I have been an animal lover and caretaker of pets my whole life. My first pet was a rabbit named Hoppy who passed in 2019 after 14 years of veggie-munching and binkies. I also grew up taking care of my dog, a personality-filled Shiba Inu named Riki who passed recently after 15 years together. Over the years, I have also cat-sat and dog-sat numerous times, ensuring that these furry friends are given the love, attention, and specific care they need while their owners are away. I adore spending time with animals, and I am flexible with their needs. As someone who has plenty of experience with senior pets—including my own needy senior dog before his passing—I have administered medication on rigid schedules, handled high anxiety with patience and care, and understand some of the unique personality and behavioural traits that come along with the territory. I am also willing and capable of keeping up with high-energy pets who require lots of attention and time outside. Long walks are always welcomed! Now that my Riki has passed, I find my days sorely lacking moments with furry friends. I would love to spend time with your precious pet, and care for them like they are my own.
