Pet care experience
Are you seeking trustworthy and loving care for your furry friends? Look no further! With over 15 years of experience and a heart full of love for animals, I'm here to cater to your pets' every need. As a proud cat parent myself, with two beautiful feline companions, I understand the bond between pets and their owners. Whether it's a leisurely stroll around the block or a fun-filled playtime session, count on me to keep your canine companion happy and active. From small pups to larger breeds, from energetic youngsters to wise seniors, I've got the skills and experience to ensure their safety and enjoyment. And for our feline friends, whether they're playful kittens or dignified seniors, rest assured they'll receive the same level of care and attention. From feeding and litter box maintenance to cuddles and playtime, I'll make sure your cats feel right at home while you're away. With a background in volunteering at the SPCA and PetSmart, I understand the importance of compassion and patience when it comes to caring for animals. You can trust me to be punctual, responsible, and reliable, treating your pets as if they were my own. Reach out today with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. Together, let's ensure your fur baby gets the love and attention they deserve! Je suis bilingue :)

Safety, trust & environment
Before embarking on a walk, I always ensure that dogs are securely leashed and, if necessary, fitted with a harness for added safety and comfort. Throughout our time together, I maintain vigilant supervision over dogs to prevent any potential accidents or incidents. Whether we're out for a stroll or enjoying playtime, I'm always attentive to their needs and surroundings. W hen entering or leaving a home, I am particularly cautious to prevent any escape attempts by pets, especially for those known to be escape artists. I double-check doors and gates to ensure they are securely closed before proceeding. For shy or timid cats, I approach them with patience and gentleness, allowing them to feel comfortable and safe in their own time. I never rush interactions and respect their boundaries, letting them dictate the pace of our relationship.

A typical day
I live near the river, there’s so many walking trails for your dog to explore. I like to simulate your dog or cat by playing games with their favourite toys.
