I've been working in non-profit management for over a decade in the housing and homelsssness sector. I love being part of a good cause, helping provide dignified housing to people who are experiencing challenges in their lives. I live near Uptown, and work downtown so am pretty mobile. I feel very privileged to have had pets my entire life, mostly cats but dogs, reptiles and rodents as well. I know how challenging it can be to find someone to look after a furry family member and place a lot of value in folks who helped me care for mine. As an adult I have had two cats for upwards of 15 years, but lost my guy Oskar in 2017, and my gal Ophelia in 2019 due to failing health/old age, so I'm looking to have more furry faces in my life. I’m quite fond of most pets other than giant spiders! Nothing gives me more joy in life than sticking my face in a soft cat belly or having a good snuggle, but I understand and respect cats with all personalities and affection levels. I appreciate a clean space, and I’ll ensure it’s kept clean while you’re away; I’m not afraid of frequently scooping litter boxes and sweeping up the sand they leave behind. I promise to care for your cat the same way I cared for my fur babies. My visits can be 15-30 mins (depending on travel time) and can include feeding, scooping litter box, administering medication, brushing, playing, snuggling and a lot of love. Sweeping and plant watering are also included ;).
