Hi I'm Valeria/ Bonjour, je m'appelle Valeria! 🐾💕

Je suis bilingue donc vous pouvez me contacter en anglais ou en français!

I’ve always loved being around animals, especially cats. I’ve cared for many friends’ and neighbours’ pets over the years, from dogs & cats to hamsters & budgies. I’m also a proud cat mom of 2 fur babies, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else! 🐈🐈‍⬛

I specialize in cats and small/medium dogs, no matter their age, personality type or energy levels, including shy, nervous, senior, and slower-to-warm-up pets who need a little extra patience. My approach is usually calm and patient, where I let pets come to me at their own pace!

For drop-in visits, I make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible (for their comfort and yours). I provide food/water refills, litter/potty cleanup, playtime, brushing, plenty of cuddles & scratches, walks, and lots of photo & video updates so you don't have to worry! 📸

I’m super careful with doors, windows, keys/lockboxes, leashes, and introductions. I'm also good at noticing small changes in appetite, litter habits, mood, hiding, and fluctuations in energy. The more information and instructions you provide me (health/medical needs, oral medication administration, behaviours to watch out for, hiding spots, house rules, access details, etc), the better! 🏡

I work from home Thursdays & Fridays, giving me daytime availability (Monday to Wednesday I’m free after 5PM and before 9AM!). I’m always home on weekends, which gives me ample free time to care for your pet. I also live close to the metro so I'm flexible commuting to almost any location! 📍

My ultimate goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, and to treat your pet with the same care and attention as I would my own!

For anything unexpected, I’ll contact you right away and follow your emergency instructions/vet contact. 🚨

P.S. I’m also happy to help with a few tasks around the house while you’re away like:

📬bringing in mail/packages

🗑️taking out trash, recycling and compost

🪴watering plants

🫧washing pet bowls

🧹wiping small pet messes around food/litter area + sweeping around litter box

🔒checking doors & windows are locked

📷sending general home-check photos and updates

✨Anything else you’d simply like me to take care of during the visit!
