Don't impose on your neighbor, friend, or family. We offer a variety of services, including love and personal care of your animal friend(s). Think of in-your-home care in order to avoid the possibilities of parasites, disease, and stress your pet(s) may pick up in boarding situations. Kildaire Cat 'N Canary offers personal and affectionate quality care. Your pet's health requirements, unique behavior, and special needs are computer filed. If you are delayed in returning home, service can be extended until you arrive.

Basic service (for Cary only) includes: pet feeding, daily litter or cage maintenance, play and loving time, in-home plant watering, mail/newspaper/flier pickup, security checks, setting alarm systems, and restocking bird feeders.

The rate is $15.00 per visit for up to two animals; $16.00 for three or more. Rate includes all services. Every-other-day visit requests are not accepted, as your pet(s) would not be seen for approximately 48 hours between visits, and that is not acceptable for proper health and safety. If you have special requirements, please feel free to ask. There is no charge for the initial meeting (day time only; allow 30 minutes; please have spare key ready) to discuss your needs and allow your pet(s) to meet the sitter. Last minute service requests are welcome during non-holiday periods.

Service of the Heart is a no-charge service that I have quietly practiced for many years. It is designed for both animals and their human companions. Service of the Heart is for all animals that are either in physical distress, suffering from medical disease, or recovering from surgery as well as those who are suffering from depression, confusion, or grief due to the loss of an animal or human companion. It is also especially designed for those who are known to be in the process of passing.

For animals in physical or mental distress, Reiki is applied. Reiki, pronounced “Ray-key”, comes from the Japanese words rei (spirit) and ki (energy). It is translated as “universal life energy”. Reiki is ideal with animals because it is gentle and non-invasive, and causes no stress, discomfort, or pain. Animals respond intuitively to Reiki’s power to bring comfort and/or relief from emotional stress as well as physical trauma. For animals that are healthy, Reiki helps to maintain their health, enhances relaxation, and provides an emotional sense of peace and contentment. Reiki is not meant as a substitute for veterinary care.

For animals in the process of passing, Reiki is a gentle method to provide comfort, relief from fear and anxiety, and ease the transition to death. I will help guardians make the decision about timing for euthanasia and will accompany the guardian for the procedure if asked. The specific approach is different for each animal and will be discussed in a consultation session with the animal’s guardian.

Why “no charge”? Service of the Heart is my way of giving back to the animals all that I have received from them at “no charge” during my life time. I am not a channel, healer, psychic, or saint. I am an anchor in the light, a comforter, a facilitator for the south of both human care giver/companion and his/her creature soul-friend. Selfless love and compassion drive my desire and ability to help. It is, simply put, what I was born into this life to do. I have assisted the ill, distressed, and dying before and believe in a life force flowing through all beings, all things. The animals themselves guide me in what I can do for their well being. I work from that, create from there.

If you wish to discuss the needs of any kind of animal in your care or the care of friends or family members, please feel free to contact me.
