I am licensed, insured and bonded and a member of Professional Pet Sitters International. First & foremost, I DO NOT BOARD/SIT pets at my home. I come to your home/farm/resort and stay with your pet(s) for the entire time you are away. I primarily serve the areas of Anarchist, Osoyoos, Oliver, Gallagher Lk & OK Falls. I will consider bookings further away, however only for overnight stays (not dro
p ins) and a nominal fuel & travel surcharge will be added. My booking rates will consider:
How many animals and type of pets/animals I will be caring for, how long you’re away, travel distance to your home, holiday bookings, transport to grooming or other scheduled appts, and any additional requests such as lawn/flower care, mail pick up, snow plowing, etc. Born & raised on a farm in the Okanagan, I’ve been surrounded by, and caring for, a variety of animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, budgies, chickens, cows & horses. I am not a dog trainer, however I am knowledgeable about some techniques and I continually strive to improve my skills and knowledge base. I believe in, and practice, remaining calm, assertive, consistent and patient with all the animals I work with. My husband, also farm raised, has extensive experience with tractors, swathers, combines, loaders (and more) and working with livestock. He currently works pt as a pilot truck operator but could accompany me on a large farm sit. I have experience with reactive dogs, elderly dogs & cats. monitoring/assisting dogs & cats whelping, diabetic cats and insulin injections. I have no criminal record, don’t use drugs and am very dependable and trustworthy. References & Crim Check available upon request. Should you entrust me to care for your beloved pets, rest assured they will be very well taken care of and loved, with at least 2 walks each day, unless your animals are unable to do so. Your home will remain tidy and very secure while you are away, and upon your return, your home will be as clean as when you left. In the event of a medical emergency, I will notify you and transport your pet immediately to their Veterinarian. Should it be a life threatening situation, I will immediately transport to the vet and contact you upon my arrival. I always schedule a Meet & Greet with you & your animals, at your home, prior to booking a stay. This is vital to ensure I am a good fit with your pet(s), able to meet their needs, and that you are also comfortable & confident with me. Should we all agree to proceed on to book dates, a 50% deposit is required to secure and hold your dates. Balance is due on my last day in your home, or as otherwise agreed upon.
