🐾 Experience with Pets

• Dog-sat and walked a wide range of breeds in NYC — from tiny Maltese to enthusiastic Boxers (yes, survived squirrel chases and the occasional tree collision 😂).

• Comfortable with small to medium dogs and calm larger breeds.

• Experienced with administering oral medications when required.

🧒 Background in Responsibility

• Swimming coach for children — responsible for safety, structure, and emotional trust.

• Patient, attentive, and calm under pressure.

• Highly aware of routines, boundaries, and accountability.

🏡 Home-Stay Care (Pets Stay in Their Comfort Zone)

I provide care exclusively in your home so your pet can remain in a familiar, low-stress environment.

• Maintains routine and reduces separation anxiety

• One-on-one attention

• Ideal for calm pets who thrive in their own space

📸 Daily Updates

• Photos, videos, and optional video calls

• Clear communication throughout the stay

• Peace of mind while you travel

🚶 Enrichment & Outings

• Regular walks and quality time

• Optional outings to places like Botanical Gardens or Marina Barrage (owner-funded)

• Focus on safe, enjoyable enrichment — not just basic supervision

🧾 Expectations & Fit

To ensure a positive experience for everyone, I am best suited for:

• Calm, well-adjusted pets

• Pawrents who value clear communication and mutual respect

I provide attentive care while maintaining a balanced routine.

Mutual trust and respect are important to me. I aim to provide responsible, peaceful care in an environment that works well for both your pet and myself.

📅 Meet & Greet / Reservation Policy

• A $35 consultation / travel fee applies for in-person meet-and-greets prior to confirmation.

• If the booking proceeds, this amount will be deducted from the final total.

• If the booking does not proceed, the fee covers time, travel, and scheduling reserved for the consultation.

🔒 Booking Commitment

• Dates are only secured once both parties confirm the booking.

• Last-minute cancellations or changes after confirmation may incur charges, especially where dates have been reserved and other enquiries declined.

• Confirmations within 48 hours of the job will incur a last-minute surcharge of $100.

⏳ Short-Notice Enquiries

• Urgent bookings are welcome where availability allows, but advance clarity on expectations, dates, and payment is appreciated before arranging a visit.

🤝 Respect for Time

• Pet sitting is a professional service involving time, travel, planning, and responsibility.

• I appreciate clear communication and timely decisions so arrangements remain fair for everyone.

• ✨ Professional Pet Care
I provide dedicated pet care, companionship, feeding, walks, medication (if required), and routine supervision. Household cleaning, laundry, cooking, or unrelated domestic tasks are not part of pet sitting services.

• ⏳ Reserved Professional Time
Pet sitting involves reserving dedicated dates, travel, and responsibility around your pet’s care. As such, meet-and-greets and confirmed bookings are treated as professional service arrangements rather than casual standby availability.
