I’m a gentle, reliable animal lover with a naturally calm presence — someone who connects easily with pets of all temperaments. My background includes several years working as a veterinary technician, offering dog walking and in-home pet care, and additional hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, small mammals, and even a few tortoises. This foundation gives me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, emotional needs, and the subtle cues that help us support them well. My approach is grounded, heart-centered, and respectful. I don’t force interactions or push animals past their comfort zones — instead, I give them space, choice, and steady encouragement so trust can build naturally. I’ve spent years observing animals deeply through practice, research, and even through the spiritual/personal connection themes explored in my former podcast. All of this helps me meet each pet where they are, with empathy, patience, and an attuned awareness of their unique personalities. I enjoy quiet walks, slow moments, and time outdoors — and many animals respond beautifully to that energy. Whether I’m providing drop-in visits, gentle playtime, companionship, dog walking, or simply creating a calm environment for a sensitive pet, I show up with real care, reliability, and presence. I understand how important routines, clear communication, and safety are for both animals and pet parents. You can feel confident knowing your pets are cared for by someone who truly loves them, respects their boundaries, and brings both experience and heart to every visit. Rates Pet Sitting: • 30–60 minutes —> $20–$30 per visit, depending on location and care needs Dog Walking: • 30 minutes — $18–$25 • 60 minutes — $25–$35 Rates can vary based on travel distance, number of pets, and specific care requirements. My experience with animals blends formal training, hands-on work, and a deep intuitive understanding of their emotional and physical needs. I’m a former Animal Health Technologist and have supported countless pets — mostly dogs and cats — through medical care, gentle handling, daily routines, and emotional regulation in clinic settings. For five years, I offered dog walking and in-home pet care, where I took time to connect with each animal’s unique energy, preferences, and comfort level. I’ve also cared for bunnies and tortoises, though my greatest connection and experience are with cats and dogs. In addition to my hands-on work, I co-hosted an educational pet care podcast focused on well-being, safety, nutrition, behavior, and the emotional/spiritual connection between humans and their animals. This experience strengthened my ability to read subtle cues, anticipate needs, and support pets holistically. I bring patience, compassion, clear communication, and a grounded presence — especially helpful for sensitive or anxious pets who need someone calm and trustworthy. Graduated from the Animal Health Technology program at NAIT (now called Veterinary Technology) which offers training in animal behaviour, animal health, animal handling, among other foundations of animal care.
