Pet care experience

Care for ONE family at a time!

I have over a decade of experience with animals. I lived on a farm from 1st grade-college. We have close to 100 animals; dogs, cats, horses, pigs, you name it! I’ve had all kinds of responsibilities- from cutting goats hooves to caring for an abandoned lamb for 12 weeks (bottle feeding every 3 hours). I have experience with exotics as well (reptiles, a coatimundi, etc). I graduated from high school early to volunteer for a month at a primate rehab center in Africa caring for 400 monkeys at a time.

Silvia was great, as always! Communicative, and helpful with little extras like watering my seedlings!

I drive 40 minutes one way just because that’s how happy my dog is with Sylvia and Sequoia.

(This is my second review, go read my first!). As a dual pilot household with no family in the area and 3 cats, we need care for our cats often. We are SO SO thankful for finding Silvia on here. She is truly the best! She is someone you can count on, reliable, responsive, and soo caring to our cats. We have booked her multiple times since we first booked her. Look no further, your animals will be in the best care!

Pets

A typical day

I like to keep your pets routine as normal as possible, whether that’s going on long walks, playing in the yard, or tons of cuddles! But, at the same time, I want your pet to have a vacation too, so any extra goodies and toys are always a plus.
