I love animals more than anything in the world. I have cared for animals in some capacity for the majority of my life. In my life I have owned and loved dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, a turtle, hamsters, gerbils, fish, lobsters, aquatic frogs, aquatic worms, rats and mice.

Aside from my own pets, I have fostered cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters and rabbits from the Winnipeg Humane Society and Popcorns & Binkies Small Animal Rescue. I have fostered kittens and puppies from a couple days old, hand feeding them every couple hours. I have fostered animals that have been litter/outdoor trained and ones that were not. I have fostered animals with health issues and am comfortable with senior pets. As far as pet sitting, in the past I have watched other people’s dogs, cats, rats, a snake and birds. I’ve pet sat dogs at my own home and at the owner’s home. I am comfortable with introducing animals to other animals of all kinds.

If the animal is comfortable, they may roam free in the whole house. If they are not comfortable, I have a free entire comfy room to use and I also have gates to block off specific areas. There is a small dog run in the backyard. I will make sure all animals are cared for, given lots of space and of course a lot of attention and love!

I live close to an off-leash dog park as well as several leashed parks, including Assiniboine Park. I have a vehicle so I can drive to pick up/drop off (if needed) and can drive to a vet in case of an emergency.

All in all, I just genuinely really love all animals and it would be my pleasure to hang out with your furry family members!

I am home all day, everyday. I have a part time job working from home. I can spend all day with animals, as I do right now with my own pets. I have two dogs (ages 5 and 11, spayed/neutered), two cats (ages 3 and 8, spayed/neutered), one turtle, one guinea pig, one hamster and two fish. I live with one other person. I don't have any restrictions. Any breed, size, age, species, special needs, etc.

I am offering boarding services, day care or dog walks. I can take up to two dogs to board at one time in my home. I do not have a fenced yard but there is a small dog pen, with no gate. It can only be entered from leaving the back door of my house. I would allow free range of my house. There are several dog beds scattered through the house for sleeping, or guests can sleep on couches, bed or floor, whatever is comfortable. I would generally offer one walk per day but am open to whatever is needed.

Aside from animals, I enjoy art, photography, reading, watching movies, travelling, camping, yoga, plants and gardening.
