Hello! Heres A Little about me
My name is Amy St. Jarre and I was born in Thunder Bay Ontario. I was lucky enough to grow up in a household full of animals and love. I have a lifetime of experience caring for all kinds of furry friends. As a child my family had three cats, a bird, and a husky - living in a home with that kind of love is hard to let go of! I became use to coming home to a new pup every once and a while - when my mom had found one wandering the streets. We would quickly clean them up and make them comfortable - and of course make sure they weren't lost! They would stay with us for as long as they needed - until a loving home was found for them.
When I moved out I continued to foster many fur babies through local organizations and I found myself pet sitting quite frequently. When I moved to B.C, where the law about tenants having pets is much different, I realized I wasn't able to continue to foster. I missed having my furry friends around so I reached out and I continued to pet sit.
I believe in providing the most loving and comfortable environment for our companions and my kind and compassionate nature ensures that that is what I bring to the table. I will love your little companion as though they are my own and I will ensure they have the best care possible at affordable rates.
I have two great loves in my life...
Animals and The Great Outdoors.
Naturally dog walking and pet sitting are right up my alley. I have been pet sitting for over 10 years - 7 of which have been in Victoria B.C. In that time frame I have had over 100 clients and countless furry friends. I like to bring the experience of nature to the work that I do. For our little companions that enjoy the great outdoors- I will bring them back to their roots with as many hikes as their heart desires !
