Hello!
I am the mother of 2 grown children, granny, and also a longterm nanny to 2 elementary school children. Now that the kids are in school full-time, I have time for other babies.
I have 2 cats at my home, one of which is a very timid rescue. At work, there are 2 more kitties. I have lived with cats all my life and had a few larger dogs. I love all animals, including reptiles, insects and arachnids!
I am the one who the shy pets will go to. I like to snuggle and care for them and am very playful.
All pet visits will be a minimum of 30 minutes. I have loads of energy for long walks/hikes & 1 hour dog walks can be arranged for an additional $15 by selecting the "Additional pet" option and advising me that you want your dog to have a longer walk.
I am happy to brush your pets, and have experience giving oral and injected medications.
I can water your plants, feed the fish, collect mail, put out your garbage bins and do any other small chores that keep your home looking occupied.
Of course, I will send you daily updates with photos so that you can see how your pets are getting on while you're away.
Visits would be before or after my part-time job, but I am more flexible on the weekends.
I live and work in Saanich, but am open to pet sits in other areas.
I am looking forward to hearing from you and discussing your friends' needs.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day 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
Jennie is very friendly and has good communication. She looked after our elder cat, spending lots of time with her including brushing. We felt that our cat was cared for very well. Thank you!
Jennie looked after my three cats for fifteen days while I was out of the country. I was quite worried about leaving them for so long, but knew I had found the right person for them when I met Jennie. I found her to be personable, diligent and very familiar with cats and their behaviour. She absolutely has the right “cat vibe”, with only my shyest one taking a little while to warm up to her.
She spent lots of time with them at each day’s visit, playing and sometimes just hanging out. By the end of the two weeks the cats would lie with her on the couch and she was getting affectionate head-butts from my shyest. The cats were happy to see me when I came home, but were very calm and clearly not stressed in any way. I could see they had been so well looked after and had not been lonely during my absence.
Everything was in great shape when I got back. I appreciate how Jennie kept my place clean of cat fur, which was an extra touch I was grateful for. Litter boxes were well maintained, dry food bowls were full and the water dispenser was clean and full. A wet food daily routine was picked up by the cats quickly and they anticipated her visits. Jennie was very careful about the doors remaining closed and locked while I was away, and I felt fully comfortable with her in my home.
I’m very grateful to Jennie for all her help and my precious cats were in the best hands. I feel much more confident going on travel now, and I hope to have Jennie back for future visits. Thank you again so much!
