My approach
☻
Personalized
Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I always tailor my services to each pet’s unique personality and routine.
❋
Patient
I have a genuine love for animals and will ensure that your furry friends receive the care, attention, and companionship they deserve while you’re away.
✦
Professional
I am an excellent communicator with a proven track record of providing peace of mind for pet owners, offering regular updates, photos, and personalized care plans to keep you connected.
✿
Playful
Playtime plays a vital role in enriching a pet’s life. From dogs and cats to hamsters and birds, I’m here to ensure your pets stay happy, healthy, and safe while receiving one-on-one playful attention.

"Uma is an absolute angel! She was so great with our high energy kitty and sent photos everyday which gave us such peace of mind while we were out of town for a week. I highly recommend Uma if you need a responsible, fun, and responsive pet sitter."

Uma is wonderful! She’s communicative and was attentive to our cat, sending us lots of photos and updates every visit. We hope to use her again next time we’re away!

"I call Uma the cat whisperer. She was able to make my normally spooked cat very comfortable with pets and playtime. Thank you Uma!"

Uma was fantastic house sitting for our 2 cats. Very considerate, and she made sure to keep us updated with daily pictures. Both our cats took to her right away and eased any anxiety that we had about traveling away from the fur babies. You can book with confidence.
