Hello!
I used to be a veterinarian back in Brazil, and have switched industries since I immigrated to Canada. I do miss handling pets on a daily basis, a lot! I grew up with them, and am fascinated by their personalities. Back home I also owned a dog daycare and a pet grooming parlour, something I have fond memories of. I have 10+ years of experience dealing with small, lap dogs, and cats as a vet, and 25+ years of experience dealing with them as friends. I have a Border Collie called Ziggy and a cat, Princess, that stayed in Brazil with my parents. I'm bringing them over soon :)
I live beside Kensington Market, so if you're around please don't hesitate to contact me.
Additional services are
free of charge,
such as plant watering, bringing in mail or newspapers, scooping the cat litter and feeding the fish.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Shand took care of our boys for two days. He messaged us every day with updates and photos and followed our instructions that we gave. I would definitely recommend.
Shand is awesome! He took really good care of our cat while we were away. He sent us pictures and news and has been very accommodating. He even gave us tips and advices during the informal meeting as we are new cat owners. We knew our cat was in good hands as Shand used to be a vet (peace of mind guarantied).
We definitely recommend him to take care of your beloved pet!

PS: In case you're wondering, to be revalidated as a vet here in Canada, I'd obviously have to go back to university, which would take me a few years of dedicated study and a few other complicated procedures, something I can't do right now :)
