About The Owner:

I’ve lived in Calgary since 1994 when my family and I moved from Europe.  I have enjoyed over 20 years working as a professional engineer in the Oil and Gas industry in Calgary.

I am a home-owner and I adore dogs.  I have cared for two dogs over the last 20 years, and have experience with birds and cats as well. I also understand the need for a balanced life and the toll that stress can have on people’s life. For me – traveling away from home was essential in order to be able to keep carrying on with my duties at home.  I have personal experience with things that can go wrong in your house or with your pets while away.  The idea of a home watch business arose 15 years ago when facing with a crisis – a friend cancelling my dog sitting 24 hours before my departure to Asia.  A few years back, while in Europe, another friend informed me that there is fire at my house after the alarm company notified her.  Fortunately, it was just a low battery signal from a carbon monoxide detector.

With the downsize in Oil and Gas industry and retirement knocking at the door, following market research, Focus Home Watch and Pet Care was born at the end of 2019. In 2020 I graduated from the MNP Self Employment course which has helped educate me on how to open and operate my own business.

The Home Watch and Pet Care provides a reliable line of professional house and pet sitting services to customers away from their homes to ensure that their property and pets are safe and looked after in their absence. We strive to create a better everyday life for people that spend money to have a well-deserved vacation.
