i'm a mom to 2 boys and we love animals. my gift and heart is for serving and caring - both human and animals. i've been a social worker for many years, caring for people of all ages: babies, children, youth, families. i have helped with regular dog-walking and babysitting. friends have left their pets in my care too when they travel overseas (silkies, dogs, etc). all have given feedback that i've delivered excellent care. i handle with great care anything and anyone in my hands, and often go the extra mile. we love hanging out with friends' pets. we've also visited dog and cat cafes for birthdays. my family and i have always wanted a pet but wasnt able to until we adopted our 8y/o golden retriever in mar 2024. i love going for walks at parks and gardens, exploring new places and be out in the nature.

we are open to taking care of different kinds of pets. our golden retriever is gentle and friendly, hardly barks, gets along fine with almost every human, dog or cat or squirrel, loves chasing chickens though.

some important things to note before deciding to engage me as a sitter:

1) in your initial enquiry, pls share a description of your pet's personality, diet, temperament, routine, and special care or habits, if any 

2) in the best interest of your pets, it would be essential to bring your pets to my home for a visit (and/or a short trial stay) prior to daycare and boarding.  

3) pets that are not toilet trained can be accepted if they are familiar with wearing diapers 

4) please do not change the food just before or during the boarding period if your pet has been used to a particular diet. It causes undue mental and physical stress to the pets and their digestive systems. For kibbles and canned wet food, I can weigh and feed the required amount at each meal. For fresh foods, please pack and freeze each meal separately to ensure that they are kept fresh and avoid cross contamination. I am able to warm up the fresh foods before serving the dogs.

5) if your pet is used to wearing shock collars and/or is used to being confined/restrained at home, please do not engage me. my house is only available to free roaming pets (unless small pets like hamsters, or rabbits with their familiar cages brought for the boarding period).

6) extra services during boarding can be requested at additional cost, e.g, bathing, nail-trimming, trimming fur, etc

7) for late confirmation of services (1-3 days before commencement), an extra fee of $35 will be implemented 

8) for boarding, pick up after 12pm will incur additional cost of $5/hr.
for day care, pick up after 6pm will incur additional cost of $10/hr
