By background is in Early Childhood Education. For decades I had my own cats, dogs and guinea pigs and one beta fish. I devoured and acquired books on animal behaviour, dog training methods, trick training and senior pet care for years before 2011. My practicle learning continued with every pet I met. In addition, transferring the skills I had gained through my studies in Early Childhood Education and from working with families for over 20 years to families with pets was both hugely beneficial and seamless. Similar respect, patience and support for needed in families with dogs and cats. My own pets before 2011 and with each pet afterwards, provided me with many learning opportunities.

Since childhood, I've always been surrounded by dogs - from Huskies to other big breeds, providing the care that they need has always come naturally to me. This love for animals was only deepened when I had the opportunity to share my life with my own dog for twelve wonderful years. Building up on my personal experiences, I spent five years professionally taking care of pets. This journey began when I became a foster home for the SPCA, where I was entrusted with the care of animals with particularly special needs. This taught me the importance of closely following instructions, observing with diligence, and rigorously monitoring their state of health. Over the years, I've honed my skills in providing Animal First Aid/CPR, administering oral medication, and looking after senior and special needs pets. I am capable of taking care of high-energy pets and ensure they receive their daily dose of exercise. I also provide grooming services which include brushing of teeth and fur. My experience extends beyond caring for dogs, as I have provided care to cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and rodents, showcasing my versatility in handling all kinds of pets. Whether it's drop-in visits for feeding and playtime, dog walking, house sitting, or pet transportation you need, rest assured I can handle it. Comfortable with any schedule, I am available throughout the week, from mornings to evenings, and I can start immediately. While I am unable to bring your pet to my home, I am more than willing to drop by yours to provide the care your pet needs. I care for animals of all kinds and all needs. Whether they have fur, feathers, scales, or paws, I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect. From energetic walks to gentle care for senior or special-needs animals, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.
