Pet care experience

Paws-itively the Best Furbaby Care

My name is Yvonne, and I have over 40 years of experience caring for animals of all types. Growing up with dogs, I’ve always had a deep connection with them, and in recent years, I’ve had the pleasure of cat-sitting for many of my friends. I treat each animal I care for as if they were my own, and I am comfortable with a range of care needs. I've worked with senior dogs and have provided extended care, including administering IV fluids and oral medications. Whether it’s dogs or cats, small or large, I’ve cared for a variety of breeds and sizes and am experienced in tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs. Having owned many dogs throughout my life, I understand the importance of treating pets like family members and providing them with the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s for a day or an extended stay, I’m happy to help with whatever services you need and look forward to taking care of your furry companion!

Safety, trust & environment

Having grown up with dogs, I’m very familiar with the importance of closely monitoring their behavior and taking the necessary steps to ensure their safety and comfort in their own environment. Recently, I've also gained experience caring for cats, learning to understand when they crave attention and when they prefer some space, which allows me to cater to their needs based on their mood. I believe in leading with love, as I feel this is the key to helping any pet feel accepted, happy, and secure in their own space.

Before watching a pet, it’s important to understand their daily routine, including feeding schedules, walk or playtime preferences, and any specific habits or rituals they’re used to. I like to know about their health needs, such as medications, allergies, or any conditions that require special attention, as well as their personality and behavior—whether they’re shy, energetic, or have any quirks like being nervous around strangers or loud noises. For dogs, it’s helpful to learn their leash preferences, favorite walking routes, and known commands, while for cats, understanding their litter box routine, favorite toys, and comfort levels with handling is key. I also ask about treats, house rules, and emergency contacts to ensure I can provide the best and safest care possible.
