ABOUT THIS VIDEO...
INTRODUCTION:
I'm a quiet, tidy, resourceful and trustworthy single female with a deep passion for all animals.

My previous life experience & careers offer many advantages to those who hire me.

I have experience in Animal care in both rescued animals & shelters so I can easily administer meds and keep an eye on your animal's overall health, Security & Investigation to keep your home safe, Light general maintenance to fix things or keep them running well and I have mega tons of LOVE to give your pets!

Perfectly fluent in French, English and Spanish.

WHY I WANT TO HOUSE SIT:
I am looking to return to Canada after a wonderful 12 years working with whales and environmental eco guiding in Mexico.

I am available on fairly short notice as my departure from Mexico is organized and I can fly in within about a week.

I am looking for a place anywhere in the world as I would love to see more of it.

I've had the pleasure of having one or more pets for most of my life and since I lost my own dog to cancer last Christmas, I miss being in the constant company of animals.

My only requisite is that the home have internet as I will continue to run my Graphic & Web design company GriffinGraffix.com from wherever I am; that's the beauty of an internet based career.

WHAT I BRING TO THE ASSIGNMENT / RELEVANT EXPERIENCE:
I have excellent references from house/pet sitting for the past 6 years and have had pets of my own for most of my life.

My pet/house sitting experience ranges from a single home with a single pet, to multiple homes in secluded area with 2 dogs, 2 cats and an exotic bird, to on-site management of rental properties.

I have rescued severely injured animals and worked with veterinarians & local community to restore the animals' health and find them loving permanent homes or release them back into the wild. I was even lucky enough to have been one of the very few volunteers allowed inside the pool with a very sick and injured rescued baby killer whale even though it was a 1 hr bus ride every day to get there, I feel very privileged to have been part of the team.

I treasure every animal I meet and I can offer your pet exceptional care and love.

As well, I am comfortable using tools and even larger equipment if needed. I can drive any type of car and have extensive driving experience as I worked as a delivery truck driver for Post Canada for many years, worked for CAA in road emergency services, volunteered with Nez-Rouge for many winters back in Montreal as well as with a house-call pet care company (both requiring being bonded). Getting bonded is never a problem as I worked and held a private security and investigation permit for many years in this particular career.

As a youth, I've also spent summers working on a large cattle ranch in Saskatchewan with animals ranging from cows & bulls, many horses (some for riding but most wild), pigs, chickens, bee hives and an organic garden.

My volunteering experience reaches from SPCA (dog kennels & wildlife dpt) to Jane Goodhall's rescue farm east of Montreal.

There's more of course, so if you have special requests, feel free to ask. It will be my pleasure to expand further.
