Hello! Thank you for checking out my page, it's great to have you here! I initially joined Rover in the spring of 2019 as a way to get an animal fix before I was in a place to have my own pet. It was both a blessing and a curse as I loved seeing everyone’s fur babies, but it made me want my own even more! In April of 2020 I accidentally came across Stella on the Central Alberta Humane Society website and knew right then that she was meant to be mine. I took some time away from dog sitting in order to create a solid bond with her and allow her to become used to her new life, but I'm back and ready to share my love with your fur babies! Apart from having my wonderful Alaskan Husky for the past year, I also grew up with a few pets. My family had dog two Australian Shepard/Boarder Colie/Blue Healer crosses until I was in middle school. After they passed, I adopted a lop-eared rabbit and he lived happily for many long years. When I moved away for University, I wasn't in a place to have any animals of my own but spent lots of time around my friends’ pets, and yes, I was very often that person at the party hanging out with the dog! My last year living in Calgary I lived with the most wonderful cat and I was her primary caretaker while her owner was on vacation for around a month of that time. Although that has been my only experience living with cats, I have cared for many though Rover and come to quite love them. I had planned to adopt one of my own before I even considered a dog, but then found Stella and knew I couldn't live without her. I also work with an international company called "Trusted House Sitters" where I am able to watch peoples fur babies all around the world. This is why I have a 2+ year gap in my reviews with Rover, I have spent a lot of my time travelling and watching peoples pets anywhere I can! In order to make having other dogs in our home, or me being gone more often to check on your pet’s fair to my own dog, all money that I receive through Rover goes towards enriching Stella’s quality of life. This includes things like extra treats, toys, and food as well as helping to pay for things like gas and her gear so that I can take her out hiking even more often. During times where I have a surplus of bookings and a little extra cash I also try to donate part of my earnings from Rover to various animal shelters. If you choose to book with us, thank you in advance for helping to make Stella’s life and the lives of other animals all that much better :) Please note that the prices provided on my page are not set in stone and can be subject to change with notice up front to you. A couple examples of these changes may be - you are outside of my set service radius and with higher fuel costs I will need to charge a small amount more to cover this, you are within walking distance of me and I can lower the price a little since I will not be driving, you have asked me to walk 2+ animals but they need to be walked separately. There are more things that may occur but I assure you I will always be up front about any price changes that may occur. I know this was a long bio, I tend to write to much when I get behind a keyboard! If you made it this far, thank you again for visiting my page and I hope to see a message from you soon ! :)
