I work freelance, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for drop in visits and dog walks throughout the day. Whether your pets need an early morning visits, midday playtime or evening care, I m usually able to accommodate different schedules. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while staying in their own home and routine. I carefully follow feeding instructions, walks schedules, medication needs, and any special care requests from the owner. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, attention, playtime and lots of patience. I would also respect my clients home by keeping things clean and organized. I double check doors and locked before leaving. Always sending updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they are away.

“Mark and Lorena were absolutely fantastic with our dogs Maui and Rio. They constantly updated us with pictures and videos while we were on holiday and I completely trust them with our pups. I am a repeat client and will definitely use them again the next time we go away. Maui and Rio always have a great time with them and they are always very well taken care of.”

About: I have been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I have had a family dog for twelve years. Several of my friends and families have dogs and cats. I have pet sitted several times. I have worked in the cat adoption centre in Petsmart. I truly enjoy the presence of dogs and cats. To me they’re more just just animals. They are a family member, a friend, a neighbour, or a teacher. I recently graduated from my MSc and I work part time in my lab from Wednesday to Friday. That’s means my schedule is free from Saturday to Tuesday. My goal when caring for pets in a clients home is for my stay to be as seamless as possible. I other words I work towards there being no discrepancy between a normal day in a pets life and when I visit. This means treating the dog or cat with care and respect, following a set schedule if preferred, and any extra care (play time, grooming, medication, training, etc).

“Leala came to house sit during the day and took good care of Koda. She is responsible, reliable and sent many updates. We felt comfortable having Leala in our home and Koda had a great time. Would recommend!”

“We had our first visit with Kattie during a meet and greet. I knew right away that she was a good fit for Sully. It was very comforting with Kattie asking questions about routines, habits etc. She was very professional and polite. We will do it again soon!”

I may also have availability during the day on a few week days. Pet care in own home includes; providing sufficient water and food throughout the day, taking outside for bodily functions either on property or a walk. Picking up after when outside/on a walk and properly disposing of it. Making sure pet has collar and leash on when needed. Providing treats every so often. Cleaning off dog when needed from being outside in the elements I.E. rain/mud. Making sure to keep away from other dogs that are not known to each other. Same as above for clients home and outside of the home as well as providing updates and photos of their dog/pet. Also administering medication when required.

About: For me, pets are not just another being living at home but a part of family. Hence, I patiently learn, understand their character and needs so that I can provide the required care accordingly.

“Bronte was patient with our high anxiety dog and took the time to get to know her prior to sitting. She is very calm and gentle. She let us know our dog was fine and sent an update. I would recommend her!”

“Angela was great right from the start. Even though she wasn't feeling well when I first messaged her, she replied promptly and we set up a time to meet. During our meet and greet, she told me quite a bit about herself and her deep love for cats was immediately apparent. We have three cats with quite different personalities. One of them hid when she visited, but that's the norm for that skittish kitty. The one who is most friendly got lots of attention from Angela, from play to cuddles to brushing. He was pretty blissed out when we got home after four days away. Angela cleaned out the litter trays without us asking her to do so and the whole litter area was cleaner than when we left! She also stayed longer than expected, as she wanted to ensure she saw all three cats during her visit. Overall, everything went well and my mind was at ease knowing Angela was being attentive and loving to our kitties. I will definitely call her again when we need a sitter.”
