Hi! I'm a 38 year old very responsible (and extremely conscientious about being tidy) pet sitter offering overnight stays at reduced rates. I'm a 4th year student at Emily Carr and commute from Victoria (I typically stay with my in-laws in Yaletown but would much rather pet sit as I miss my cats so much when I'm in school).
I'm a cat sitter for life! My childhood cat was with me from when I was 10yrs-26yrs :) I have had cats my entire life and currently have 2 fur babies. One is 19yrs old and the other fluff is 10yrs old. I work part-time in health care (I've been an occupational therapist since 2007) from home, contracting to law offices and insurance companies to provide case management and assessments for clients with disabilities/injuries. I'm also in art school, and sometimes pick up shifts at the Jubilee Hospital! I belong to a professional college which requires criminal record checks (& I'm fully vaxxed). I have a very flexible schedule and love to cat sit so I can get out for a walk and socialize with some furballs:)
I have been cat sitting for friends and coworkers for 20 years. I will take care of your cats exactly as instructed. My cats are on a special urinary diet and I've seen it all! I will feed, water, scoop litter, give meds, injections, or creams. I take good care to sweep/vacuum up any cat litter around, clean up hairballs/puke (working in healthcare and having cats for so long, nothing bothers me!). I will mop or vacuum your floors on the last day if you leave out your cleaning supplies. I will spend dedicated time with your cats (min 30min/day) and make sure they get all the attention and petting/cuddles/playing (if they're into that sort of thing). I can also take care of fish (I've had many over my life, including koi), water plants, bring your mail inside, and housecleaning.
Communication is very important to me - I send daily updates on how things are going, including photos.
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
Having Andrea staying at our place was very comforting! She took care of cat while we were away and send us pictures throughout the weekend. Everything went great and it will be a pleasure to have her back anytime!
Andrea was fantastic. Reliable, communicated promptly and effectively, and we came back to very relaxed and happy cats!
