Aileen

Hi there, my name is Aileen, and I’m excited to hang out with your pet! I often get feedback from friends and clients that their shy cat came out of their shell more than expected during my visits. If you are concerned about your shy kitty, give me a try!

Home visit information:

I am able to do one home visit per day with your cat(s) and other small animals, and will do 2x visits per day depending on location. I will usually take one booking at a time, but for returning clients I will take a second booking. I need to stay within approximately a 10 minute drive from home, so location will be taken into account.

I am available to feed, water, brush, and play during a home visit which will last approximately 30 minutes. I will do all that is required to care for your little ones. I am comfortable with guinea pigs, fish, hamsters, and other small animals. I am comfortable administering oral medications as well. Weekday visits would mainly occur between 5-8pm, however morning availability before 9am could be requested.

Please note that beginning December 2024 my rates on statutory holidays are higher than regular days.

About me:

I'm 35 years old and I'm a professional in the mental health field supporting children and families. I am also an animal lover! I think all kinds of critters big and small are beautiful. On the weekends when the weather is decent (and sometimes when it’s not)I love to hike and go camping. I consider myself to be equally a cat/dog person, but right now I happen to have a kitty named Cordelia. She is 14 years old and requires lots of affection and attention, so I understand you want your cats to be in good, caring hands when you’re away! I know that many cats are not aloof-people haters that society makes them out to be, and desire lots of love. I am interested in cat sitting because I wish I had more pets myself, but Cordelia would be rather upset and I want to give her the best quality of life possible! For now I often pet sit for friends and family, or sometimes stop by to take their dogs out- I'm known as the favourite auntie :) I believe people are happier and healthier with pets. They are part of the family and deserve to be cared for as such. I know it can be difficult to have a stranger in your home and with your furry family. As a function of my job I am required to have background checks, so you can feel safe hiring me.

I look forward to hearing from you!
