Personalized care for your dog or cat - Stettler

“Jennifer was absolutely great with my little guy. Constantly kept me updated and sent pictures. Was very nice to talk to and gave Crosby tons of attention. I highly recommend her if your looking for a sitter for your best friend.”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life, some were found outside, and some were adopted from the shelter. Almost all of them have had some kind of medical or behavioural special need (I’m a sucker for the “unadoptables”) whether it be feral kittens, diabetes, IBS, wounds, cancer, aggression, etc. I’m comfortable giving injections and medications, and with basic grooming and nail trims as well. I follow owner instructions precisely as with my own cats I understand how crucial it can be, and I’m keen on recognizing when something isn’t right with our furry friends.

About: I've had cats, big and smaller dogs, fish, hedgehogs and other small critters my whole life. All my animals are rescues or fosters with various backgrounds and needs, but all are loved and cared for completely. I have experience in pet emergency situations, wound care, post op care, disabilities and special needs, varying temperments, and all ages and breeds of pets. I completely respect and understand owners rules and wishes for their pets, as I would hope others would do for my own pets. For dog walking we can go fast or slow, avoid or visit other dogs along the way, and sniff as much as their heart desires. For home visits (dog, cat, other critters) we can snuggle, have playtime, feed, water, litter cleaned, and other activities to keep them entertained while their human is away. For an additional price I can include basic grooming (brushing and nails, so long as pet permits), and some light housekeeping (dishes, sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, etc) Short notice bookings work best with me right now as my schedule is a bit unpredictable because of practicum for my schooling. Spontaneous trip out of town? Late day at work? Family emergency? Those short notice situations I can give you a solid answer of my availability to help you plan your next steps easily. I always check for potential hazards around my own house and yard that could be dangerous to my pets, and that habit will transfer over to client properties. My own pets are on a strict feeding schedule and diets due to health reasons so I’m very respectful of that for others pets too. I work as a medic on remote industrial sites, large public events, and am in school for upgrading, and I’ve found that a lot of that training is fairly applicable to animals as well. Obviously there are some major differences but overall it’s been a great advantage for the care of my own animals. I also worked as a homecare health care aid for several years where I gained a greater appreciation for being in others homes and caring for family members and their pets too. It’s the little things that make a big difference.
