respect any specific instructions given and make sure the pet feels comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. I don’t currently host pets in my own home, but I’m very flexible and happy to adapt to the needs of each pet and household.
Information Silvia C. would like to know about your pet
It’s important to know if the pet has any specific medical needs, allergies, or dietary restrictions. I also need to understand their behavior, energy levels, and any preferences or dislikes they may have. If the pet has any habits, anxieties, or dislikes, I want to ensure that I can follow the owner's guidelines to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible
A typical day
I will make sure the pets I look after are entertained and active. We will go for walks, play fetch, and do fun exercises based on the instructions provided by the owners. Every activity will be tailored to the pet’s personality and energy level, making sure they have a good time and stay happy.

Pet care is a regular part of my routine. I organize my days around feeding, cleaning, spending quality time with the animals, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. When I’m pet sitting, I adjust my schedule to be fully present and meet their needs throughout the day.
