Hello pet parents!
I'm Sarah and I grew up in a small zoo as my family used to say. Being surrounded by cats, dogs, reptiles and small rodents my whole life I have become comfortable around all animals. Currently I have one wonderful kitty named Robbi and he fits perfectly into the orange cat stereotype. We moved to the Vic West area a little over a year ago and having been living our best west coast life since!
I love each pet I come across and want to make sure that your pet remains happy and comfortable when you're away. I am confident that I am able to meet the needs of your pet(s). I have pet sat primarily cats and dogs of all sizes, as well as a few bearded dragons, and have experience with pets with disabilities such as deafness, blindness, amputations and long term injuries, food allergies, and behavioural issues such as separation anxiety. My experience also includes work in pet nutrition and health. This experience has provided me the knowledge to strengthen the care I provide to each pet I come across by knowing the warning signs of physical ailments and allergy attacks. It has also given me the opportunity to meet pets of all kind and become familiar with specific needs of different species and breeds.
I work 8-4:30 Monday through Friday as an office assistant. I am able to provide services to Vic West, Esquimalt, Hillside/Quadra/Downtown, James Bay, Fairfield and Fernwood. If you are outside of these areas, please feel free to connect and we can see what we can do.
Services I am able to provide to your pet are:
- Daily 30 minute visits to socialize, play, and feed. I'm happy to also do basic grooming such as nail clipping, brushing and dental care, and administer any oral medications. For feedings I am comfortable with all kinds of food such as raw, wet, freeze dried and dry. During these visits I can take in the mail, water plants and do general tidying. After each visit I will provide an update, including photos, of how your pet is doing.
- Daily pet walking would be 30 minutes, but I'm happy to see how we can accommodate the individual needs of your unique pet! These walks can include time visiting a park and/or more open play time or throughout the neighbourhood.
- Visits and pet walking provided on weekdays will be in the evening. Services on the weekend are open to the full day.
I look forward to hearing from you and getting to meet your wonderful pet(s)!
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
Sarah did a fantastic job looking after our two cats while I was away for 3 weeks. She was prompt and clear with her communication and sent photos and updates each visit. She asked questions when she was unsure and developed a rapport with my super shy kitty and got her to come out for play and snuggles. Can’t recommend her enough!
