Here's what I do...

In House Pet Sitting

starting @ $60 per day

Usually the choice for dog owners.  I stay in your home, overnight.  I try to mimic your routine as much as possible.


I admit, I have some issues with sciatica, so if you're the type of owner who gets up at 4AM to go jogging with your dog for two hours, then I am not the pet sitter for you. 

Drop In Pet Sitting

starting @ $30 per day

I visit your home, once or twice a day, to feed, clean, and play with your fur baby.


If I'm required to be there more than twice a day, then I would recommend the In House Pet Sitting

Need A Hand

$20

I do this for Emergency Situations.  For example, if you're stuck at work but your dog needs to be let out for a pee break at lunch time and you can't get away, I can do that.  Or, if you're suddenly in the hospital and just need someone to check in, I can do that.  Maybe you want someone to hold your rabbit while you trim their claws, I can do that.


This is really for unique situations that crop up from time to time.

About Fuzz n Feathers

Me 'n my fluffy cat, Hexadecimal

A little blurb about me....

I'm not good with people, but I'm pretty great with pets.  Exotics and cats are my specialty, but I believe I can handle just about any pet.  I currently own 11 pets -- five rabbits, three chinchillas, and three cats... and a husband, so 12 pets if you include him.


What I Can Do

Cats are second nature to me.  I "speak" cat fluently.  With dogs, I am always learning new things about them.  Sure they all know, "sit" or "drop it", but after that, it's anyone's game.  Dogs may all speak the same language, but they each have their own dialect, and I always have to learn it.  Otherwise, dogs and I get along great.


When it comes to "Pocket Pets", that is my Home.  I have owned guinea pigs, rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils and chinchillas.  I am convinced I can take care of any small animal.  Degu, ferret, prairie dog, etc.,  bring it on!


I've never taken care of Reptiles.  I'm willing to look after them though, as long as there is no "live feeding".  I can handle bugs and worms... I think.  I'm really not sure how comfortable I am with frozen.


I have had many fish tanks in the past.  Never took on a saltwater tank, and I'm honestly afraid to.  Freshwater, I believe I can handle that.  I will need you to go over *everything* you do, in detail.

I've only ever owned one budgie in my life.  I believe my Bird Knowledge is somewhere between Beginner and Intermediate.  There are a lot of birds.  I can't know everything about all of them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to message me at melissakstone@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

I am the most boring person, EVER.  No one in their right mind would come looking for me to have a fun time.  My hobbies include crochet, reading and watching horror movies.  I am very, very boring.  I don't drink alcohol or smoke anything.


Mostly, I like to read and research about animals.  Additionally, I worked at the PEI Humane Society for 5yrs, in the past.  I have owned pets all my life and I constantly try to learn new things about them.


I'm afraid not.  I am what is considered a "hobby pet sitter", and thus far, there isn't an option to insure such a thing.  I have never been bitten badly by any animal.  I do get nipped from time to time.  As far as I'm concerned, it comes with the territory.  


Sort of, but not really?  I can trim claws on small animals (guinea pigs, rabbits, etc).  I have trimmed my cat's claws.  I have never washed a dog or trimmed their claws, and I'm not confident in trying to do so either.  I do brush animals, like rabbits and cats; and have been known to remove matting.  I am NOT by any means a professional and have no real training.


No.  I pet sit by going to your home, that way, your fur baby doesn't experience any disruption.  I am merely a weird new human in the house, who can be avoided if they want.  Only in very specific circumstances would I bring another animal in my home.  Usually that means the animal would have to be very small.


I have a handful of people who help me in situations like this (mostly my husband).  If there will be a large disruption due to illness, I will do my best to find a replacement person, who I trust, to take over for me.


Nope, and I don't plan on joining.  Firstly, they are an American company.  Secondly, I would be required to pay them a fee for their services.  They would take a percentage of my earnings.  I'm far too cheap to be doing that.


As a professional?  No.  As a social media user?  Yes.  My FB is for my personal use.  I have a dark sense of humour and I'm very sarcastic.  Neither of these things are good for a professional appearance.  So, no, you'll never have to worry about me posting pictures of your fur family online.


We pet sitters all know each other here on PEI.  So, if I don't have any availability, I can contact several other pet sitters that I've met with, personally.  Hopefully, someone will be able to help you out.
