I am a cat and a dog person <3

Pet care experience

Hello there! I am a passionate animal lover looking to spend some quality time with your fur babies. Ever since I was young, I have always felt a very special connection with animals. I specialize in cats and small dogs, but I also have experience with bigger dogs, reptiles, and fish. I have many years of experience with my own cats, raising them since they were kittens. Having a special needs cat as well as caring for other special needs and elderly animals in my volunteer work has provided me with some extra experience and insight. During that work, I gained experience providing medication and monitoring behaviour. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified, which I believe could come to use. As a pet parent myself, I understand the worries and concerns that all pet parents have to go through when leaving our babies behind! This is why I wish to provide the best possible care I can while keeping in mind the individual needs of each pet. I provide house-sitting, cat boarding, walks, and visits. I love to spend time with all pets. And I would absolutely love to make friends with yours, and ensure a perfect time and care. :) ~Tess

Tess is a lifesaver - I had an emergency while I was away and Tess was able to stay longer to look after my kitty. She sends lots of updates and photos that put my mind at ease. Highly recommended as always!

We hired Tahsin for her house sitting services to take care of our elderly cat for a full week and we are so pleased with her service. She was attentive to details, she kept us updated daily with texts and pictures and she respected my cat's boundaries (she is anxious and scared easily). Tahsin administered medication as indicated and kept me in the loop of any changes I should be aware about my cat's behavior. Our cat was trying new medication just before we left so I was nervous to leave her but Tahsin instantly put my mind at ease the minute I met her. We came home to a content kitty and our home was exactly as we left it. We highly recommend Tahsin's services :)

I hired Tess for house sitting services - she was great! She sent me daily updates and pictures of my cat Sparky while I was away. She made sure to give him the extra attention he was seeking. It gave me peace of mind to know he was well taken care of 🥰 Tess was very respectful of my space and I would definitely hire Tess again!

I have 3 cats at home who would love to keep your pets company. Every new pet will get their own room just for themselves until they feel comfortable interacting with the cats (if at all). There is a lovely bike path and many parks surrounding my home, very well-suited for outdoorsy pets. I love to go for long walks and would love to take your pets with me. :) When sitting pets in their own homes, I like to meet them first if possible. This allows them to familiarize themselves with me in your presence, where they feel safe and comfortable. For all visits and stays, I come with treats (unless allergies). :) During stays and visits, I provide lots of long walks, playtime and exercise for active pets. I also provide cuddles, belly rubs, and ear scratches for the best puppies and kitties! Of course, all care would also depend on pet's personality and needs. And I would absolutely love to learn more about your pets.

Please let me know if your pet has any allergies, special needs or behaviours I should know about. I do have experience providing medication.
