About Romy

I AM MOVING to Ahuntsic-Cartierville. If you want to re-book me, text me first to see if I can work it out with my commute as sat-sun-mon might still be possible for my Outremont/ St-Henri clients.❤️🐾

Français plus bas!

Eng Hello! I am a 25 year old who works from home and therefore who makes their own schedule. I am an animal lover with a gift for connecting with dogs and cats. Every animal I meet, I fall in love with.❤️ Three years ago I rescued my senior mini dachshund and it changed my life entirely. I have lived with seven cats over the course of my adult life and I know how to take great care of them. I am an honest, caring and thorough person. I can't wait to meet your pet! ☺️🐾

I have taken care of other people's animals ever since I was a old enough to hold a leash. I have a deep understanding of animal psychology and have trained my dog and my two cats. I made my senior rescue dog defy all odds and proved everyone who thought she was a hopeless case that they were wrong. I believe all animals deserve a chance. I also have experience working with traumatized cats and have solved a case of a friend's cat who had been too scared to come out of hiding for weeks. After my visit, he was a totally different cat.

I have experience working with all types of cats and dogs: young, old, overweight, frail, scared, energetic, etc., and will therefore tailor my service to your pets with my expertise. I make sure that all my visits/walks feel like a party and a safe space for your animal to thrive. I know how to dress an animal's wound, how to groom them, how to administer oral medication and how to train them. I also have experience with rats, ferrets, rabbits and chinchillas.

Important: For both my safety and theirs, I will refuse very large dogs with a high prey drive (meaning that they start running the moment they see a small animal like a squirrel), as I am not physically strong enough to hold them if they dart.

FR Bonjour! Je suis une travailleuse autonome de 25 ans qui travaille de la maison. Je suis passionnée des animaux et on m'a toujours dit que j'avais un don avec les chats et les chiens. Je tombe en amour avec chaque animal que je rencontre. J'ai secouru mon chien il y a trois ans, un mini teckel ainé, et elle a changé ma vie. J'ai vécu avec sept chats au cours de ma vie d'adulte et je sais comment en prendre bien soin. Je suis honnête, attentionnée et rigoureuse au travail. J'ai déjà hâte de rencontrer votre animal! ☺️🐾

J'ai pris soin des animaux des autres depuis que je suis assez grande pour tenir une laisse. J'ai une compréhension approfondie de la psychologie animale and j'ai dressé mon chien et mes deux chats. Quand je l'ai adoptée, mon chien était, selon plusieurs, un cas sans espoir. Je leur ai prouvé qu'ils avaient tort! Elle m'a prouvé que chaque animal mérite une chance. J'ai aussi de l'expérience avec des chats traumatisés. J'ai résolu le cas du chat d'un ami qui était incapable de sortir de sa cachette depuis des semaines. Après ma visite, son chat a complètement changé.

J'ai de l'expérience avec tous types de chats et de chiens: jeunes, vieux, en surpoids, frêles, peureux, énergique, etc. et je suis donc en mesure d'adapter mes services avec expertise. Je m'assure que chaque visite et chaque promenade sont une petite fiesta où votre animal se sent en sécurité pour être heureux. Je sais comment panser une plaie d'animal, comment les toiletter, comment leur administrer une médication par voie orale et comment les dresser. J'ai aussi de l'expérience avec des rats, des furets, des lapins et des chinchillas.

Important: Pour ma sécurité et la leur, je refuse les très gros chiens avec un fort réflexe de chasse (ce qui signifie qu'ils se mettent à courir dès qu'ils voient un petit animal comme un écureuil), car s'ils décident de pourchasser quelque chose, je ne serai pas assez forte pour les retenir.

Romy was an awesome sitter for our small dog and cat! We needed her for two over night visits (one weekday, one weekend). We needed someone who could collaborate their visits with our neighbors and follow specific diet instructions. Romy was awesome and exceeded our expectations. She gave us great communication while we were away; sending pictures and giving updates. Our cat has some grooming issues and Romy cleaned her litter box and also used pet wipes to help our cat clean her behind. We couldn't have asked for a more compassionate animal lover to take care of them. We would book Romy again, and we highly recommend you do too.

Familiar with dog training techniques
ENG On top of my experience as a walker and a sitter, I have a deep knowledge of dog behavior and training. I learned how to train my dog who was a ten year old rescue, and I taught her, among many other things, how to walk on a leash, how to come when called, how to resist the urge to bark, how to be left home alone, how to tolerate strangers on the sidewalk, etc. I also have helped friends with terrified cat rescues, and have solved a long term problem of a kitten who wouldn’t come out of a hiding place for weeks. I have taught my cats who hated grooming to love being brushed through positive reinforcement. FR En plus de mon expérience en promenade et en gardiennage de chiens, j’ai des connaissances approfondies en comportement canin. J’ai secouru mon chien ainé à qui j’ai appris à 10 ans à marcher en laisse, à venir quand on l’appelle, à résister l’envie de japper, à être seule à la maison, à tolérer les étrangers sur le trottoir, etc. J’ai aussi aidé des amis avec des chats secourus terrifiés, ayant en outre résolu un problème avec un chat qui refusait de sortir d’une cachette depuis des semaines. J’ai appris à mes chats qui détestaient se faire brosser comment apprécier l’activité via du renforcement positif.
