It all started with two senior cats 10 years ago who both lived up to 19yros under my care. In their final years, I provided them the calmness and comfort they wanted, and I have been doing so since then. At parties or gatherings, I prefer to go to the animals as I always have a better connection with them. My philosophy of interacting and taking care of cats and dogs, is always, to let them be comfortable and happy as they want, and respect their choices. I see them as families and friends, and try to understand their behaviour and needs from their perspective. With 3 dogs and 4 cats at home, I use positive reinforcement, redirecting, and a lot of decompressing method during stressful situations. There is no bad dog or cat to me. I educate myself about animal behaviour constantly, as they deserve the best care and life, and it’s up to us to provide it to them. I like going on walks with my dogs, chasing and playing with them in my fenced yard, doing scent games and hide and seek games at home, and home agility sports. I like throwing springs and playing strings with my cats and always love a good cuddle. Even if there is no toy, I can always think of creative things to have fun with dogs and cats. If they like to chill, that’s okay too. I am well aware of the daily routine and life cycle of cats and dogs. I am a calm, mature, and responsible woman. When I walk dogs, my focus is solely on the them. I am aware of the environment, and avoid stressful and over-stimulated situations in advance, and allow them to sniff. My fee is set so that your dog/cat will 100% receive - full attention (I am not working another job while taking care of your pet) - high quality interaction (play, petting, massage, walk, comfort, respect, etc) - freeze dried meaty treats (unless it is provided) - text and photo updates (sometimes videos too -unless you do not want to be bothered while you are away) - Perfection in following the instruction you provide I have high standard in myself while providing care. You can trust me in being with your pets and I guarantee comfort, interaction, love to your furry families. I have 7 animals and it is a big crew :) They all listen to me very well. My dogs are very playful and social. They are very familiar to have friends in the backyard to play with. After play, they like downtime to unwind within their own space to enjoy the peace and quiet day. My cats are used to people and animals coming in and out. They are friendly, curious, and have places for themselves if they don’t want attention. I don’t drive, but I bike around and love walking! When my husband is available, I always get a ride. I can walk maximum 3 dogs at a time, as long as 1 or 2 behave well on leash. My dogs are heavy (80+74+45 lb) and I can control them if situation gets rough. I can also walk very fast if needed. For House Sitting/Overnight sitting: The rate listed on ROVER is overnight stay, from evening to the next morning. If you need extended stay beyond the overnight, we can certainly discuss the options.
