Hey it’s Lyra

•Full time pet sitter

•Vet nursing experience

•8 years of pet sitting experience (2016)

•Currently located in Farrer Park

These are the locations I cover :

Novena, Newton, Orchard, River Valley, Bugis, Kallang, CBD and Farrer Park.

(Anywhere within these areas on a daily basis)

If you are requesting from outside these areas, I would love to help if possible.

Being a caretaker for eight years has given me the confidence in handling all types of pets. I have experience with young playful puppies, senior dogs, handicap dogs with mobility issues, large dogs, aggressive dogs or dogs with separation anxiety. After gaining vet nursing experience at a vet clinic, I am able to monitor a pet for signs of discomfort and tell when they are not well. I can also look after pets who require extra care or have a condition.

I look after a maximum of 5 dogs at a time (non-peak period).

Pet owners who are requesting for emergency or last minute bookings will be considered.

No last minute cancellation please.

Transportation of pets can be arranged if needed, with an additional cost.

I have helped owners correct their pet’s behavioral issues like mild to moderate separation anxiety and picky eating habits.

As a cat owner, I am equipped with toys and soft blankets. If you own multiple number of cats I will be happy to board them together. My cat is always looking forward to meeting new friends! He is friendly with both cats and dogs.

Cats with chronic kidney disease are welcome to stay with me as I will provide extensive care for them.

I am not able to care for cats who are FIV positive* or have cat flu

All pets can roam freely in the flat provided they are house trained.

Your dogs can join the pack of dogs who come to my place regularly!

I have experience in caring for many different dog breeds like chihuahuas, poodles, shiba Inu's and frenchies. To Larger ones like chow chows, Labradors, Bernese Mountain Dog and Golden Retrievers.

I provide walks daily giving them the exercise they need.

*Priority booking goes to regulars during peak period. (Chinese new year, Christmas etc.).

In my neighborhood :

•24hr Vet Hospital is 5 minute drive away.

•Nearest Vet Clinic is a 10 min walk away

•Nearest dog cafe is 5 minutes drive away.

•Pet lovers centre is 10 minutes walk away.

•Pet physiotherapy centre 5 minutes drive away.

After loosing my adopted senior cat to chronic kidney disease, I learnt the importance of feeding pets human grade quality food to keep them healthy.

If your pet is on a raw or cooked diet I can help prepare their meals!

I do not drive but transportation can be arranged. I use Grabpets or Taxis

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

•Owners have to take full responsibility if their pet bites or attacks other humans or pets during their stay with me. An unforeseen incident has occurred before. The dog was friendly towards both pets and humans but bit a stranger during his walk. Dogs have a protective instinct and might bite out of the blue.

•Please do not place your reactive/anxious dog/cat in front of other pets during visitation or hand off without proper introduction. Always keep the leash on during visitation. Other pets are my responsibility too.

•Emergency contact provided has to be in Singapore at the same time the pet stays with me. In any case the owner is not contactable the emergency contact has to be reachable at all times.

•Dogs with severe separation anxiety (Howling, barking or whining non stop for hours. Accidents in the home when left alone. Destructive behavior) should seek professional corrective help. These behaviors are out of my control to rectify and take a long time to correct. People in my home need their rest and I cannot care for dogs with these extreme behaviors.
