Andrea

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.
