Furry Friends Deserve the Best Care

I’m a past pet owner. I've recently looked after my sisters two small dogs for long weekends or a week at a time in BC while they were away. I’ve even looked after a relatives house, 2 Great Danes, 1 med sized dog and a few cats for a couple weeks when I was a kid with my elderly grandmother. Big responsibility! I’ve also looked after a neighbours cat for a couple weeks twice a day for feeds, daily cat litter cleaning, and music turned on and off with cuddle time. I’m bondable! I’ve volunteered and work for police forces over the years so no record etc. I believe animals have souls and need love and to be cared for. I’m willing to go to your home and water, feed and take your fur baby out for bathroom breaks and a cuddle. This will take a load off your mind as well as physically for your fur babies. I may not have years of getting paid and labelled as “professional” but I’m experienced when loving animals and using common sense to look after them and your home. Any questions, just ask. Cheers.

Olga and Blair were well cared for and she was able to step in after another sitter cancelled. We are grateful.

Thelma was fantastic! She stepped up for us last minute and was punctual, easy to communicate with and very professional. It was wonderful to feel comfortable going away, and knowing someone capable was looking after my pup. When we came back, she had done the laundry and tidied the house and amazingly kept all of my flowers in bloom. She also was flexible and understanding, allowing workers to come into our house while we were away and keeping us up-to-date on their progress. Most importantly, when we returned Finnegan was calm, relaxed and happy. I would absolutely recommend Thelma for anyone looking for a reliable House Sitter who goes above and beyond.

Thelma was terrific! The boys really enjoyed her company. Great with animals, professional, reliable and goes above and beyond to ensure the pups are loved and well cared for. Very communicative, she left a detailed score card of the visit to let me know how the stay went! I highly recommend Thelma for house sitting!

This was Thelma’s 2nd time with my furry babies and they have become even more comfortable around her! They are their usually selves which makes me so happy. Thelma is great at communicating how my pets are doing and leaves great updated notes at the end of her stay!

Safety, trust & environment

I will obliviously, learn and note what is needed as per the owner of the pet. I will make sure the pet feels loved and not alone while the owner is away. I will look after the residents as well. Pets are fed and watered in a timely manner and working with the owners schedule as required.

A typical day

I've taken dogs for walks in the neighborhood, on a beach we'd play fetch in the water. Small dogs, throwing the ball for the pets in the house and in the yard at owners request.
