Hi, my name is Lily, and I’ve grown up with pets from a young age. My love for animals began with my first pet, a guinea pig, and later our family welcomed two cats and a dog. Growing up with animals taught me that every pet has their own personality and boundaries, which I deeply respect. When I care for a cat, I always start with calm and gentle contact. I take the time to let the cat get used to me and carefully observe what feels comfortable for them. I believe it’s important to let the cat set the pace and decide what is possible. If a cat prefers some distance at first, that is completely fine—I create a calm presence and give them the space they need. If the cat allows it, I enjoy spending time playing together or quietly sitting nearby. When a cat feels comfortable enough for cuddles, I’m more than happy to offer attention and affection. I am usually available at least twice a day to spend quality time with your pet, whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I easily adapt my approach to shy, independent, or very social cats. When caring for any pet, I like to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. A typical day includes feeding at the agreed times, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also have experience with administering medication and have previously cared for a cat with asthma, including following a strict medication schedule. I handle medication carefully and according to your instructions, and I always keep a close eye on your pet’s wellbeing. For dogs, I enjoy going on walks that usually last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on their energy level and needs. I am calm and patient with shy or nervous animals and playful with more energetic ones, always adjusting my approach to each animal’s behavior. In case of unexpected situations or emergencies, I will always contact you immediately to discuss what to do and follow your instructions carefully. Clear communication is very important to me. During my time caring for your pet, I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos, so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. At the moment, I don’t have pets of my own, which allows me to fully focus on caring for yours. I am responsible, caring, and attentive, and I will treat your pet as if they were my own.
