House Sitting in Yorkton

“Our dog loves being with Shelby. Whether it’s on a walk, or house sitting or even overnights we know he’s well taken care of.”

About: Looking for someone to spoil your fur babies? You’ve found her! Growing up on a farm, I learned early on that pets are family, and they deserve all the love, attention, and treats they can handle. Now, as a work-from-home graphic designer, I’ve created a cozy, child-free home where your pets are my top priority and get the royal treatment they deserve! Your furry friend will be welcomed by my two companions: Timbit, my happy-go-lucky dog who thinks everyone is his best friend, and Ella, my sweet, quiet kitty who may stop by to say hello. I’m extra attuned to each pet’s needs—Timbit has special needs himself—so I know how important it is to give personalized care and a little extra pampering. When your pet stays with me, they’re in for endless snuggles, playtime, and all the comforts of home. Furniture privileges? Absolutely. Cuddles on demand? Guaranteed. And yes, I’ll treat them like they’re my own family. 🐾❤️ If you’re looking for a sitter who genuinely loves to spoil fur babies, let’s chat! I can’t wait to meet your furry family and make them feel right at home. 🐶🐱 Pet care is seamlessly woven into my daily and weekly routine, reflecting my deep commitment to the well-being of animals. Here’s how it typically unfolds: Morning: Each day starts with a warm greeting for my pets, Ella and Timbit. Their morning routines involve feeding, refreshing their water, and some playtime to get their energy flowing. Timbit’s needs require extra attention, so I monitor him closely to ensure he’s feeling well, this includes puppy massages of course. Daytime: As a work-from-home graphic designer, I can easily integrate pet care throughout my day. During breaks, I take time to cuddle with Ella and engage Timbit in playful activities. Whether it’s a quick game of fetch or a gentle stroll around the yard, I make sure they get ample love and exercise. Evening: Evenings are dedicated to winding down together. After work, I prioritize quality time with my pets—whether it’s grooming, cuddling on the couch, or enjoying a relaxing evening of watching TV together. Timbit gets extra attention to ensure his comfort, especially as he settles in for the night. Weekly: Every week, I plan dedicated play sessions and outings. These can include longer walks, trips to a local pet-friendly park, or simply engaging in new activities to keep them stimulated. I also set aside time for any grooming needs, ensuring they stay healthy and happy. Overall, pet care is not just a responsibility for me; it’s a fulfilling part of my life that enriches my daily routine. My pets are a source of joy, and I’m committed to making their lives as happy and fulfilling as possible! Caring for pets in my home and my clients' homes revolves around a strong emphasis on safety, trust, and creating a nurturing environment. Here’s how I approach it: Safety Home Assessment: I conduct a thorough walkthrough of my home or my client's home to identify any potential hazards. This includes securing toxic plants, cleaning supplies, and any small objects that could pose a choking risk. Safe Spaces: I create designated safe spaces for pets, ensuring they have a comfortable area to relax without feeling overwhelmed. This might include cozy spots on the couch, pet beds, or quiet corners where they can retreat. Chemical Free Home: Chemicals are not used to clean in this home, only healthy eco friendly and natural options when possible. Emergency Preparedness: I always have a plan in place for emergencies, including knowing the location of the nearest veterinary clinic and having contact information readily available. Trust Building Relationships: I prioritize building trust with pets by taking the time to understand their unique personalities and needs. This means engaging with them through play and positive reinforcement to create a bond before any services begin. Open Communication: I maintain clear and open communication with pet owners, updating them regularly about their pets' behavior, health, and well-being during my time with them. I encourage clients to share any specific instructions or preferences to ensure their pet feels at ease. Environment Clean and Comfortable: I maintain a clean and tidy environment for pets, ensuring that their living space is comfortable and inviting. I keep up with regular cleaning and provide cozy bedding and toys to make them feel at home. Activity and Engagement: I incorporate plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation into their day, whether through structured play, training sessions, or interactive toys. I aim to create an enriching environment that fosters both physical health and emotional well-being. Personalized Care: I adapt my care approach to fit each pet's routine and preferences. Whether it’s allowing them on the furniture for snuggles or providing a specific diet or exercise regimen, I make sure their environment is tailored to their needs. By focusing on these aspects, I ensure that pets in my care receive the highest level of attention, safety, and affection, whether they are in my home or their own.
