Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide consistent and attentive care. I am free most, if not all, weekends, which gives me plenty of time whether it’s for drop-in visits, extended stays, or overnight care. During the week, I may also have availability depending on my schedule, making it easier to accommodate pet care needs, including last-minute requests.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment where pets feel secure. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s regular routine to minimize stress, ensuring they receive familiar care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I’m diligent about securing the home, keeping dangerous items out of reach, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. If pets stay in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of enrichment and supervision to keep them safe and happy. I also create a calm, low-stress environment to help pets adjust and feel at ease. Communication is key so I keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are in loving hands.

Information Yovana M. would like to know about your pet

I aim for best care. Therefore, I encourage for you to let me know about any medical needs that your pet requires. I am experienced in giving any oral medications, injectables, fluid administrations, etc.. Please do not hesitate in asking any questions or concerns.

A typical day

Whether it is a nice walk, run, treat puzzle, dog park visit or just some warm cuddles. Your fur baby will be safe and happy.

Pet care experience

As a vet tech with the goal of being a Veterinarian I have years of experience, I provide compassionate, knowledgeable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have worked with a wide range of animals, from high-energy puppies requiring extra playtime and positive reinforcement to senior pets needing gentle care, medication management, and mobility support. My expertise extends to administering medications, monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health, and handling pets with anxiety or special needs. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to quickly recognize signs of illness or distress, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, or providing extra cuddles, I’m dedicated to keeping your pets happy and healthy while you’re away.

Had a fantastic experience with Yovana! Communication was excellent throughout—she kept me updated with regular messages and adorable photo updates. Super reliable and clearly very sweet with my dog, who looked happy and relaxed in every picture. It’s such a relief to find someone you can really trust with your fur baby. Highly recommend!
