Hello families. A little about me-
Pet care experience
I’m a teacher who is looking forward to working with pets! I have had my own dog for 10+ years and have taken care of other dogs as well! Neighbors, friends and families have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets! I am also an active dog sitter who lives near Algonkian Park! During the academic school year my availability is a little different, but my summer schedule is very flexible. I love spending time with my own dog and will take him out during various parts of the day if the weather allows. Since he is a dog with diabetes it is crucial that his feeding time is the same each day (7 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.). Aside from those times, I’m available to walk, care or check in with your dogs anytime they need! I firmly believe that pets are such important members of the family and giving them all the care and love is priority! When I care for pets, I make sure they are fed, taken outside on their daily walks and have some fun! When going on a walk, I make sure to carry a water, portable water bowl, bags and treats. I also check the temperature and make sure the heat index has not surpassed the recommended temperature for walking dogs. When feeding pets, I make sure to follow their feeding schedule and the amount recommended by their owner. I also check with the dog owner, if the pets have any allergies, medication or other health concerns. I ensure a safe, loving and welcoming space for each pet.
Reviews
Amazing as always, I love getting the updates, photos and walk routes. Appreciate the time and attention to detail. Always great knowing the kids are safe and taken care of.
Almendra was fantastic, she was very responsive and took great care of my dogs while away... I appreciate the pictures from walks or meals and updates throughout the day. Definitely made my trip less stressful, I know who to contact if I need someone to check in or stay with my pups. ?
Excellent experience! Almendra was very responsive and took great care of our golden retriever. She was constantly in touch and shared pics and comments throughout her time with our dog. She is fun and energetic and he had a wonderful time with her. Would definitely consider her again and highly recommend her to anyone.
She is AMAZING- kept us informed with everything and she is very personable and felt super easy to leave our puppy with her. Will definitely rebook her.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat any pet as my own pet. I ensure that they are comfortable, that they are fed, that they are also having fun and they feel safe. I know changes can sometimes cause pets to become anxious, and I want to ensure that while their human goes on trips, or is away, they are feeling like they are taken care of and feel safe!
Information Almendra T. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know their vets information, medical concerns, allergies, how active they are, if they know how to walk, if they get along with other dogs or people, their likes and dislikes!
A typical day
A typical day pet sitting would be taking the dog out in their morning walks or outing, giving them their breakfast and checking to see if they have any supplements or medication they need to take in the morning! I love walking distance to Algonkian park and that is one of my favorite places to take my dog to! We also have a huge field in front of my house where I love to take my dog to play frisbee or fetch!

Availability
Aside from making sure my dog is fed and given his vetsulin in the morning and evening, my summer days are super flexible. I am also open to do super early walks, or late check-ins for dogs. My schedule during the day is open. I do have a part-time on certain Saturdays and on those days I’m available available after 2 PM. I’m also available to housesit during the weekends.I try to update my calendar every two weeks.
