🐾 High-Quality & Personalized Care

Pet care experience

Hey there! I'm dedicated to making your life easier when it comes to taking care of your companions. With my reliable and convenient drop-in and walking services, you can trust that your pets will be well looked after, even on your busiest days. Leave the hassle to me and give yourself peace of mind, knowing that your adorable pets are in expert hands. As a fully insured pet care provider, I prioritize the safety and well-being of your pets with added protection for any unforeseen circumstances. Book with me today and experience the convenience of top-notch pet care! New to Rover? Ask me about my discount code exclusive to new users! Drop-In Visits/Dog Walking: Both dog walks and drop-ins are interchangeable services that include essential tasks such as potty breaks, feeding, and medication administration if needed. Additionally, both services provide exercise and attention for your beloved companions. When scheduling a dog walk, I'll make sure to have your dog exploring on leash as much as possible, taking into consideration the weather conditions and your dog's energy level. If it's too hot or there's severe weather, I'll focus more on mental stimulation indoors. On the other hand, when scheduling a drop-in, your dog's activities will take place solely on your property, indoors or outdoors as requested. House Sitting: My availability for house sitting typically spans select weekends from Friday evening through Monday morning. My standard service package is designed with your peace of mind as a priority, offering overnight stays from 10pm to 8am, accompanied by two hour long visits, occurring at approximately 5-6pm the evening before and 12-1pm the following day. Should your beloved pet require additional visits or walks, I'm happy to accommodate these services for an additional fee reflecting their usual rates. My story: From a young age, my love and care for animals have shaped my life's path. It all began with Ermo, my grumpy cockatiel, who introduced me to the amazing world of animal care when I was just 8 years old. Since then, I've had the privilege of handling a wide variety of house pets, from rodents and mammals to reptiles and birds of all sizes and personalities. Whether they're furry, scaly, or feathery, I have the experience to care for them all! Over the past three years, I've worked in various doggie daycares, including directing an enrichment program for pups. These experiences have allowed me to deepen my understanding of animal behavior and husbandry, with a particular focus on dogs. I've dedicated countless hours to research, ensuring that I stay up-to-date with the best practices in pet care. Now, I'm excited to embark on my own pet care adventure. My life has always revolved around the idea of caring for animals and ensuring they receive the best possible care. When you entrust your precious pets to me, I'll treat them as if they were a part of my own family, providing them with the love, attention, and expertise they deserve.

A typical day

At the heart of my pet sitting service is the commitment to providing a fulfilling and engaging experience for your beloved pup within our half-hour sessions. Each session will be carefully crafted to cater to their unique preferences and needs. We'll begin with a cozy cuddle session on the couch, showering them with affection and ensuring they feel loved and secure. Next, we'll engage in a dynamic activity that aligns with their interests, whether it's an invigorating game of ball chase or a stimulating puzzle toy session. If their preference is more to be adventurous, we'll embark on a pleasant half-hour sniff walk, allowing them to explore their surroundings and experience the joy of new scents. Throughout our time together, I'll prioritize their well-being, happiness, and enrichment, making sure each session leaves them content and fulfilled. Rest assured that even within our half-hour sessions, your pup will receive the utmost care, attention, and tailored activities to make their time with me truly enjoyable.

I am fully committed to this role as a pet care provider, making it my full-time endeavour! As of right now while I’m in the beginning stages of building my pet care business, I only have a handful of regular clients; this means I have plenty of space for clients who need services on a weekly basis. I’d love to become a vital part of your precious companions’ routine! I also usually have availability to stop by for last minute/emergency requests, though please understand I cannot guarantee that I will always be able to accommodate. I prefer to complete a Meet-and-Greet before following through with any services, however I do understand this is not always possible with time restraints and busy lives. In the case and M&G cannot be accomplished, we will simply need to go over your pets’ care over private message.
