“Merci Mélanie! Mon chien, qui n’est pas toujours facile, a apprivoisé Mélanie rapidement! Elle est calme et à l’aise avec les animaux, et ça se sent :) Je n’avais aucun stress à partir pour la nuit. J’ai eu des nouvelles, et tout était rassurant. Encore merci ☀️”

About: I believe animals are always communicating with us, and I approach pet care by listening first and responding with patience and care. I have 12 years of experience with my own dog and have worked through reactivity, anxiety, fear of noises, and leash pulling using positive reinforcement. I have worked with multiple trainers over the years and have spent a lot of time learning about dog behaviour and psychology, which has shaped how I care for animals today. I pay close attention to body language and subtle cues like freezing, yawning, or disengaging. When a dog seems overwhelmed, I focus on helping them feel safe and settled by creating space, choosing calmer routes or environments, or redirecting them toward something grounding. With shy or nervous dogs, I always let them approach on their own terms and give them the freedom to take breaks or step away when needed. I also believe in balancing physical and mental stimulation. Along with fulfilling walks, I enjoy incorporating enrichment like sniffing games, confidence-building activities, and gentle training. These activities work well for high-energy dogs and can also help more nervous or shy dogs feel comfortable and confident. I have experience caring for large and small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, as well as administering medication including pills, liquids, topical treatments, and ear drops. I am very comfortable following vet instructions and care routines, and I tend to be very organized and attentive to detail. Above all, I genuinely care about each animal’s wellbeing and individuality. I use patience, positive reinforcement, and observation as the foundation of my care, and I always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. I’m currently a work-from-home professional so I am quite flexible time and space wise. I am available at virtually any time and can readily offer overnight care in your home while you’re away. With a persistent attention to detail, I frequently look out for when an animal is trying to communicate a need, such as them wanting water, to play, to eat, to be pet, etc. I always ensure they have fresh, clean water and that they are fed the appropriate amount and on time. I also like to spend quality time with them giving them belly rubs and and behind-the-ear scratches. I also look out for their safety by keeping things that might be dangerous out of reach as well as checking in on them frequently to make sure they are doing well :)

About: J’ai toujours eu des animaux, chats et chiens. Je ne peux pas en avoir dans mon appartement et je m’ennuie du contact et l’amour animalier. J’ai énormément de disponibilités et de flexibilité étant en arrêt de travail depuis 2 ans. Il me fera plaisir de vous offrir de mon temps avec vos animaux chéris. Je suis active, j’adore marcher pendant plus d’une heure et il me ferais plaisir de permettre à votre chien d’avoir cet exercice avec moi. Je garde également souvent les chats de mes ami.e.s. Et j’adore me coller et les flatter, leur parler et dire comment ils sont beaux. J’adore découvrir les personnalités uniques de chaque animaux.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for years, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a calmer, more patient approach. Pet owners trust me to keep their routines consistent—whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or administering basic medications. I’m very attentive to behavior and body language, so I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I pride myself on being clean, dependable, and communicative, and I’ll always keep you updated so you have peace of mind. I currently have a very flexible schedule and full availability, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and overnight care, and I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs frequent walks, check-ins, or just extra companionship, I’m able to be fully present and reliable. I am available for any last minute changes to your itinerary as well! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs. I’m very attentive and keep a clean, calm environment to help pets feel secure. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I make sure your pet is supervised, safe, and well cared for at all times. I’m also happy to provide regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I grew up with 30+ bunnies in my backyard, and had 3 cats. My mom still has 2 rescued dogs and 4 rescued cats and 1 bird that i babysit sometimes while working from home. I currently live with my sister that has a small pugchi mix so i’m used to being the babysitter for her as well when she goes to work or on trips. I took care of 2 ex-boyfriend’s dogs that were a german shepherd and a golden retriever. I work from home 100% of the time (so I can stay for as long as needed and give your home and furry friends all the love and attention they deserve!) All i need is for you to have reliable Wi-Fi i can connect to in order to work. Im able to give your pet attention throughout the whole day and go for potty breaks when needed. Walks would be before work, during lunchbreak and after work. I speak FR and EN. I can give you updates and pictures as much as you need to feel like your baby is safe. I’m a very calm person and would be working on my computer wether it’s a weekday or weekend so your home is in good hands. I can also do a house clean for a fee if you’re interested.

“Friendly, tidy, flexible, and responsive. Lindsay cared for our cats and dog while we were away. An unexpected issue had occurred with our return flights, which Lindsay was understanding and flexible with. She followed the instructions we left with regards to our pets, and tidied our apartment before we returned, which was very thoughtful! We recommend her, and would use her services again.”

About: I've grown up with animals and have taken care of friend and family pets over the course of my life (am now in my 40s). And I've been taking care of cats and dogs professionally for a few years now, from young to old, healthy to less healthy. I'm very good at bonding with the animals, adjusting to their own pace and ways of being and so making them feel at ease. I work from home, so I'm around the animals a lot. Being a freelancer, I make my own schedule and this flexibility makes it easy to attend to the pets' needs. I'm also an early riser so it's no problem to take care of them early on in the day. I only offer house-sitting so I'll be in your home and will work with that configuration as per your instructions to ensure the pet's safety and well-being.

About: Ive been fortunate to have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals at my parents rehabilitation center. I volunteered for the SPCA as a trained dog-walker for close to a decade and am unfazed by any behavioural /aggressive traits as I’ve fostered a range of rescues and owned seniors throughout my 20s. Please ask me any questions about the experience you’re searching for :) I’ve recently finished my graduate studies and work remotely part-time. My partner and I take care of our senior dog (12) so I am happy to house sit or provide drop ins/walks anytime. My schedule is flexible, let’s chat about what your and your pets’ needs are! Fenced in yard, spotless house so they won’t get into anything, and constant company :) I’m responsible but easy going, let me know your rules and I’ll follow them to keep your pet comfortable and on schedule

About: I've always been in love with pets specially dogs, cats and birds. I usually take care of my friends pumpkins while their away and keep them happy and healthy. I actually believe in this quote from Milan K: "Dogs are our link to paradise". Aren't they? Luckily I have flexible working hours so I can adjust my schedule based on your need to spend quality time with your pet and do the work later! It is unbearable for me to see a bored dog or cat. I will play with them without feeling the time and make sure they have their food and medications.

About: I have experience with a large variety of animals, including many foster dogs and cats, many of which with their own sensitivities and triggers. I also helped foster a broader set of animals through my childhood, including geese and raccoons, and have pet sat too many times to count for dogs, cats, and bunnies I currently work an inconsistent field job, so my schedule is wide open when it is open... and the rest of the time it is closed for months. Please reach out and I can tell you what part of the world I'm in when you are looking for a sitter I am looking primarily for pet sits that include house sitting, so I can be available for the animals on a 24/7 basis if needed
