Greetings pet parents! Just a quick heads-up that I am currently only taking new clients in James Bay, Downtown, Fernwood, Fairfield, Oak Bay, Quadra Village, Mayfair, and Vic West. I am very experienced with cats(I have 2 of my own currently), experienced with dogs and interested in all other animals. I'm comfortable with reptiles and insects also. I enjoy the jobs I get on Pawshake because meeting new animals and having the chance to get to know them is one of my passions. Each animal has a distinct personality and I relish the challenge of anticipating their needs and wants, and building a relationship with them. Earning the trust of an animal is so rewarding. Home visits and dog walks are 30 minutes. I will feed and play with your pet, as well as clean any litter boxes. I am also able to water plants/feed fish/collect mail/take garbage and recycling out, if those are things that need doing when I visit your pet(s). I sometimes take house sit requests, and those services include me staying with your pet(s) at your home and taking care of plants, receiving packages, etc, on a more in depth basis. I have experience with animals with behavioral problems and with specific medical needs. I am fully comfortable administering oral medications. I have completed online training of pet FirstAid and CPR. In my spare time I enjoy reading about animal psychology to hone my skills as a caretaker. I work at my day job 9-5 Monday/Tuesday/Friday but am otherwise very flexible with timing of visits! I am up to date on my covid-19 vaccine boosters and take safety/hygiene very seriously.
