Med student and animal lover!
Pet care experience
I started looking after pets of friends and family as a kid as I've always loved animals and didn't have them around the house often. During university, I was a live-in dog sitter for my landlords and now that I'm in Calgary for medical school, I have found it to be a great way to help with my loans and get some animal therapy. I've looked afters cats, dogs, snakes, hamsters, birds, fish. Of note, I am comfortable with more than one animal at a time (frequently up to 4 cats in one house at a time, 2 of which needed medications every 4-12 hours). I have also cared for cats on multiple occasions that required insulin injections and am comfortable with those, as well as oral medications, should that be a concern. I'm not unfamiliar with cats who tend to be moody and am comfortable learning their boundaries. However, I have been named "cat whisperer" my neighbours and family for my propensity for socially shy animals to cuddle and play with me!
Reviews
Gordo is ALWAYS so excited to see her, it makes me happy and feel at ease to see. We will be having her for as long as she does pet sitting. Gordo always has fun with her and is a happy boy.
Gordo loves hanging out with Kailey :)
Kailey was great! Our pups threw a few curve balls but she rolled with it.
Kailie, really appreciated how you cared for our Harley. You were so caring and had so much patience while she got to know you. We look forward to having you pet sit again soon.

Safety, trust & environment
I am comfortable providing medications and basic pet first aid to animals who require that on an ongoing basis. When I stay in folks homes, I try to make the place seem as if I was never there. I strive to meet the animal with where they are at in terms of how much play time and cuddles they want and happy if they are an independent animal who needs time alone.
Information Kailey N. would like to know about your pet
If your pet is hesitant with new people, I like to meet them briefly before coming to stay so we can have an initial meeting before spending more time together. This is especially true if they need injections as I don't want them to run/hide and make it a more stressful experience for them.
A typical day
I'm easy going and happy to fit into the routine that your pet has, whether it be long walks through the neighbourhood, learning commands and learning, playing, or all of the above.

Availability
As a medical student, my schedule changes weekly. I have some weeks were I barely go into school and some times that I'm barely home. Pet sitting is great as I can find the pets that work for me, depending on my schedule and what the pet needs!
