Pet care experience

Hey, it’s lovely to meet you! I’m Skylynn! But my friends call me Cielo :) From cuddly kittens to wise old pups, pets have been part of my world since I could walk! I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats through every stage—from zooming-around-the-house puppies to sweet seniors who just want a comfy nap buddy. But my care goes far beyond food bowls and leashes! I tailor walks and playtime to match each pet’s energy, keep a close eye on special diets, and gently handle medications and supplements when needed. I even handle brushing and nail trims to help your furry little fur ball feel their best! I’m all about making pets feel safe, loved, and happy! Whether they’re shy, spunky, cuddly, or curious, I tune into their emotional needs—offering play, snuggles, and calm companionship that makes them feel right at home. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years because I treat every pet like family—because to me, they are! And the love doesn’t stop at cats and dogs! I’ve also grown up around horses, cows, and reptiles, giving me a well-rounded understanding of animals big, small, and scaly! No matter who I’m caring for, I bring kindness, patience, and a whole lot of heart to every visit! (También hablo español :)

When Sky arrived, she had such positive energy. Chesna immediately jumped up in her lap and laid down. Sky was so intuitive to Chesna's mood and body language, which is exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely be hiring her again.

Mika is a reactive dog around strangers, and this was her very first time staying alone without me — so it wasn’t an easy situation. The first few hours were tough, but Sky, with so much patience, love, and sensitivity, managed to earn Mika’s trust and affection on the very first day. It was truly amazing. 🤩 On top of that, Sky gave me so much peace of mind by sending frequent updates and photos of Mika, which really helped ease my anxiety. ADEMÁS que habla español, mi idioma nativo, así que no pude estar más cómoda en nuestra comunicación. Sky —a name that couldn’t be more fitting— is a kind, respectful, communicative, and very responsible young woman. I would trust her with Mika again a thousand times over. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sky! 💖

I cannot recommend Cielo enough!!! 🐶🐱 She watched my 1-year-old Australian Shepherd puppy (who is very energetic 😅) and my two rescued cats (both super shy 🐈🐈) while I was out of town, and I swear, my babies were in such good hands!! 💕 She stayed overnight in my home, kept everything tidy, and followed all the pets’ routines down to the letter (and even gave my picky pup a little extra TLC at mealtime to make sure she ate 🥹🍽️). My cats, who usually hide from everyone, actually came out and cuddled her after a day or two—like WHAT?! 💥 She sent me regular updates and so many cute pictures and videos 📸🐾 (like, multiple times a day, not just the “here’s your pet alive” kind of update LOL). It made being away a lot easier because I could actually see how happy and relaxed they were. I came home to a clean house, happy pets, and even a little note with a summary of how everything went 🥰📝. She really went above and beyond and treated my fur babies like they were her own. If you’re looking for someone who’s caring, trustworthy, communicative, and totally obsessed with animals (in the best way), she’s the one. 💯🙌 —  Cielo’s #1 fan 🐾💖 Paige

Qué chulada haber tenido a Cielo cuidando a mis tres bendiciones peludas! Me fui de viaje una semana y, la neta, no sabía si iba a poder relajarme sabiendo que Gio (mi Yorkshire que se cree pastor alemán) y mis dos gatos (Reina y Chilaquil) iban a estar sin mí. Pero desde el primer día supe que estaban en excelentes manos. Cielo no solo se quedó en mi casa toda la semana, también les dio todo el cariño y atención como si fueran suyos. Gio salió diario a caminar bien feliz, hasta con su pechito inflado como si anduviera en pasarela. Y eso que es bien delicadito con la gente nueva! Pero con Cielo se encariñó rapidísimo. Los gatos también la amaron —y eso ya es decir mucho porque Reina es bien especial y Chilaquil no se deja tocar por cualquiera. Pero ahí andaban, ronroneando y durmiendo cerquita de ella como si nada. Algo que me encantó fue que Cielo habla español. Se siente bien bonito poder comunicarte con alguien sin tener que estar traduciendo todo en la cabeza, y se nota que lo habla con cariño. Hasta con mis vecinos pudo platicar cuando se los topaba sacando a Gio. Todo fluyó de maravilla. Además, mi casa quedó impecable, como si no hubiera pasado una semana con pelos de gato por todos lados. Me mandaba fotitos y videos todos los días, y me contaba cómo iban. Cero estrés para mí, puro gusto. Cielo es súper atenta, responsable, cariñosa con los animales, y también muy respetuosa con el espacio ajeno. Hasta me dejó plantitas más derechitas que como las dejé. Sinceramente, le confiaría a mis animalitos (y mi casa) las veces que sea. Si estás buscando a alguien que cuide a tus mascotas con amor de verdad y que te dé paz mientras no estás, no busques más. Cielo es la indicada. Con toda la buena vibra, Orlando G. (Orgulloso papá de Gio, Reina y Chilaquil)

I choose to care for pets in their own home, because my #1 goal is to make everything feel just right—for both you and your fluffy buddy! I follow your instructions closely to keep routines familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys, or cozy sleeping spots, I make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and totally at ease! I treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pet. Clean, tidy, and trustworthy is the name of my game! I always double-check doors, gates, and anything safety-related to make sure your pet stays secure and happy while you’re away. You can count on regular updates (and cute photos, of course!) so you know your pet is in loving hands. Familiar smells, their own bed, and a loving sitter? That’s a recipe for tail wags and purrs all around!

Information Skylynn P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for—things like allergies, anxiety triggers, mobility issues, or anything unique to their routine or personality. It’s super helpful to know if they’re shy around new people, don’t like other dogs, have separation anxiety, or need medication at certain times. Even little quirks, like being afraid of thunderstorms or not liking their paws touched, help me care for them better. The more I know ahead of time, the more I can make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and totally loved while you’re away.

A typical day

Every day with your pets is all about keeping them happy, comfortable, and feeling loved. I stick to their usual routine so they feel safe and relaxed, and we spend our time doing whatever they enjoy most—whether that’s playing with toys, going for a walk, soaking up some sun, or just hanging out together. For seniors, I’m all about taking things at their pace—gentle strolls, cozy nap spots, and lots of TLC like brushing or belly rubs. Whether your pet is playful, cuddly, or prefers quiet companionship, I’m there to keep them company and make sure they’re having a calm, happy, and love-filled time while you’re away.

I work part-time with mostly short morning shifts—so pet care fits perfectly into my day! I have plenty of time in the afternoons, evenings, and even weekends to give your four-legged-ball-of-joy the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a midday walk, dinner and snuggles, or a weekend playdate, I’ve got the time (and the love!) to spare. Caring for animals brings me so much joy—it never feels like “extra” work, just the best part of my day! 🐾💛
