I am a mature 50's woman who cares for pets in their own home. I formerly worked for a major airline, and have had some property management experience. Recent criminal records check can be provided along with current client references. I'm a firm believer that pets do best if left in their own homes while you're away. This also benefits you as you have someone staying in your home as security while you are away, avoiding the worries of leaving your home vacant.. I do have a minimum fee of three (3) nights unless otherwise discussed. Pet sitting on an hourly basis also available. Rates are per calendar day so when requesting booking please ensure that you’ve booked accordingly.
While I am working for you I will be working from your home, so your cherished pet will have constant care and company with the exception of a quick jaunt to the grocery store or coffee shop if needed. :)
I'm active and enjoy taking long walks with the pets in my care. I love taking field trips with them to the beach, off-leash parks if they are well trained and socialized, trails, etc. Or just around the block if you prefer.
Your home is left clean and well cared for along with your fur baby, leaving you to enjoy your holiday or trip without worry. Please contact me if you have any questions. My daily rate for walks is for the Richmond vicinity or if easily accessible within 15km (small fuel surcharge if outside the 15 km radius). My housesitting/petsitting rates are for anywhere in the Metro Vancouver area. Vancouver Island/Gulf Islands, and as far as Hope available with mileage allowance.
I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your needs.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. 7 days 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
We were nervous leaving our dogs because we didn’t have a backup plan. We are new to the area and don’t have family around. Dee was fabulous. She showed up when she said she would answered all our questions and most of all took great care of our dogs and our house. We came home to happy dogs and our house looked exactly like we left it, you couldn’t tell someone stayed here. Dee sent us updates of our dogs with pictures which we really looked forward to. We would recommend Dee and so would our dogs.
Dee went over and above to make sure we came home to an extremely well taken care of house and a happy puppy waiting at the door! Since we travel a lot we have had quite a few sitters and Dee has exceeded our expectations. We greatly appreciated the pictures and how she kept us up-to-date! We will use Dees services again and again- Highly recommend!! Thanks so much :D
Animal psychology course.
Worked a lot with dogs who are 'reward' trained. Can also work on new tricks while you are away if requested.
