A: Yes! While I am 12 years old, I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals and take pet care incredibly seriously. I don't just rely on a love for pets; I back it up with professional training. I am a graduate of the Georgian Triangle Humane Society (GTHS) Pet Sitters Course, and my parents are always in the loop regarding my schedule and safety to ensure both your pets and I have a great experience.
A: Completing the GTHS Pet Sitters Course means I have been officially trained in animal safety, understanding pet body language, and emergency first aid. Combined with my volunteer experience at the shelter, I am equipped to handle different temperaments and recognize when a pet is stressed or needs extra care.
A: Not at all! I specialize in "pocket pets" and small animals, too. I have been caring for my own cats since 2019, my bunny since 2021, my dog since 2022, and my hamster since 2024. This means I already know the specific dietary needs, habitat cleaning routines, and safe handling techniques for rabbits, rodents, and other small animals.
A: Absolutely. I require a free, 15-minute Meet & Greet before any new booking. This gives me a chance to meet you, learn your pet’s unique personality and routine, and make sure we are a great match before you head out of town.
A: I offer my services locally within the Collingwood and Blue Mountain neighbourhoods. If you are curious if your street is on my route, just send me an EMAIL!
A: Safety is my top priority. During our Meet & Greet, I will collect your emergency contact information and your preferred vet's details. Because of my GTHS training, I know how to handle minor issues, and my parents are always available as emergency backup and transportation if a trip to the vet is ever required.
