Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to watching pets, patience, knowledge and experience are invaluable traits to have when handling another person's furry friend. I make sure to come prepared both mentally and physically for my sitting appointments. I have conversations with pet owners to learn more about their pet and get information that will make the sit go smoothly in my home or theirs. I ask about their pet's likes and dislikes, favorite toys, quirks, medical history and much more. All these are important to make sure you come back to your pet just as happy and healthy as you left them!

A typical day

With dogs I'll enjoy a nice run so the dog and I can get some exercise or I'll do a long walk if I'm not in a running mood. I also have balls, frisbees and toys at the ready to spice things up and provide challenges the dog will love. For cats I like to play with them a bit using some wands and strings and place treats around the space for them to find. All this helps to keep. a cat moving and engaged. And when its time to relax and calm down, cat or dog, I'll throw on some soft music or watch a bit of tv with them by my side while I pet them.

Cat care experience

I've been taking care of cats since I was a kid. They're so cute and easy to be around, I find myself holding one all the time. And cats almost never shy away from me, in fact they tend to follow me home. Its probably a super power I have at this point

Chuck was very communicative and sent lots of videos to show how my cat was doing, her food and water supply, and to also just show how apartment was while we were gone. He was very accommodating to all our requests and cleaned up after my cat’s accidents. Would book with Chuck again!
