What you want, what they need

Pet care experience

We are a young, healthy couple who love animals. We each have 20+ years of experience of caring for various animals. We're both social workers who currently work from home. Our flexible 9:00 to 5:00 positions allow us to provide plenty of attention to your pets. We rarely if ever need to leave your loved ones home alone. Colin spent about a year working for a doggie day care on the coast, where he managed and entertained a pack of 15+ dogs of varying breed and size. He transported, cleaned and played with dogs full time... and misses it very much. Alice has always had pets and lived with animals. We are experienced and comfortable administering most types of medication (oral, topical, subcutaneous). Colin has experience ambulating elderly animals and caring for animals after operations. Prices are negotiable. They depend on the needs of the animal(s) and desires of the owner. Local references available.

10/10 would have Colin and Alice over again. They were responsible, provided updates, trouble shooter, and gave our pups love and attention.

Scout was a very happy kitty with the help of Colin over the Christmas holiday! Thank you, Colin, for caring for our kitty and keeping the house perfect while we were away!
