I am a responsible and experienced pet owner seeking to provide pet sitting for cat owners.

I am the proud mama of two quirky rescue kitties, Otis (3) and Fred (7). I have owned both dogs (2: bulldog, lab mix) and cats (5) in the past.

As a recent parent of elderly pets, I understand how important a responsible, attentive, and caring sitter is for helping you relax while you're away. While you're gone you can rest assured knowing that your pet is being cared for and engaged with by a loving sitter. I will play with and exercise your kitty when I visit - or, if they like to live life at a 'slower pace', I'm there with lots of snuggles and affection! I am happy to send you regular updates and photos while you're away.

Because I am a lifelong pet owner, I have experience with everything from the routine feed and play to more specialized care. Specifically, I can help with: regularly administering pet medications (including inhalers), adhering to specific pet diets (including feeding individual cats different diets), feeding picky & finicky eaters, caring for geriatric pets and/or pets with disabilities, and caring for pets recovering from surgery.

During home visits, I will engage your pet(s) with playtime and/or affection, as well as take care of administering meals and medications, freshening water, and tidying litterboxes. I am available weekdays and weekends for 1-2 visits each day. Lengths of visits vary based on the number of visits per day -- no matter what, you can count on your loved ones getting 30 minutes of attention and care each day.

I am married and currently living in Charleswood. I am a research assistant at the University of Calgary.
