I am an animal lover and will tend to your animal's needs with utmost care and attention. I have primarily cared for cats in the past, but I also enjoy caring for and walking dogs. I love to get to know the distinct personalities and needs of each animal, so I can provide them with the best care and comfort while you are away.

With each home visit, I will spend an hour with your animal - replenishing their food, changing their water, cleaning the litter, and playing/grooming/cuddling with your animal, giving them focused quality time. I will also bring in any mail, water plants, and potentially other small tasks you need done while you are away. I work from home and have flexible hours - short notice is fine.

About me: I work freelance in the arts and live in the Beach with my partner. We sadly do not have animals, but enjoy getting to know the cats that live in our neighborhood and showering them with our respectful affection. The benefit of not having animals is that it has increased my availability to care for others’ animals over the last years. I am, essentially, the second mom for my mother's cats, Luna and Muddle Pie. I grew up with two bearded collie dogs, Lucy and Cleo, and a tabby cat named Jojo (known as "Scratchy Jojo" by our neighbors). Animals were an important and joyful part of my upbringing. My childhood cat left a particular impact on me: I admired his warrior spirit, his tenacity and confidence. He lived to the age of 21 and even as a limping old fellow, he was exquisite. I believe that every animal is deserving of love, care and respect and needs to be understood for who they are.

I live in the Beach area and am able to pet sit for animals living in the Beach, Leslieville and East York.
