Keeping Your Furry Friends Happy

With 3 years of hands-on experience providing dedicated care for a variety of pets, I have developed a strong skill set in maintaining the health, safety, and well-being of animals. My experience includes: Feeding & Dietary Management: Ensuring pets receive appropriate meals, tailored to their specific dietary needs, including managing feeding schedules and administering special diets or medications. Exercise & Enrichment: Organizing daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation activities for dogs, and providing enrichment activities to keep pets engaged and happy. This includes interactive toys, puzzle feeders, and grooming sessions. Health Monitoring: Observing pets for signs of illness or discomfort and alerting pet owners or veterinarians when necessary. Assisting with administering medications and managing post-surgery care. Safety & Cleanliness: Ensuring that pet environments are safe, clean, and secure. This includes maintaining pet areas, cleaning litter boxes, and managing pet-proofing in the home or the park Communication: Building trusting relationships with pet owners by providing regular updates on their pets' health and well-being, and addressing any concerns they may have. Multi-pet Care: Managing the care of multiple pets at once, ensuring each animal's individual needs are met while maintaining harmony in a multi-pet household.

Sonia was an incredible sitter for my cat, Domino. Her house is perfect for cats like mine who spend their days playing and looking out the window birdwatching. She sent daily pictures, videos and descriptions of what Domino got up to each day, and he looked very peaceful and content in each photo I received. Sonia was also very communicative and timely in her responses. I’d absolutely recommend Sonia to anyone looking for a sitter for their cat, and look forward to booking with her again in the future.

Sonia is an exceptional cat sitter who provides wonderful care for our beloved Luna-Belle. She is communicative, attentive, flexible, and, most importantly, has built a wonderful rapport with Luna, who clearly loves the time they spend together. Sonia has a fantastic selection of interactive pet toys that Luna thoroughly enjoys, as well as a lovely window seat where Luna can comfortably sit and bird-watch, one of her favorite activities. Overall, Sonia is extremely responsive and thoughtful. She asks the right questions to ensure that Luna’s care is tailored to her individual needs and preferences. It is evident that Sonia genuinely loves and cares for the animals she looks after, treating our fur babies with the same affection and attention that we do. We highly recommend Sonia’s cat-sitting services and would feel completely comfortable entrusting Luna to her care again.

Safety, trust & environment

The way I care for pets can vary depending on the service provided, whether it’s for my own pets or a client’s pets. Here’s how I typically approach pet care in different situations: Feeding & Hydration: I follow the client's specific instructions for feeding, whether it’s a regular schedule or special dietary needs. I make sure fresh water is always available. Exercise & Walks: I make sure the pets get their regular walks or playtime sessions. For dogs, I’ll take them on walks, runs, or play sessions at the park . For cats, I may engage them with interactive toys or give them time to roam and explore in a safe space.

A typical day

I will go on walks to the park with the dogs to let them burn energy and I will play with the kittens or cats at my home with toys.
