About me:

My name is Claudia, and animals have always been at the heart of my life. I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, and that bond has only grown stronger over the years. I truly believe pets are family members, not just animals and I treat them exactly like that.

My motivation:

I became a pet sitter because I know how stressful it can be to leave a furry family member behind. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you're away, by providing reliable, loving care that follows your pet's routine and keeps them happy and comfortable.

My experience:

I shared 20 wonderful years with my childhood cat, caring for her through every stage of life from playful kittenhood to her senior years, including medications and special attention. I've also rescued and raised two street cats back home, who are now thriving and spoiled. Additionally, I cared for an English Bulldog until the end of his life, so I understand the needs of dogs too. Currently, I live with a Schnauzer and regularly walk four neighborhood dogs, keeping them active and engaged.

How I work:

• 🐕 Dog walks: I offer 30-minute walks, and I'm happy to extend to 45 or 60 minutes if your pup needs more exercise. I walk at your dog's pace and adjust to their energy level and age.
• 🏠 Home visits: Each visit is 30 minutes, focused on feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and cuddles. If your pet needs medication, I can administer it calmly and confidently.
• 🏡 House sitting: I stay overnight in your home and spend most of the day with your pets. I leave only for my Friday classes (Master's degree) and a few hours of work during the week. The rest of the time, I'm there keeping your pets company, following their routine, and making sure they feel safe.
• 🩺 Emergencies: I stay calm under pressure. If any health issue arises, I'll contact you immediately and follow your instructions. I'm comfortable administering medications and can take your pet to the vet if needed.
• 😿 Shy or anxious pets: I have experience with rescued cats and dogs who needed time to trust. I let them set the pace — no rushing, no forcing. I use gentle body language, quiet energy, and lots of patience. Whether they want space or eventually come for cuddles, I meet them where they are.

My availability:

I'm available most days of the week, with full flexibility except Fridays (my Master's class day). Mornings, evenings, and weekends are wide open for walks, visits, or overnight stays.

Vaccination policy:

Since I care for pets exclusively in your home, I don't require vaccination proof but I always follow your instructions and respect your pet's needs.

Peace of mind:

I send daily photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and loved.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐱🐶
