In Memory of Lucy 🕊️
Pet care experience
My earliest childhood memories include a safari of different animals, there has almost never been a time in my life where I did not have a pet of some kind. This amazing privilege has allowed me to experience a variety of things and learn valuable skills that helped me go on to raise and train my dog Lucy, who sadly passed just shy of her 11th birthday (far too soon). I have worked many different breeds & species over the years such as guinea pigs, mice, rabbits, dogs (Chihuahuas to Great Danes), cats (English Shorthairs to Mainecoons), equines (13-17 hands), ant colonies, chickens, Giant African Land Snails, and more! My only real limit is spiders and scorpions, bit too creepy crawly for me haha! I have volunteered with rescue dogs and have experience in managing dogs who may have additional behavioural needs (e.g. strong pull on the lead, dog reactive, etc) or who are in the process of being trained and need a clear structure to help keep them on target toward their training goals.
Reviews
The most professional cat sitter we ever had! She followed our instructions, was very friendly with our little boy and went above and beyond! We really enjoyed our time away without stressing about home or if the cat was okay in our absence. Thank you for your passion. 💕💐
Excellent communication and gentle care, as always.
Thank you for such a great job you did with Bandit. Your updates were detailed and informative as well as honest, which is so appreciated. You were patient and caring and allowed my somewhat nervous dog the time and space he needed to trust you. Fab service!
Fantastic service from McKenzie, she was absolutely brilliant, left no stone unturned, fed, walked, played with the dogs who loved her! Will use again!

As I have worked with a variety of pets, I understand the importance of routine within their lives and will always follow your instructions. This includes feeding routine/diet, crate vs. no crate dogs, grooming routines, etc. Keeping this routine the same as they have normally will mean a happier and more relaxed pet while you are away as it will be familiar and comforting to them.
Information McKenzie R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any specific needs, or behaviour factors that I should be aware of (for example if your dog doesn't like walking near other animals, or your cat doesn't like to be touched on their neck) - any information that will help keep your pet and I safe and happy. I am willing to consider animals with special needs/disabilities provided clear instructions are given to enable me to support them properly. I've worked with dogs who have seizures, deaf animals, wobbly walkers, and more.
A typical day
Whether your cat likes to chase a toy mouse or your dog likes to listen to audiobooks in the backyard, my care will be tailored to their needs. I am more than happy to take them on long walks, groom them to keep their coat pristine, or simply give them all the belly rubs and ear scratches they want.

Weekends are my specialty! Perfect for events, weekend trips away, or even just a late night out with friends. I can also offer evening drop-in visits during the week. This works well if you are going out for date night, attending a party, etc.
