🐶🐱 Certified Companion Animal Nurse. For the past four years, I worked as a veterinary nurse, always thinking about what’s best for both owners and their pets. I hold a national certification as a Companion Animal Nurse, and I use that experience to provide tailored care for each individual pet. I’m especially good at reading a pet’s feelings and helping them feel relaxed. From small dogs to large dogs and cats, I care for every pet with sincerity and love, striving to give both owners and pets peace of mind. I take the responsibility of caring for your precious family member to heart.

🐾 Frequently asked questions about pet sitters
1. How does the sitter get into my home when I’m away?
During a pre-visit consultation, the sitter will come to your home early to meet your pet, check the layout of feeding bowls, toilet area, and cleaning supplies, and get to know your pet’s personality. During this visit, you can discuss key handoff arrangements. Typically, owners hand over keys through their building’s concierge.
2. How are pet sitters screened? Is it safe to trust a stranger?
Fluv’s pet sitters are animal lovers with pet care or volunteer experience who undergo identity verification and training before being registered. Owners can check sitter ratings and comments through Fluv’s review system, making it easy to choose a sitter you can trust.
3. My pet is very shy around strangers — is it okay to use a pet sitter?
If your pet is shy and takes time to warm up, the pre-visit consultation allows your pet and the sitter to meet beforehand and build trust. If you still have concerns, you and the sitter can discuss together whether pet sitting is the right option this time.
If your pet is aggressive, a pet sitter service may not be suitable — not only to protect the sitter, but also to prevent accidents caused by your pet becoming overly stressed.
4. My pet needs medication or wound care — can a pet sitter help with that?
If your pet has special needs, you can book a sitter with medical care skills. When making a reservation, you can communicate with the sitter in advance to share all the details about the required medical care.
