Hello Pet Parents, thank you for considering myself as your Pet Sitter :)

I am a Loving, Caring and Very Responsible Pet Sitter and a Pet Parent as well, so I know exactly how you feel and your expectations. 

I do understand how important is the connection between you and your pet, and I will do my very best to alleviate any anxiety that you may have while you are away by maintaining your pets routine as best as possible. 

I will treat your pet as my own and send you lots of updates while you're away (videos, pictures, messages) so you have peace of mind.

My Mission...

Is to make sure that while you are away, you have peace of mind knowing that your fur babies are going to be even more SPOILED, have the BEST CARE and receive lots of LOVE!

My Qualifications...

• I have completed my Pet First Aid & CPR Certification through St. John Ambulance so I am even more prepared to your furry babies needs in case of an emergency;

• Over 20 years of experience taking care of Cats, Dogs, Turtles, Birds and Guinea Pigs. How? Owning, taking care of rescued cats & dogs and my clients pets;

• Experience handling all types of personalities (Ex.: Insecure, frightened or shy kitties/dogs) and diverse situations (Ex.: Pets getting anxious, nervous, jumpy, excited and etc). 

• I'm proactive and very detailed oriented. When we first meet I will bring with me my "First Meeting Checklist" to ensure we cover everything and understand all about your pet, their routine, personality, food/litter, play time and etc... rest assured that I will be noting and executing all your detailed instructions.

My Services...

My Pet Sitting services will be at the comfort of your home - your pet will feel much more comfortable, happier and experience less stress staying in their own "comfort zone" (especially for cats and rodents); 

I also like to mention that during my visits I enjoy getting to know your pet at their own pace especially for insecure pets. This is to build trust with them so they don't feel any stress, nervousness or anxiety. It is such a rewarding experience meeting shy pets that hide at first and afterwards with lots of love and patience that same pet comes to greet me when I open the door, this is one the best moments of being a Pet Sitter, and I am happy to say that I have achieved these moments!

Home Visits…

• LOCATION & FEES – my current fees are for travel within 5 kms. If travel over 5 kms is required, there may be an increased fee to account for higher transportation costs; 

• TIME OF THE VISITS – Approximately 30 min visits/walk, which usually occurs in the morning and/or evening (I have limited availability for afternoon visits, please confirm with me in advance); 

• MEET & GREET – It’s very important for us to arrange a complementary Meet and Greet visit before my services start, so we can BEST meet yours and your pet needs and ensure we are a good fit. 

• FREE ADDITIONAL SERVICES: I also offer bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, garbage/recycling take-out, and as well as other reasonable requests (to be discussed and agreed upon in advance) at no cost. 

About Me…

• I’m a very proud mom of two incredible kitties – Hazel (6,5 years) & Henry (6 years), they are my everything and l love to spoil and talk about them!

• I grew up in a family that are absolute animal lovers and most importantly - I’ve been taught to always respect their unique personalities;

• I’ve always been curious and have done LOTS of research about dogs/cats behaviors (especially when dealing with challenging moments), have learnt a lot through the years and I love to talk to people about it. It’s on my wish list to complete a certified professional course in cats/dogs behaviors soon, so stay tuned!!

• Aside from my Pet Sitting business, I also have a stable full-time job where I work from home and gives me the flexibility to continue to do what I love the most which is Pet Sitting.

COVID-19...

I'm fully vaccinated and can certainly wear a mask during the visits (just let me know in advance).

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to send me a message :)

Looking forward to meeting you and your pet!

Way of Thinking..."I believe that pets are little angels in our lives and we need to give back that love and care that they give to us unconditionally, that's why it’s really important for you to find an excellent, caring and loving pet sitter".
