“We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver to our 2 little dogs. Judy was absolutely wonderful with them and gave them the best attention and care while we were gone that week. Excellent communication throughout with pictures and updates and gave them so much love and attention. Took great care of our home and left things very clean when we returned. We will definitely contact Judy in the future to care for our little girls. So very grateful!”

About: I've had pets since I was a child. My best friend and I would catch lizards and insects growing up. I've volunteered at my local shelter (in Florida), and I often visit shelters to give animals attention. Friends and coworkers know me for my love for animals and entrust me with their care when they are away for a work day or an extended period of time. LGBTQIA+ friendly Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I live and work full-time in downtown St. Paul with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide care on workdays—whether that’s walks, check-ins, or some quality time. On weekends, I’m able to dedicate full days to pet care. I love going on neighborhood walks and outdoor excursions when the weather’s nice, and I’d be happy to have your fur baby join me. I always meet each pet where they’re at, whether they need lots of activity or a little extra emotional support. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I focus on giving each animal the kind of attention and interaction that fits their personality. I’m happy to provide all the pets, cuddles, and playtime they want, but I always let them set the pace. I love playing fetch, being chased (or doing the chasing!), and I’m comfortable engaging in a bit of rough play with larger breeds when appropriate to help them burn off energy. I always respect an animal’s space and let them approach me first. With cats, for example, I’ll take things slowly and use gentle cues like slow blinking to help build trust. Whether your pet loves being a lap companion or just wants a calm presence nearby, I’m attentive to their needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in any environment.

“Luliia took care of our two big guys for 10 days, giving them all the love and attention they needed while we were gone. We could rest easy knowing that our dogs were in good hands and someone was watching over our home. When we came home, our house was in better shape than when we left it. Highly recommend — will definitely be using Luliia again!”

“Paige was such a gift! We loved all the photo updates while we were away and it's clear Paige is quite the cat whisperer. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girls 🥰”

About: I have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own. One of my pups is a rambunctious puppy and the other is getting up into his senior years. My puppy is self taught and already knows over 10 tricks, he’s still young so hopefully we can squeeze a few more in. My senior pup I got later on in his life, I taught him a few tricks but he can get stubborn in his years😅 all of my cats are healthy, except for the oldest who only has 3 teeth(she was like this when I adopted her) and those 3 teeth are going strong! No matter how much I pushed wet food she always went for her sisters dry food that is left out. On of my cats in the past was a wobbly kitty so I also have experience with special needs. All of my pets were adopted from AHS! A little more about me: I am a full time paraprofessional at a level 4 year round autism school, my hours there are 8am-3:30pm. I recently transitioned to schools this past year and have loved it. Then I work Saturdays at a group home for disabled adults, my hours there are 8am-12pm one week and 8am-8pm the other. I’ve been with this company for almost 6 years and have played multiple roles from a DSP-Program manager. I can assure you I know how to handle things in tense situations! These hours still give me plenty of time to play with your fur babies, I know the one Saturday can get long but I will make sure they get a good walk and fed before leaving and returning home! (If the stay is in my home though, I have other people that can let them out for a quick potty breaks if you allow.) First thing I do is feed my cats and dogs when I get up, they don’t let me forget. I’m constantly cleaning up all their toys and clean their litterbox twice weekly. My dogs get a quick walk in the morning and we always finish the night with some training and a longer walk before bed. If I am in your home I will follow your guidelines that you give, whether that be potty breaks/ meal times/ exercise/ meds, whatever you need! In my home I will still follow your schedule but I have a chain for them to go outside quickly, a nice field next to my house(not completely fenced) that we can run around in or if you are okay with me taking them in my car there’s a few trails and a fenced park less than 2 miles from me!
