PLEASE NOTE - I have moved to my new place and getting settled in, and since this one is smaller than my old place, I cannot take as many home boarding bookings as I used to - I need to give first priority to old/current clients (especially during the busiest times of the year).

I am booked up for home boarding for September, so cannot take on any boarding bookings until early October. As for visits, I have more availabilities now that summer is over, and can take bookings from both new and old/current clients.

ELECTION DAY AVAILABILITIES

September 29 - I will be working at a polling station for the advance polls of a municipal by-election on that day, so will be unavailable for visits or pet pickup/dropoff from early morning until polls close (about 8-9pm at night).

October 21 - I will also be working at a polling station for the upcoming federal election, so will be unavailable from early morning until at least 1-2 hours after polls close in the evening.

VERY IMPORTANT - DECEMBER/JANUARY HOLIDAY SEASON

As I am already receiving requests for the December holiday season, I need to mention a few things.

First of all, I am limiting my bookings (for both home boarding and home visits) to old/current clients during that time period (I cannot take bookings from new clients from mid-December until early January).

Second, I am limiting home visits to the Plateau Mont-Royal and other close surrounding areas (such as Mile End, Outremont, McGill Ghetto, and Little Italy), so will be unable to accept bookings from clients who are too far from the area.

Third, there is a good chance that I will be out of town from the afternoon of the 25th to the afternoon of the 26th, so for those dates, I will not be able to visit twice a day and will need to limit other bookings too.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I live in a 4 1/2 in the Plateau with lots of space for a cat to wander/run around in, corners and enclosed/covered areas to hide in, and furniture (including cat trees) to climb/sit/lie down on.

I work part-time and freelance from home, so I spend a lot of time at home (great for kitties who get lonely when they're alone for too long) and am generally flexible when it comes to visits to your home.

I've cat-sat for friends (such as the owner of the white kitty above), temporarily adopted an old roommate's cat, and had many roommates in the past who also had cats.

Yes, I'm a crazy cat lady even though I do not currently have one of my own!

I do not take dogs as I do not know them enough to pet-sit them.

I may be able to care for other small low-maintenance pets during home visits (I have some experience with fish and birds), though I cannot board them.

Whether your kitty stays with me at my place, or I go to your place to care for him/her, he/she will get lots of petting, cuddles, and playtime along with the essentials (food, water, litter scooping).

And most importantly - lots of love!

I am available to take bookings from new as well as old/current clients, anywhere accessible by metro (though keep in mind that I cannot promise anything if you are too far from the Plateau/Mile-End area).
