Sentiments For Pets Mod By Zero’s Sims 4 Mods

Unfortunately, pets were not included in the recent update for sentiments.

But this mod fixes that by adding sentiments to the relationship between pets and Sims, and vice versa.

Pet Careers

Running a vet clinic in Cats & Dogs is great, but what if your Sim could have a career dedicated entirely to pets?

With this Sims Career Mod, inspired by The Sims 2 Pets career, your Sim can now pursue a profession centered around their love for animals!

Pet Sitter Career

With this mod, your Sims can finally have a career as a pet sitter.

One thing I love about this career is that, since it’s part-time, teen Sims can also pursue it, with hours that fit around school.

Also, if you have a retired Sim looking for something to keep them busy, this career is perfect for them too!

Pet Groomer Career

Another fantastic career mod for pet lovers is the Pet Groomer Career.

This career allows your Sims to work as a professional groomer for pets, earning Simoleons while doing something they love.

Your sims will begin their careers as receptionists and progress through 7 levels to become Professional Pet Groomers.

Sims bestowed with the “Animal Charmer” trait become connoisseurs in the art of enchanting animals.

In addition to this, the mod also introduces distinct charmer traits tailored for cats and dogs.

These unique traits, when given to your pet Sims, make them inherently joyful, less prone to illness, and more amiable.

Pet Assignments & Pet Jobs

Inspired by The Sims 3, ShuSanR’s Pet Jobs Mod lets your furry friends in The Sims 4 take on jobs and contribute to the household income, just like odd jobs, but for pets!

What’s Included?

More than just 3 pet jobs – Plenty of work opportunities tailored for pets.

Healthy Care Feature – Send pets away for 60 minutes if they’re sick, dirty, hungry, or lonely, and they’ll return feeling better.

Pet Training Center (Dogs Only) – Enroll dogs in a 60-minute training session. It takes 5–10 sessions for them to master all commands.

Give your pets a purpose—and a paycheck! 

Active Doggy Daycare

If you’ve ever imagined managing a bustling doggy daycare in The Sims 4, then ItsKatato’s “Active Doggy Daycare” mod is the perfect addition to your gameplay.

This mod works similarly to buying and running a vet clinic. Your sims will have to purchase a doggy daycare clinic, and then they can hire staff to help run it.

They’ll get paid for caring and looking after dogs all day. How cool is that?

Foster Pets Mod

With this mod, your Sims can not only become foster parents but also foster pets.

Off Grid Washtub For Pets

“Allergic to Fur.” Sims with this trait will experience a buff of discomfort when they are in proximity to animals.

Another trait is “Hates Animals/Cats/Dogs,” acknowledging that not everyone in life is a dog or cat enthusiast.

Lastly, there is “Afraid of Animals/Dogs/Cats” because, honestly, some people simply prefer not to be around animals and they have their reasons.

If you’ve ever felt that the frog collecting feature lacked depth, this mod remedies that by allowing your Sims to take on a more caretaker role.

No longer just collectibles, frogs in your Sim’s inventory can now be fed. Giving your sims a 4 hour happy buff and bit of a Responsibility boost.
For children to be able to feed frogs though echo lifestyle is required.
