About Me & My Experience I'm a university student and lifelong animal lover! I've grown up with pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, mice, chickens, fish, hamsters and parrots. I currently have nine pets back home (six cats, two dogs and a parrot), and I miss them terribly while living away for university. I'd love the opportunity to care for yours! I have plenty of hands-on experience with both cats and dogs, including senior pets and animals requiring extra attention. I'm comfortable administering medication, following special diets, accommodating mobility issues and maintaining specific feeding, walking and bathroom routines. I'm attentive to each animal's personality and always happy to follow detailed instructions. Services & Activities I offer in-home pet sitting, drop-in visits and dog walking. Visits typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on your pet's needs. For walks, I usually recommend at least 20–30 minutes, but I'm more than happy to go for an hour or longer! I absolutely love walking on Mount Royal and taking dogs on hikes when appropriate. I think getting outdoors, exploring and having plenty of exercise is wonderful for dogs. However, I'm equally happy to stick to your neighbourhood and your dog's usual walking routes. Ultimately, I'm happy to follow whatever you and your pet prefer. Longer Stays & Home Care For longer sitting arrangements, I organize my schedule to spend as much time as possible with your pets. I can generally keep time away from the home to a maximum of approximately three hours, so your pets won't be left alone for extended periods. I'm also very respectful of your home and take its security seriously. I'll make sure doors and windows are secured, follow any alarm or entry instructions, keep keys safe and leave everything as I found it. Availability As a university student, my schedule is flexible, and I'm generally more available on weekdays. I can coordinate visits, walks and longer stays in advance. I'm bilingual in English and French and happy to accommodate your pet's individual needs!
