Cat Sitting Brock

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and other animals ever since I was 11. I’ve pet sat for friends, family and neighbours including basic care needs such as walking, feeding and playing and I have experience administering medication to special needs and senior dogs and cats I’m currently working part time, usually only 1 day a week, so I have lots of time to care for and play with your pups! I feel confident in caring for your pets needs, following the instructions provided by pet owners. I offer and require a free 15-30 minute meet and greet to ensure the safety of myself and your pets and to answer any questions you may have for me!

“This was my first time using Rover. Hannah was great and made me feel comfort in the fact that my kitty was in safe hands. She was easy to communicate with, professional and overall a pleasure to work with. Would 100% book with her again. Thank you Hannah!”

About: I was raised on a farm with numerous animals. I have always had a dog or cat in my life to care for full time. I'm an empty nester & currently working full time. This interests me to fill my time. I'm available 1st thing in the morning or after work. I have a 13 year old large breed dog that enjoys my fenced-in back yard. Each day she gets fresh water in multiple locations, breakfast (including treats) & dinner with supplements. I also have a domestic short haired cat that stays indoors. They get along really great.

“Krissy was amazing! She went above and beyond and even helped us buy more kitty litter when we ran out. Very reliable, friendly and easy to work with!!”

“William took great care of my cat George while I was traveling. He always goes the extra mile and George is incredibly comfortable with him. I’d absolutely recommend William as a sitter — he’s reliable and easygoing and really cares about your pet’s experience!”

About: As most people on here, I'm one of those people who loves getting to know the non-verbal communication between humans and animals. They say so much with body language and their eyes, ears, tails and mouths. I think it's amazing. My goal is to get that light out of them. The light in their eyes. I want them to feel confident and protected. And, want them to know if they want fun, I'm in too. I have a 15 year old rescue Border-Collie Beagle mix with my partner. I helped her personality come out through trust, learning new things and building her confident in me so she could trust the world more too. I started working with her in 2021. Rosie is my partner's dog. She's 12. She used to be reactive. I was able to build her confidence. She did have a lot of stuggles and works a lot together. Now she isn't reactive. She has many eye drops and arthristis things to deal with. Our focus with her is to keep her experiences hapoy and diverse. In September 2023 to April 2024 I was helping out a professional dog walker. We did pack integration, reactive or skiddish dog integration and confidence building work. And we did fun dog park runs. I worked with him with his clients dogs, and I also had him teach me specific fearful dog training by working with my mother's dog who would cowar and bark exsessively at anyone that wasn't her parents. She is now confident off-leash woth my dogs and listens to come commands. She is also able to go to the dog park and run her zoomies. Something she didn't have the confidence to do before especially with non-mommy and daddy around. Lastly, my ex and I had a Toy Australian Shephard together. I helped for the first few months on puppy care once every 3 weeks for a week. (We were in different countries). And then I was with her all daytime by myself for 4-5 months straight. We did crate training, poaitive reinforcement, and so many games, tricks, and learnjng to keep that mind going. Positive reinforcement is my go-to. It isn't helpful with all dogs however. My positibe reinforcement is my starting point because it can built trust with enjoy fastest. I work from home. Leica is a rescue dog, and my home is her "place." She stays with my partner when I am dog-sitting. I prefer to spend multiple days with the pups I care for because it allows us to form a genuine relationship, rather than something superficial. It can be stressful for animals when their owners disappear. I appreciate having the flexibility for at-home support since I have the freedom to work my own hours while supporting small businesses and the tech industry. For my dog, she gets fed as soon as I wake up and then at 5 PM every day. The timing is important because she is restricted from food, and it stresses her out not knowing when to expect meals, so I maintain a consistent schedule. We walk twice a day for between 20 and 60 minutes each time. She has a couple of designated spots that are "hers only" because the Boston Terrier tends to bully the bigger dog (Leica), so we have established a few firm rules regarding the beds. Leica is uninterested in chewing many things. Her preference is for food items, and we take extra care to provide edible bones that are soft enough not to hurt her teeth. Additionally, I spend a considerable amount of time ensuring that the treats and food she receives do not harm her teeth or negatively impact her digestion. Since she has had pancreatitis, I also monitor the fat content of her treats and food closely. We engage in enrichment activities like hiding kibbles in towels, using puzzle toys, and teaching tricks. We have a few buttons that allow for communication, and we try various activities to keep the Border Collie’s mind engaged and the Beagle stimulated. For other dogs, I make an effort to learn from their parents about their favorite toys to figure out how to best play with them. If possible, I take them to an enclosed off-leash area to play chase, which helps gauge their comfort level with me and allows me to encourage their playful instincts. Building trust is essential. I also observe if they are ready to take treats from me, and I incorporate tricks to enhance our interactions. For pups that are more fearful, this provides valuable insight into their comfort zone and how much space they need. Beyond that, maintaining consistent feeding times, regular walks, and the type of play they enjoy will always form my foundation for care. For cats, I like to learn from the owner a bit about the cat's personality. Some cats may be affectionate one moment and then switch to distain and attacking the next, while others can be very cuddly. During housesitting, my goal is to ensure that the cat is happy with someone there to care for their food and general needs. If they want anything else, such as string toys or catnip play, I’m happy to provide that, given that the owners are okay with it.

About: I’ve cared for my own pets as well as dogs belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and making sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone by their side, I’ll provide personalized care based on their individual needs and personality. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I’m currently on summer break from university, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Whether you need care during the week, on weekends, or even on short notice, I’d be happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide, so their day stays as normal as possible. I understand the importance of trust when welcoming someone into your home. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Tracy was great - responsible and sent pics and video every visit for 5 days. We never worried, knowing our kitty was in good hands!”

About: Ever since I was young I always loved animals, not only cats and dogs...but each and every animal I see around... I always communicate with them and give them as much as love as I can!! I'm currently enjoying my college life and being with pets gives me a plentiful worthy time to spend with these cuties.Even I have an innovative way of training puppies. I always try to maintain a safe environment for these fur babies and always use to clean and refill the empty bowls and never make them feel bored.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I’ve always been the person my family and friends ask to help watch their dog or to just stop by to let them out and feed them. I’m also capable of following a routine if needed and or making my own planned out routine for the dog. Currently I work part time at petsmart as a dog trainer where I teach classes for all breed and ages of dogs, I’m an accredited trainer and I plan to be certified in the future. I have experience with puppies all ages and I am comfortable with giving medication to old dogs if needed. Currently I work part time at petsmart so I have lost of free time during the week to watch, walk or let out your dog if needed. I am available also for routine visits for the same pet. For all of my pets I have kept or taken care of, I have always followed a routine that I am either given or I create on my own to I make sure nothing gets left behind or forgotten. My goal is to ensure i reach your dog’s daily needs for the time that I’m there with them.

“Vanessa was so wonderful with our cats, Piper and Chewy. She sent us pictures and followed our feeding instructions perfectly. We felt really safe leaving them in her care and would again. Thank you Vanessa!”

About: I completed my first pet sitting booking (10 days) and I was very successful! Not only were the cat and dog happy but the owner came home right after a major snowstorm to mostly shovelled driveway. My clients referred me to a friend! I intend to complete a pet first aid course in the spring. References upon request. Areas: Guelph, Hamilton, Ajax, Port Perry, Oshawa , Whitby, Vancouver Tri-city area, Peterborough, Cottage Country and more. I work from home so all I need is an internet connection! I am not glued to a desk and I like to situate myself where I can keep an eye out and be by the back door. Hour lunch break is playtime and before and after work a walk. I believe in providing for the pet’s normal routine. I keep my belongings and food out of reach and am ready for behaviours that might come up with their family away. Tummy rubs and playtime ease stress. I maintain the litter box daily so it doesn’t get out of hand. I have education in gerontology and earth science. I love older pets and will care for your plants too.

About: I'm not as new to professional pet caring now, but I'm constantly learning and I have respect and love for animals. I have cared for pet dog and cat from puppy to old age and I am always learning from experts on how to handle most situations that will arise. I am able to be extremely active and engaging with animals to ensure they are properly stimulated and socialized. I take my job very seriously as a guardian of a pet myself I know that they are as much family as pet. I will always take special care to listen to a pet's guardian's advice on how to care for their pet so that they are properly taken care of as they deserve and expect to be treated. I’m currently self employed and mainly work at night when my dogs are asleep. During the day I am free to look after not only my dogs but also other people’s pets as well. When I’m not working I’m often taking care of my dog’s needs. I follow instructions from pet owners and ask about their pet to find out what kind of care they need. Every dog has its own personality and needs and I do the best to treat them as their owner would treat them so their stay is as comfortable as possible.
