“Stephanie did a fabulous job with Mylo our 5 year old cat. She was a consummate professional in all aspects of cat sitting. Mylo is normally reserved, however they bonded immediately. My family and I would have no reservation in admitting that she is among the best pet sitter. My family and I are very happy with her and would recommend her to anyone.”
About: Dogs - I have owned a dog since I was little and there has rarely ever not been one in the house. Cats- I have owned cats before and also kittens as well. I have completed a full 2 credit Co op at the OSPCA when in high school. I have lots of personal experience and knowledge with dogs and cats, either owning or taking care of them. I do have a full time job but I love to spend my time off caring for animals and getting to know new people and their pets :) I am respectful, easy going, polite, and punctual. I look forward to getting to know you and your animal(s). I currently work full time at Costco but I make time out of my schedule for taking care of animals because I love to do it I own a dog and he is very friendly. I’ve had him since he was a pup and he’s high energy so we spend time on a lot of walks, and we do a lot of enrichment time whether it’s just playing or doing tasks for treats. If I were to come to a clients home I am very respectful and will focus on your pet and make sure all their needs are met and are well looked after. Let me know of any routines to follow or just basic care and daily feeding schedules.
About: I have worked with dogs of all kinds for 10+ years. I am a stay at home mom right now who is looking to enjoy some time outside the home and care for your 4 legged babes! It's been a dream of mine to start my own doggy business and finally have the freedom to make that dream come true! I love all dogs and will love yours just as much as I love mine! I have 2 small ones at home but have tons of experience with the big ones too! I can help you get them to any appointments they have or just have a visit while you are at work for the day! Can't wait to meet some new friends big and small! I have flexibility in my schedule, so I'm confident I can work with you and find the right time and service to fit your needs. Services will be at your home. If your dog is ok in the car, we can go on adventures. I will treat your house like my own!
About: I’ve cared for cats for several years through both fostering and caring for my own pets, giving me experience with cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with shy cats, energetic kittens, and senior cats, and I always take the time to earn a cat’s trust at their own pace. I have experience providing daily care, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, and creating enriching environments with puzzle toys, treat puzzles, supervised cat grass, catnip (with owner approval), interactive play, and cat TV. My priority is always making cats feel safe, comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away, while keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I’ve fostered cats for several years, making cat care a meaningful part of my everyday life. Through fostering, I’ve learned that every cat has their own unique personality, needs, and comfort level. I enjoy helping cats feel safe and happy through patience, play, enrichment, and plenty of love. I also welcome cats into my home for boarding, where they’ll be treated like a member of the family in a calm and caring environment. I’m currently available seven days a week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication reminders, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’m committed to providing reliable and attentive care tailored to their needs. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, comfortable, and safe environment where cats can feel secure and relaxed. When I foster cats, I set up a dedicated space upstairs with plenty of cozy sleeping areas, hiding spots, and enrichment activities to keep them comfortable and mentally stimulated. I also keep the bottom of the stairs gated so my dog cannot access their space, while still allowing cats the option to explore further when they feel ready and comfortable. For visits in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the cat’s routine and making sure they feel cared for while their owner is away. Before leaving, I always ensure they have fresh water, food, a clean litter box, playtime, attention, and enrichment such as treats or activities to keep them happy. My goal is to provide patient, reliable care that helps each cat feel safe and loved in their own environment.
About: My typical day involves lots of outdoor adventure and fun for your pets. Whether it’s hiking new trails or enjoying playtime, I ensure your furry friends are happy and relaxed after a full day of activities. Their energy means more joy for both of us! I have extensive experience caring for various animals, including administering medication and providing support for pets with unique behavioral needs, like my own furry friend with anxiety. My background in pharmacy enhances my understanding of medications, allowing me to provide compassionate and knowledgeable care for dogs, cats, and more. Pet care is something I genuinely love having as part of my routine! I enjoy getting outside for walks, playing with pets, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual routine, whether that means morning walks, regular potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’d be so excited to make pet care a regular part of my week and get to know some amazing pets along the way! 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I always make sure to follow your usual routine :) I’ll stick to their feeding, walking, potty, medication (if needed), and playtime schedules, while giving them plenty of love and attention along the way. I also treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, make sure doors and gates are secure, and leave everything the way I found it. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. 🐶🐱❤️
“I'm so glad that we booked Avery and Sarah to look after our fuzzy babies while we were away. They took great care of them and were especially loving with our Senior girl and very patient with our sometimes grumpy boy. Communication was fantastic and we would recommend them highly to anyone!”
About: There has never been a period in my life that I have not owned a pet of my own. I also have experience working in vet clinics and caring for other people's pets in my own home. I love all animals of all shapes, sizes and needs. I work from home most days and can schedule my day as needed, meaning I can get up to attend to pets at any time. My evenings and weekend are work free. I enjoy getting outdoors for walks with dogs and enjoy curling up with a cat and reading a book. Play time in a pets day is essential as well and lots of time is spent having fun! I have a 2 story home with finished basement. I have 2 cats, our dog sadly passed away recently but we are family that loves dogs. 2 teenage girls who are also animal lovers who have always had pets in their lives. Both very gentle, caring and helpful. If I am coming into your home I will follow your direction and respect your wishes when it comes to your fur babies.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was born but have also had a bunny and now a cat. Love animals and have looked after many friends pets as well. I am currently in university and do not have a job so have lots of spare time. I miss animals being in my daily life since moving to England so would love to spend time with pets on a weekly basis. Each pet is different so what I do will differ. However no matter what that is I will always put your fur baby first and make them as comfortable as possible while respecting your home.
