Hi! My name is Chiara, I’m originally from Italy and currently living in Victoria, BC. I’m a friendly, caring and responsible person with a genuine love for animals and several years of hands-on experience looking after a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds and small rodents. Having grown up around different animals, I’ve learned that every pet has its own personality, habits and needs. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks, an independent cat who enjoys a quiet environment, a bird that needs daily attention or a small animal that requires a specific routine, I’m comfortable adapting my care to make each pet feel safe, happy and comfortable. I’m naturally nurturing, patient and attentive, and I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your beloved companions while you’re away. When it comes to dog walking, I believe dogs deserve proper exercise, stimulation and time outdoors. That’s why my walks are never shorter than 45 minutes! I love exploring nature and going for long walks, and I’d be delighted to have your four-legged friend as my companion. Of course, I always take into consideration each dog’s age, energy level and individual needs. I’m also happy to provide feeding, playtime, companionship, overnight sitting and any additional care your pets might need. I will always respect your instructions and their usual routines. Your pets aren’t just animals to look after; they’re family. I’ll treat them with all the affection, patience and dedication they deserve! 🐾
