I am Femina, a 28-year-old woman from Stoney Creek who adores cats. Although I am quite new in the field of pet care, my love and passion for animals will surely make up for it. I am currently seeking work that involves drop-in visits (feeding & playing), dog walking, house sitting, boarding, and transportation. To ensure your peace of mind, I also offer the option of bringing your pet to my home.
