Let me tell you a bit about myself…

I'm a detail-oriented, self-confessed nerd who loves to look after other people's pets & houses.

It's always a load off your mind to know that everything in your place is taken care of when you're away -- and who better to do that than someone like me; I have over 20 years experience, don't drink, smoke or even do coffee -- though I might stay up late working on my laptop... but that's about as wild as it gets!

So far I've looked after dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, guinea pigs, chinchillas, bearded dragons, teen-aged International students & some adorable little kids. Often there's a garden to water, plants inside the house & newspapers to bring in off the porch, or packages to be signed for... you know, all the little things.
I have lots of patience & will quietly wait for your cat to come out from its hiding place -- even if it takes a week! After that we'll be getting along great with lots of brushing and purring going on.

I really love the opportunity that house-sitting gives me in the variety of different animals & neighbourhoods that I get to experience. Eventually I'll settle down somewhere, but for now I like the constant change.

My background is in photography & I will most likely take lots of pictures of your pets looking cute (at least that's the idea! sometimes they're shy) but I'll only use the photos on my website with your permission & I would never show information that would be considered personal -- just let me know your level of privacy & I will always act accordingly.

I answer the most common questions on my Frequently Asked Questions Page (click on 'Fees & FAQ's' up in the next column to the right) but if there's something you need to know that isn't on that list, then please call or email!

All the best,
Storme

“When Storme stopped by my place, Josie and Lou immediately warmed to her as she is very respectful of their space and individual demeanours, and seemed very kind – a real pet lover!”

"Just wanted to say thank you again - it's so great to be able to go away and not worry so much... and to come home to clean linens and two happy kitties = heaven
Thanks Storme!"

~ Madelynn
“I have just arrived home and my ‘boys’ really look absolutely amazing!”

"Thank you for everything, it's wonderful to go on a holiday and feel secure leaving. The house is so clean and the kitties are so fluffy!
I am very grateful for the love and care you provided to them.
Thank you so much!!"

~ Lynda
“I know that Maddie enjoyed your company because she was looking for you after we got home, and I have never known Talkie to be so relaxed with anyone else.”

"Ron and I wanted to thank you so much for looking after our 'family' while we were away. Thank you a thousand times and please keep in touch."

~ Judy
“It makes such a difference to be able to go away and not have to worry about things at home.”

"Hi Storme, just wanted to say thanks so much for taking such good care of our little family and our home while we were away. We truly appreciate you and your expertise in caring for our dogs."

~ Rob and Karol
“Sugar is a nervous cat. She doesn’t bond with people easily, but Storme’s gentle persistence won her over.”

"I'm not one for having other people stay in my home when I'm not there...unless it's Storme. If it's her, I know that she will take care of Sugar and our home as I would. We travel sometimes for 6 weeks. During that time we need several things done besides just minding the cat. Storme's super organized and keeps on top of it all. She also keeps in touch with me by email which is very reassuring.
Storme did more than just feed Sugar. She kept her company and brushed her too. So we come home to a happy cat."

~ Sharon
