Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with animals personally and volunteering at animal shelter so I am comfortable taking care of cats and dogs. On a personal note I am a calm person which I think helps keeping animals calm.

Information Vipul S. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know what the pet likes or doesn’t like, their temperament. If there’s any special needs or dietary restrictions that is also good to know. Till the time we are communicating the needs everything should be good and an enjoyable time for the pet and me :)

A typical day

It depends on what the pet enjoys doing. If you tell me few of their favorite activities or toys I can do those things. For cats I can try to teach them how to high five and with dogs I'd be happy to run around if they'd like.

Pet care experience

I am a cat dad and dog uncle so have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, changing and cleaning cat litter box, give lots of love and cuddles, playing with and caring for your pets. I have been a volunteer at the Humane Society of Missouri. I am an animal lover would care for your fur babies as my own. When taking care of your pet, I will send regular updates and photos so while your away you wont have to worry about a thing. If you have anymore questions or other requests like water your plants or bringing in mail while I check on your pets feel free to message me for further details. I look forward to meeting your pets!
