My name is Charlotte and I'm a 29 year old, very honest and reliable pet lover, with about 12 years experience owning and taking care of dogs and cats in particular, but also has the expertise in looking after both rabbits and hamsters as well. When I say I'm a "professional pet sitter", what I mean is that I've been on a few different pet sitting websites, mostly Rover, because it's my favorite. Taking care of other people's pets for about 3 years now. Meeting new clients online and then having a few regular clients afterwards who trust me enough to come take care of their pets everytime they need someone to look after them. The rest of my experience comes from owning pets while growing up and looking after my friends pets whenever they need someone to. I love meeting new animals, it's super exciting all the different dogs and cats I get to meet and take care of, and I love coming back to look after them again. To be more specific, me and my 3 younger sisters grew up with 2 dogs, a cat, a guinea pig, a bunch of hamsters and a rabbit named Thumper who was a cageless free roaming rabbit. Thumper was also our first pet which was exciting when your a child, we had him for many happy years. After moving out, I had 2 more cats on 2 separate occasions, the first cat who I named Leo, was a Christmas gift and the second one I named Casper who I adopted off of Kijiji during Covid-19. Since I was home all the time during covid he became very attached to me, following me everywhere. Currently I'm living in a house on the Southside of Edmonton with my sister, her boyfriend, a roommate who is basically a family friend, our dog and my cat. Dogs an cats are mainly the animals I take care of and go for walks while the owners are out of town or working. My services include drop-in visits once or twice a day for about 30-60 minutes long. Letting your dog outside to use the washroom or taking them on a walk. Or I'll come check-in on your cat, clean the litter box, change out the water and feed them. Also giving them some one on one interaction time with cuddles and play time. My other service is walking dogs for 30-60 minutes up to 3 or 4 times per day, depending on what their owner wants and the weather, and breed of dog. I have experience walking stronger dogs, old dogs, and puppies as well. Last but not least, the service I'm most experienced with is overnight pet sitting both dogs and cats. Basically taking care of them 24/7 when the owner needs to be somewhere else for a few days up to a few weeks at a time. I find that when your dog or cat doesn't have to go anywhere, they are less stressed out when you leave. Your pet doesn't feel as out of place because they are still in the same environment. I just basically need to know their normal everyday routine so I can keep it going and keep them comfortbale, letting me know all the little details. For example, the time they go to bed, the time they wake up, when they get fed and how much, where you store their food, toys and poop bags, what kind of activities you do throughout the day, how many walks you take your dog on etc. My goal is to make sure you and your pet feels as safe as possible, with updates throughout the day, sending you pictures and videos of your fur baby. Asking you any questions if I'm unsure about something, always staying in contact with you. I'm available 24/7, this is currently my only job right now while I get my schooling all figured out. So I have lots of spare time to look after your fur babies. I'm here for all of your pets needs and wants, caring for them as if they are my own. I can't use my place right now for boarding since I have a few pets already and I'm also sharing a place with other people. But I can definitely come over to your place any day any time to take care of your pet for however long you need me to stay. My references are great, I'm not perfect by any means but I do learn from my mistakes. I'm very trustworthy in other people's homes, cleaning up after myself, going above and beyond your expectations.
