I grew up in Alberta around horses, chickens, pigs, cats, dogs and many other farm animals. It's been a few years, but I know how to ride horses, groom most animals, clean paddocks, stalls and cages. I'm energetic, strong, a quick learner, and am not afraid of hard work.
Hello!
I am now completely booked Winter 2023 - Spring 2024. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to chatting with you in February when bookings reopen!
:-)
————————————————
I’m a 31 year old (used-to-be-single-catlady). I'm still single, but my sweet angel of 16 (tuxedo cat named Zu) crossed over the rainbow bridge this year. Many of my friends say she lived so long because of all the love she got.
Fast forward to now. I'm currently living in a communal home with 6 ducks, 2 guinea pigs, a cat, a dog and over 1500 plants that I grew from seed this spring.
Adventure calls and it's time for me to leave the nest. I've finally secured my dream job, working remotely for an environmental monitoring company. I've worked with the company since the spring, and am able to do my job completely remotely.
I've lived on Vancouver Island for the past ten years. In that time I trained as a cook, a cleaner, a personal assistant. and wound up working as a Logistical Coordinator / Human Resource Manager. In that time I also completed my BSc.
I grew up with a lovely family dog, and was known to always meet cat friends on walks. I was never allowed to get a cat growing up due to family being allergic, figures that as soon as I moved out I ended up with sweet Zu.
I was however as a child, allowed to have two bunnies (Hoodini and Blackberry), a guinea pig (Alice) and a fish (Pablo-Louise).
My grandma lived on a farm we would often visit, which had dogs, alpaca, miniature horses, barn cats and a pot-belly pig named Penelope. It is from her that I probably get my love of animals.
My other grandma was always in her garden, and adored Roses. She had every flower under the sun, and a massive apple tree. She taught me from a young age how to garden, and I can remember her knocking on my parent's door as a kid, and getting me to go and pick the raspberries from the backyard with her and then together we would make jam.
My mom has the biggest green-thumb I think I've ever seen. One winter I flew back to visit, and in a cold prairie province of Canada, the woman had a Hibiscus almost 6 feet tall that was flowering.. in December!
In a nutshell, I am an energetic animal lover, who adores plants and animals of all kinds. My computer job allows me to work remotely and travel freely and I can monitor pets / give walks / cuddles throughout the day. Quite honestly, I need to take myself for walks to get away from the screen, and cuddling animals always helps to solve tough computer problems!
I would be honoured to spend my time taking care of your creatures and exploring your neighbourhood, and hope to chat with you further soon. :-)
