Highlights
Pet care experience
Walks, Trails, Cuddles & Care 🐾
Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up around a wide variety of animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, turtles, frogs, and other small pets. Being around animals for much of my life has taught me from a young age how important consistency, patience, responsibility, and paying attention to even small changes in an animal’s behaviour can be. I’ve also always been around dogs and cats and am comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks and outdoor adventures, playtime and enrichment, or would rather curl up for some extra cuddles and attention, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. With my experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, I understand that every pet is different. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a pet-friendly condo where I’ve had friends’ pets stay with me before and always love having some extra paws around! my condo has a balcony and no pet size restrictions, and I'm close to lots of walking trails, green spaces, and dog parks for pets who love getting outside and exploring. Safety and comfort are always my priority. Pets are supervised when using the balcony, and I’m happy to adapt my home to their individual needs and comfort level. I’ll follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, sleeping, and household routines as closely as possible so they can feel settled and at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally respectful of their space and established routine. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and cuddles, while keeping you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for!

Schedule
I currently have a very flexible and open schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care, and I’m also able to travel to you. Because my schedule is so flexible, I can easily work around your pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I love being able to spend quality time with animals, so your pet won’t just be another stop in my day, they’ll get lots of one-on-one care and companionship while you’re away!

- I’d love to know as much as possible about your pet so I can make their time with me comfortable, safe, and fun! Please let me know about their normal routine, personality, favourite activities, feeding schedule, medications or health needs, and any little quirks that make them who they are. For dogs, it’s especially helpful to know how they are on walks, whether they’re comfortable around other dogs, people, and children, their recall and leash habits, and whether they have any triggers, fears, reactivity, or separation anxiety I should be aware of. I’d also love to know their favourite treats, toys, sleeping spots, commands, and anything else that helps them feel at home. The more I know about your pet, the better I can tailor their care to them!
