I'll probably end up spoiling them

Pet care experience

Please note: I strongly recommend a meet-n-greet prior to beginning care for your pet. I accept last-minute bookings for repeat clients, but not usually for new ones. I will be able to provide weekly bookings until about July 2024, when my schedule will change. It started out with the usual fish at a young age, then a couple of zebra finches years later. After a few years into adulthood, I adopted who I fondly referred to as "an old man cat," who passed away about a year later. During the old man cat year & after, I also looked after a few reptiles including beardies and chameleons. Fast forward to 2017 when I met my current fur-children, who seem to like me better than their adoptive dad (but we don't tell him that) :P None of that includes when I greeted pets at a dog grooming place during the summer and holiday breaks! Plus, I currently pet-sit for friends & their family upon request. Basically, much like my daytime career, I've worked with a wide variety of animals!

Jane was very attentive to my cat when I left for the beach for a week. She had the smart idea of leaving the TV on for her with a 6 hour timer for some noise which o really appreciated! She also sat with her while she was under the bed in addition to all the usual things. I highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I love to have specific instructions on anything and everything that I can help with, from the pup's usual walking route, to what lights to leave on at night, to where to dispose of a pet's poo. So if there aren't instructions or I can't reach you, I will do my best to do what seems reasonable to me, and let you know ASAP!

Information Jane S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your dog does or doesn't like - whether that's exercise preference, if they do or do not like other dogs, if they have anxiety (like one of mine) or other special needs. Absolutely let me know of any medications needed (I now DO have experience with injected medication), anything I should look out for (is your pet potentially sick?). How should I leave / secure your pet / house when leaving (should I turn on the TV? Crate them? Leave a light on?)?

A typical day

For dogs who love to play with toys, I will absolutely give them a run for their money on tug-o-war! Otherwise, walks are great! Or if dog parks are their thing, let's find a park!

Working my current hours puts me at not-quite-full-time hours. Since I kind of miss meeting and working with different pets, I thought petsitting / walking would be a great way to do that and get back into shape, while doing something fun! Sort of like how I get some exercise and my fill of time with children through friends' kids, without having to have children of my own!
