Highlights
Pet care experience
animal lover extraordinaire!
I started my first animal care business at the tender age of 6, and have been caring for my own and others' animals ever since. I have experience with special needs and anxious pets, reptiles, rabbits, birds, even wild animals, as well as canines and felines. At home I just have Panda (my cat) and sometimes Thistle (my dog I co-parent). In the past have struck a cozy balance with the needs and desires of up to four animals (3 cats and a dog), and have met with success when introducing others into the mix. Panda and I are extensive travelers and have befriended many a furred friend on our adventures. I have also been walking dogs since I was a child and am very focused on making sure they have a thorough and enjoyable experience. I'm comfortable with dogs of any size, and can even probably walk your cat! (I take mine out regularly) In people's homes, I am very respectful of space and privacy and work to make my presence undetectable, except for the animal to whom I'm providing company to of course! I'm very good at following care instructions and am not afraid of light grooming, administering medications, etc. I spent some time volunteering with the SPCA doing feline socialization as well. I have dealt with special need purebreds, high anxiety rescues, and most things in between. I just really like animals! I want to make sure they're happy, healthy, and well cared for.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Adrian was great!! Maggie loved her. Adrian was prompt and reliable. She was also great at communicating.
Adrian was amazing and did so well with our dog. We appreciate them so much for being so attentive to her and making her comfortable! Would highly recommend them
Great experience! They took wonderful care of my dog over 5 days, keeping me updated and making sure everything went smoothly. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!
Excellent walker. Timely and patient. Would definitely book again.
Was able to take my pet longer than expected due to an emergency, was incredibly with my dog
Adrian was quick and responsive to communications, and very flexible with the schedule. When our plans were changing (while out of town), Adrian was accommodating and agreeable to adding another night's stay which really reduced our stress! We felt confident that Sully was going to be well looked after. I loved receiving updates throughout his stay! On pick-up, Sully was well taken care of and happy. We will definitely ask Adrian to watch him again in the future :)

Schedule
I am a student finishing up my degree, a part time worker, and avid volunteer, so my schedule is all over the place, but luckily it's mostly under my control, so I can arrange it around a pet's needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is set up to cater to the needs and comfort of my senior cat. I do have a large amount of houseplants, not all of which are pet- friendly, but these are largely out of reach and can be moved to a closed off room if necessary. I have several ways to separate animals if need be, am comfortable with crating, and generally being aware of potential hazards. At a client's house I am able to follow clear instructions and make sure proper protocols are followed (separate feeding, enclosures, making sure doors are open/ closed etc)
Pets
A typical day
I live near several dog-friendly green spaces and am a short drive from a sizeable dog park. I like to spend active quality time with the animals in my care, whether it's lounging on the couch, playing with appropriate toys, or going for a hike.
