Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my client's home, I provide personalized and attentive service tailored to each pet's needs. My approach includes: 1. Daily Care: Ensuring pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and receive any necessary medications. 2. Exercise and Play: Taking dogs for daily walks, engaging in playtime, and providing mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. 3. Litter Box Maintenance: Regularly cleaning and refreshing litter boxes to maintain a clean environment. 4. Grooming: Basic grooming tasks such as brushing fur, trimming nails, and cleaning ears. 5. Comfort and Companionship: Spending quality time with pets, offering affection and companionship to alleviate any anxiety they may feel in their owner's absence. 6. Home Security: Keeping an eye on the home, bringing in mail, watering plants, and ensuring everything is secure. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by maintaining their usual routines and providing exceptional care.

Sofia was so fantastic in communicating before and during Michigan’s sitting. Felt totally comfortable leaving Michigan with her and giving her total access to my house while away. She even took pictures to check in during the sitting. I highly recommend Sofia to other pet parents. 10/10

Sofia did a great job watching our dog, Moby. Moby is usually scared of new people and spends a lot of time in his crate when we leave, but Sofia sent us pictures of him cuddling on the couch and lots of updates! She asked questions and demonstrated a lot of care and compassion. Additionally, she was super nice and flexible. I would trust her with Moby and in our home anytime!

Before pet sitting, it's crucial to gather detailed information about the pets to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness. Here are key details to know: Health and Medical Needs: 1. Medical Conditions: Any chronic conditions, allergies, or recent illnesses. 2. Medications: Dosage, schedule, and administration instructions for any medications. 3. Veterinarian Information: Contact details of their regular vet and emergency vet services. Daily Routine: 1. Feeding Schedule: Types of food, portion sizes, and specific feeding times. 2. Exercise Needs: Preferred activities, walk times, and any restrictions. 3. Sleep Routine: Usual sleep spots and any bedtime rituals. Behavior and Preferences: 1. Temperament: General behavior, including any fears, anxieties, or aggressive tendencies. 2. Favorite Activities: Preferred toys, games, and activities they enjoy. House Rules: 1. Allowed Areas: Specific areas of the house where pets are allowed or restricted. 2. Commands and Training: Common commands they respond to and any ongoing training. 3. Bathroom Routine: Litter box habits for cats or designated bathroom spots for dogs. Emergency Protocols: 1. Emergency Contacts: Alternate contacts in case the owner is unreachable. 2. Emergency Procedures: Steps to take in case of a medical emergency or other urgent situations. Collecting this information helps create a comfortable and familiar environment for the pets, ensuring their well-being while their owners are away.
