Cat care experience

I have a flexible time frame, I keep pet parents updated on pending availability as I accept bookings through the day & when I'm booked. !!!Please note that Holidays are always booked in advance fast! But if your time is flexible, I am willing to squeeze you in!!! Volunteering at animal shelters & working in the veterinary field; I've learn to introduce myself to multiple cat-attitudes; handling their quirks, understanding their 'language', & following through with detailed instructions to make sure they have the outmost care. My heart goes to senior pets that need that extra attention to either need help with medications; oral/injections, gentle proper handling/cleaning. I'm encouraging attention for cats, they need fair attention as well like dogs. I have five cats in my family & as a pet parent, I want their care to be in the right hands too, just like my dog. Are they scared/shy of new guests? Do they attempt to escape when door is open? What are their common spots they hide/feel comfortable? Any rooms they are NOT allowed in to check if they're closed? Any Vomit/Diarrhea recent history prior to visit? This will help me know if its 'common' , for example for vomiting hairballs on floors vs a medical concern. Does your pet need special needs such as: help placing/removing mobility wheel chair/diaper changes/bandage care/ handicapped needs? Any medication instructions? Please note that my experience working in the vet field; I am not authorized to give professional treatment advice. Thank you.

Safety, trust & environment

I don't force pets to be stressed over a new person coming to their home to sit or if they stay overnight with me at home, I really try to keep it as natural for them. Your routine for walks, at home stays, day care, are all considered to keep your pet comfortable. I would like to know the pet parent's notes on a pet's favorite activities/dislikes/medications/warnings etc.

Information Yesenia R. would like to know about your pet

CATS: Are they scared/shy of new guests? Do they attempt to escape when door is open? What are their common spots they hide/feel comfortable? Any rooms they are NOT allowed in to check if they're closed? Any Vomit/Diarrhea recent history prior to visit? This will help me know if its 'common' , for example for vomiting hairballs on floors vs a medical concern. Does your pet need special needs such as: help placing/removing mobility wheel chair/diaper changes/bandage care/ handicapped needs? Any medication instructions? DOGS: Does your pet pull during walks? Is your pet reactive encountering other animals during walks such as; squirrels/cats/dogs? Does your pet need special needs such as: help up the stairs, placing/removing mobility wheel chair, handicapped needs? Any medication instructions? Allergies? Social or reserved from other animals during day care/stay over night bookings?

A typical day

I understand not every pet is the same. Some dogs aren't as social, I respect if their walk is strictly around the neighborhood, not far away from their home. Other dogs are very social & full of energy, there are cute parks for them to explore I would enjoy to share with them, plus they could meet new friends there too. I would like to know the pet parent's notes on a pet's favorite activities/dislikes/medications/warnings etc.
