Babies to seniors, custom care!
Pet care experience
Hello! I’ve loved animals my whole life and have had pets since I can remember: from caring for fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats and dogs, to caring for abandoned baby raccoons and birds. I specialize in puppy and kitten care as well as senior pet care, but all ages and species are welcome! I also practise eco friendly and low waste living and reflect that practise in my animal care. Background and Experience I was a lucky dog mom to a Jack Russel/Parson Russel mix for 11 years. Even in her golden years as she developed cataracts, she was full of energy and still liked to play tricks and be sneaky, as Jacks and Parson do. She also suffered from anxiety from a puppyhood trauma. Because of that, she taught me to be alert and aware of dog behaviours, good and bad, and intervene as needed. Towards the end of her life, she required a lot of extra care and attention to ensure a peaceful and quality end of life. I have experience in caring for many dog breeds and ages, from a 10 week old golden doodle to an adult Great Dane. I have taken care of senior dogs and dogs with visual impairments. I also have 2 years of cat sitting experience with kittens, adults and seniors as well as various experience in caring for fish, snakes, guinea pigs, hamsters and rabbits. Values I believe that building trust is key in any animal relationship. Each individual animal is special and has a unique personality so custom care is necessary to build a relationship in which the animal trusts their handler. I believe this will ensure your fur (or scale) baby is as happy and as stress free as possible while you’re away. Sustainability I want to ensure I run my business in an environmentally mindful way. As such, I only promote my business online and with sustainably sources flyers and business cards. I also ensure your pets care reflects this through safe low waste pet toys and treats when possible (but i won’t sacrifice your pets safety and comfort to achieve this!). *to anyone looking for boarding, please be aware that I have a pet rabbit*

Information Kat R. would like to know about your pet
How are they with other dogs? What is their temperament like? Do they have separation anxiety? How are they with children and strangers? How are they with caged and uncaged rabbits (because I have one at home)? Do they have any health needs or disabilities? Do they have food restrictions? What are their favourite activities, toys and foods? Do they need extra walks or potty time? Do they bark a lot? Emergency contact information.
A typical day
We will go on plenty of walks if the dog is willing and able. I have a ravine near my house as well as several parks and a dog park nearby. I also have a fenced backyard large enough to play fetch and run around in. I also have a variety of toys both for interactive play and playing alone. Your pup will also be welcomed to enjoying as many cuddles, belly rubs and naps as they desires. Essentially, the activities will be tailored to your dog’s preferences, activity and mobility level, and temperament.
