Official "Crazy Kitten Lady" of the Nanaimo SPCA :)I was honored for my foster cat work with the 2018 Nanaimo BCSPCA Volunteer Award. For the last 3 years I've focused on fostering kittens/cats needing medical care and socialization. I'm on my 53rd foster and am loving every minute of it. I started fostering after I had lost my own beloved Vanilla Bean to cancer and was missing a kitty to love on. I realized that I could combine my love of animals with my desire to fight for the little guy. Though I worried it would break my heart to let my fosters go, in reality I am rewarded a million times over when I see pictures of them thriving with their new families. The greatest lesson I've learned from my foster is work is to meet an animal where they are. To interact with them in the way they are most comfortable (ie with play or treats) and simply be a calm and consistent presence for them. I've seen so many scared and shut down animals blossom in this environment and go on to loving and supportive homes.Beyond that I am Auntie to multiple cats and dogs (as well as 2 humans) and have pet sat for friends and family for decades. I offer cat sitting and dog sitting in your home. I can administer medicine/injections as needed and will interact with your pet at the level they feel most comfortable with. You can also follow my life as a foster on Instagram @marthas_foster_kittens and @nanaimocatsitter which is 100% photos and videos of cute kittens with the occasional unflattering photo bomb of yours truly.A 30 minute drop in visit includes:1. Fresh food and water.2. Clean litter or take your dog on a potty break.3. Play or cuddle.4. Administer medication or injections if necessary.Drop-in visits are available any day of the week from 6am to midnight. If you book 2 x 30 minute drop in visits in a day you will get a $2 discount.Unfortunately at this time I have a slight knee injury and cannot do longer walks so a high energy dog would not be a good fit.

With over 6 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I bring a depth of knowledge and expertise that is uncommon in the pet sitting world. My background has equipped me with the skills necessary to manage a wide range of medical situations, ensuring that your pet will be in safe hands, even in the face of unexpected health issues. I am well-versed in administering medications, recognizing signs of distress or illness early, and taking appropriate actions to address these concerns promptly.
Beyond my medical skills, my experience has taught me that every animal has its unique personality and needs. This insight allows me to adapt my approach to best suit the individual pet, whether they require extra patience, energy, or gentle care. Understanding and respecting these differences is crucial for creating a comfortable and stress-free environment for your pets while you are away.
I also recognize the importance of trust and compatibility in a pet sitter relationship. It's not just about ensuring the physical well-being of your pets but also about providing them with the care, love, and attention they deserve in your absence. I am committed to building a connection with each pet I care for, making sure they feel secure, loved, and engaged.&nbsp;
Choosing the right pet sitter is a significant decision. With my professional background in veterinary medicine and a deep understanding of animal care, I am confident in my ability to provide the highest level of service. Let me offer you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your beloved pets are in capable and compassionate hands.


I've taken care of dogs and cats of different ages and breeds for about 15 years now. Before I worked where I do now, I spent a couple years working for a professional breeder. I would walk, feed, play with and bathe the different animals.I love animals and I find great joy in spending time with them.I am a kind, professional, and animal-loving person. I have a very gentle approach to pet care and training. I am very comfortable with walking, bathing/clipping nails and helping enforce pets routines.I am currently working from home so I am very flexible with my schedule! As long as I can bring my laptop and use the wifi, I am able to accommodate most pet needs.I care for animals in the owners home, I have a small apartment without a backyard so I do prefer to sit at the pets home. Some situations I'll consider boarding, but it would have to be discussed further.
