About: I’ve grown up rescuing kittens from the streets and healing them to health. I have two healthy cats at home that I take care of every day. They are fully vaccines and healthy. I have a passion for cats, so I am always doing research to get a better understanding of how they may think. I'm currently working full-time from home, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I get many breaks during my working hours. I love my two cats, I never discipline them by yelling. They are allowed on the furniture and have a tree house to play in and many toys all throughout the home. I work from home so I'm always around and I rarely go out. I like being home. I also get breaks to go out and do any drop ins. I live in a three bedroom apartment. There is one bedroom dedicated as my cat room, which has a cat house, scratch post, wooden home and many toys and tunnels for play. I have toys for them everywhere and constantly buying new toys. My cats love the their playroom. Right outside the window is a tree where some birds and squirrels pass, they love to lay on the hammock and look at the window.
About: Hello There! My name is Fernanda, I am 30 years old and currently making a career change from engineering to veterinary medicine—following my true passion for animal care. I’m a passionate and experienced pet sitter with years of hands-on care for dogs, cats, and small animals. I've worked with pets of all ages and temperaments, including those with medical needs or special diets. With a background in animal emergency care, I’m trained to stay calm under pressure and act fast if something goes wrong—your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I treat every pet like family and love building bonds through play, snuggles, and daily routines. My ultimate goal is to become a veterinarian, so I bring both heart and future professional dedication to every pet I meet. Whether it's a weekend getaway or regular walks, you can count on me for reliable, loving care. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I'm currently working part time, so that gives me the flexibility to adjust to your pet's needs. I am mainly available during the afternoons, after 12pm, but I can help with the morning routine if needed before 8am. I am free on the weekends and most holidays. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play, and any special needs—to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my home, I make sure the space is pet-safe, clean, and cozy, with plenty of enrichment and attention. If I’m in the client’s home, I treat it with the utmost respect and care, keeping things tidy while giving their pet lots of love and personalized care. I believe every pet deserves to feel at ease, even when their humans are away!
