I am a 28-year-old nurse working full-time in Vancouver.
I have always loved animals and grew up with two dogs and two cats. I took the older family cat (14 years old) when I moved out and would love to keep your pet happy while you are away. I have been dog and cat sitting privately since I was 16 for friends and family. Although I can't have any more pets in my place, I would enjoy visiting your pets or walking your dogs so that they are the happiest they can be. I also have some experience with smaller pets such as hamsters, ferrets and guinea pigs.
Our family dog lived to 16 and my current cat is 16 years old so I have experience with senior pets (medications, arthritis, blind/deaf, subcutaneous fluids) and all the love that comes along with them :)
I offer cat visits in the home, 1-2 visits per day. I will give your pets all the attention they desire but also give them the space they sometimes need. For this reason my home visits range in time from 25-40 (if not more) minutes depending on the needs of the cats. I also offer dog walking (minimum 30 minutes) but due to my rotating work schedule the days and times vary depending on the week. I do have my schedule a year in advance so can commit to visits or walks in the future 😊
Celia was so considerate, attentive and kind with our 9 month year old cat. She helped put us at ease by sending updates on how she was doing - would 100% recommend her to anyone.
We would highly recommend Celia! She is easy to work with and clearly cares about animals. She sent great pictures of our cats and little daily updates while we were gone, which was much appreciated. We could tell the cats were happy and well cared for when we returned - we think they're waiting for us to leave again so they can have more visits and brushing from Celia!
