13 wonderful years with my loyal dog and now caring for my current playful cat. I have joyfully cared for friends' pets. Trusted, patient, and passionate, I adore cats, rabbits, and small furry friends.

I raised my dog from a puppy, did most of the training including the training for agility competitions. I also walked neighbours dogs who were a variety of breeds and temperaments when the neighbours were not well to do so. I took them on a variety of walks in different engaging environments to best suit their needs. I frequently cat sit when friends and family are away from their homes, including a two week cat sit in which I kept them entertained, supervised and fed them, keeping their litter clean.

I currently don’t have a job, so am quite flexible with the times I offer. I am not available Friday nights as I am a Scout leader, and I am not available on Saturdays. But Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and most Wednesdays are available.

My home is not available for taking care of your pet as my cat needs her own space, however, I am capable of maintaining your home to keep it safe for your pet, keeping any harmful food or objects out of reach or locked/shut away whilst supervising your pet to ensure their safety.

What a day consists of with you furry friend is very dependent on what your pets preferences and needs are with the experience being tailored as such. However, a typical day with your dog would include, 1-2 walks a day with stimulating and engaging environments for them to explore, puzzles and games to keep them entertained and engaged, cuddles whenever they like and companionship as they want and need. For cats regular feeding according to what they are used to would be kept, lots of cuddles as wanted, and 15 minute bursts of play time with the toys and games that stimulate them most throughout the day, with rest periods in between.

I chose to advertise as a pet sitter and walker as I have always grown up and lived with animals. And they became just as much a part of my soul as they were my life. My dog passed away a year ago and I desperately miss working with and taking care of animals. My family recently got a cat which is wonderful and I love her dearly, but I want to extend the help I can give to family's and their pets to more than just my own.
