Hello, I'm Cat! As a silver lining of the pandemic, all my classes are online, meaning I have a bit more flexibility in my location as I wrap up my studies (I am fully vaccinated as of July 7). I enjoy meeting new furry friends so I like being able to care for other's pets while they're away. Plus, since I'm a student, I'll be spending a large portion of the day at home meaning more company for your pets :)
Since I was young, I've grown up around different kinds of pets--from cats, rats, and dogs, to pet fish and stick bugs, I've found love and happiness in caring for all types of animals. I've also volunteered previously at my hometown's humane society and previously worked as a housekeeper for a veterinarian's office there as well. Because of these experiences, I understand that every pet's needs are different, whether that means more cuddles, more playtime, or more space. However, building a trusting relaxing environment is my number one goal for both you and your pet while you're away. Spending time away can be stressful for everyone involved, but I find creating a calming and relaxing atmosphere where your pet's needs are met helps alleviate this. I'm also happy to send updates on how your pets are doing, so you can stay up to date with them even when away. As for a bit about me, I find joy in leading a relaxed and quiet lifestyle. In my free time I often find myself going on walks around the neighbourhood or to run errands, spending time gardening and being outside, and also just generally exploring the places around me. I'm always happy to take your pet with me if that's something they're comfortable with. Besides these things, I also like baking (mostly bread but other things too), doing puzzles, rollerskating, cycling, reading (all types of books), and birdwatching (mostly from porches at birdfeeders but also while out and about). Do not hesitate to ask questions, I'm always happy to set up a phone call or video chat to help you feel more comfortable and assured I'm the right fit for your and your pets. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends!
