Dog Sitting Brantford

“Britt is extremely patient and gracious. My dog is not the most easygoing and Britt came by twice before I needed her just so that my dog would be comfortable when she came by without me being home. She listened and respected my preferences, and my dog’s preferences. It was really important to me that my dog was familiar and comfortable with Britt, as she isn’t with many people. Britt was absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”

About: I am currently studying animal science at the University of Guelph and hope to become a veterinarian, so caring for animals is something I am truly passionate about. I have spent recent summers caring for pets like cats, dogs, and even chicks, giving me experience caring for a wide range of personalities and needs. I have grown up with pet cats of my own and I have experience administering medications, orally and by injection, and managing health needs such as seizure care. I have Walks and Wags pet first aid certification, so I am confident in my ability to respond appropriately in stressful situations. I always aim to provide calm, attentive and reliable care tailored to each animal's unique personality and needs. I currently work weekend evenings as a server. However, throughout the week I am able to plan my schedule around visits when needed. Since caring for animals is something I enjoy, I can make it a priority in my daily routine. I provide care for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable. I always follow each owner's routines and preferences closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, administering medication, litter box cleaning, playtime, or giving pets companionship and attention. I understand every animal has different needs and personalities, so I aim to create a calm, safe, and stress-free experience.

About: Hi there! I’m Melanie, a Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT) with the Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians (OAVT). Caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, and my very first job was at a dog kennel. That experience opened the door to working in an animal hospital, where I realized veterinary medicine was exactly where I belonged. I went on to earn my diploma as a Veterinary Technologist and have since worked in several small-animal clinics as well as emergency hospitals. I’ve cared for animals of every size and temperament, and I’ve built strong technical skills through hands-on work in anesthesia, surgery, patient care, and fast-paced emergency situations. I have a genuine passion for animal care and the expertise to support pets with both basic and advanced needs. Whether your pet requires medication administration, injections, subcutaneous fluids, or just a loving and attentive companion, I’m here to help. Your pet’s comfort and well-being will always be my top priority. I currently work full time, so my availability is limited to evenings and weekends. I have access to a reliable vehicle and hold my G license. As a Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT), I uphold a high standard of ethics and care that aligns with the Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians (OAVT). I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets and truly understand how important they are to your family. I’ve also house-sat for several families, and my goal is always to respect your space and leave it even better than I found it.

About: Ever since I can remember my family has had dogs. After getting married I started my own dog family, I’ve had 3 gorgeous shi tzues, one that lasted 16 wonderful years with us and now I only have 2. One is 11 years old and her sister is almost 3 years old. I’ve also taken care of their mother whom is now 16 and helped her give birth to more than 10 puppies and taking care of them until they found a home. Let me also love your dog! I will love them and take care of them as if they were my own, you will feel very confident to leave them under my supervision. I’m a stay at home wife so I can take them for walks any time. Im currently a stay-at-home wife so I have more than enough time to care for your furbaby! I have reliable transportation to get to your place or take them out to a park. I have a car to take your fur babies to a dog park if wanted or just around the block. I am the most trustworthy person you’ll know and can feel safe giving me access to your home and pets.

“I have had Joanne for a couple of two week vacations for home visits for our senior cat. She is accommodating and very reliable. I highly recommend her for your pet needs.”

About: I’m a cat mom to two wonderful felines named Moonlight and Blue. I also walk and play with my favorite dog (an unneutered Mastador) three times a week. It is the next best thing aside from having my own. Cats have been a part of my life since my teenage years. I have experience administering oral medication as needed. I also spent two and a half years working on a farm (as a bookkeeper), where I had daily interactions with feral cats and often cleaned their wounds or treated minor eye issues. If you are looking for drop-in visits for your cat, please read the "cat care experience" section of my profile. I’ve raised two orphaned baby birds (a Starling and a Robin) at different times in my life, each for about a month. They brought me so much joy. You can view photos of Blueberry (the Starling ) while you look at my profile photos. Share your pets likes and dislikes with me and l will use this info to create a caring experience that keeps them well-supported. How does your dog react when meeting other dogs on the street? Do they pull on the leash when being walked? Are they more likely to finish their meal when a trusted person is with them rather than when they are left home by themselves? Tell me about their personality and energy level so I can provide them with the best care possible. At our first appointment, I will meet you and your pet ( at no cost) so we can decide whether we are a good match. I currently work part time ( homeschooling my daughter and doing pet drop-in visits/ dog walking). Most of my availability is early mornings or after 3pm. Let me know what you need and I will do my best to fit you into my schedule. . . . I will work with you and your pet to make sure I provide the care you are looking for. Tell me about their personality, behaviour and preferences or any special routines. Shall there be challenges, I will work with you and your pet to resolve them. I have passed a Police Security check which hopefully gives you some piece of mind. You can also meet me in person to decide for yourself whether we are a good match.

About: Hello! My name is Kristin, and I have always had a passion for spending time with many animals, especially dogs. I’ve grown up with pets ranging from fish, to birds to dogs. I’ve owned and taken care of many different breeds of dogs such as westies, yorkies, beagles and labs. My partner and I currently own two dogs, who are a very important part of our family. As a dog owner myself, I know how nerve racking it can be to leave your dog with a stranger. Therefore please feel free to ask me any questions, or let me know anyway that I can make you or your furry friend more comfortable with the visits. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon!

“She did a great job at taking care of my three kitties. The wet food kitty dishes were cleaned with each visit, and so were the empty tins for recycling. Litter was cleaned daily and put into the outside bin. She has a positive happy attitude and even watered my front porch plants which I had forgotten about. She is trustworthy too if you worry about your home. She is Smiley approved!”

About: My special skills might be too vast to list. I have experience with a wide array of animal care including dog, cat, small animal, exotics, equine and avian. I've cared for animals in all life stages, with high behavioral needs, complex and chronic medical conditions as well I am confident in crisis intervention. Please feel free to reach out so we can discuss my experience in more detail. My schedule is generally quite flexible and I should be able to accomodate most needs especially when special care like medications and treatments are needed. I have a large backyard in a friendly neighborhood. My home is very spacious with the ability to seperate animals who need a peaceful space to decompress. I have two cats who are comfortable with most other animals and when they aren't they graciously exit the situation and have the space to do so with ease. Our home also hosts two senior budgies but they have their own private room with a locked door.

About: I’ve lived with pets my entire life, and have seen all kinds of personalities and needs. I’m always attentive of individual pet needs and treat them like my own. I work full time 8-4 and currently often go away on weekends from Friday-Sunday. Otherwise I’m home the whole time after work to give lots of attention. I can also go home during lunch if ever needed. I’ve recently moved into a new home and have an empty basement at the moment which won’t be furnished for a few more months. Your cat can have their own very large space there with a bedroom included for them. Dogs can enjoy the whole house with me if they are friendly with my cat, and enjoy plenty of space in my large fenced backyard.

About: I can read pets moods and comfort levels well. Shy or scared dogs feel comfortable with me because I take it slow and let them come to me. I’ve taken care of young kittens and an older diabetic cat. I care for other people’s pets like they're my own and take the responsibility very seriously. I also love playing with cats and dogs, I have a lot of fun bringing out that side of them. I work freelance jobs remotely from my home and have a flexible schedule. I run a side karaoke business so some evenings I am busy. I am available throughout the week and weekends. I have a fenced yard and one small shih tzu named Andy. I take care of pets by first building a relationship of trust with them, giving them whatever space they need to feel comfortable and taking extra time to do this properly. I can manage medications well and medicated shampoo baths. My current dog has allergies and my previous cat had diabetes so I have a range of care experience.

“Colleen came to feed our two cats, one of which is a rescue and is very timid. Both cats came out to see her when she arrived which is amazing! We were very happy with Colleen’s service and would recommend her. Very reliable, polite and professional!”

When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and baby gates inside to help manage space, support routines, and keep pets safe.
