Cat Sitting Darbyville

About: I have been taking care and training dogs since i was 4. I have taken care of dogs of all ages from the moment they are born through to seniors. I have also trained dogs from 5 weeks old through to older dogs. I do not believe in the term you can not teach an old dog new tricks, i just believe it is more difficult to do so. I have worked with dogs that have issues from medical to behavioral and love a challenge. I am currently in college for dog training. I have a very open schedule. I own my own company and am able to make my own work schedule. I do have animals of my own so i cannot stay in a house over night but am able to do check-ins. I do have 5 dogs and 2 cats (who think they are dogs). I treat all animals as they were mine and love them all the same.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals! One of my earliest “jobs” was pet sitting for friends and family, whether walking dogs while they were at work or housesitting for dogs and cats alike. I create my own schedule which means my availability is quite flexible! I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups or hang out with your kittens! I’m happy to provide home visits for play dates and walks, but open to bringing pets to my place as needed. I’m certified in Animal Care from the Uni, as well as CPR, First Aid etc, and I have an educational background in Biology with classes such as Animal Behavior.

About: I've owned pets for years, including several cats and a small Shih Tzu, so I'm comfortable with both cats and dogs, especially small and medium breeds. Caring for my own pets taught me the everyday essentials: consistent feeding routines, leash walking, cleaning up, and noticing changes in a pet's mood, appetite, or health. I'm patient with shy or anxious animals and always follow each owner's routine closely, because I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed. I'm a full-time graduate student at the University of Guelph, so my schedule is organized around my classes. I'm usually available on weekends and on weekday evenings, and I plan my week in advance so I can give every pet reliable, consistent care. For House Sitting, I'll be at your home overnight and will return between classes whenever possible for feeding, play, and potty breaks. I provide care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable. I follow your routine exactly, including feeding times, walks, medication, and house rules, and I'll ask about any off-limits areas during our Meet & Greet. I always keep doors and gates secured, use a leash on every walk, and never let dogs off-leash in unfenced areas. I'll send you regular photo updates through the Rover app, and I'll look after your home as carefully as your pet by bringing in mail, watering plants if needed, and locking up whenever I leave.

About: I have the experience with both small dogs and large dogs. My own dog is a doodle, I got him 5 years ago when he was only 2 months old. I walk and train him everyday when I am at my parent’s place. I’ve also trained and walked my friend’s dog when she is away for a couple months. The dog is a golden doodle, and she was 4 years old at that time. I’m a dietitian student having my one year internship. I am working in a ltc every weekday from 9am-3pm. I love dogs and cats very much, so I want to get rid of tired from work by spending time with animals. I also want to have some exercise and stretching by walking dogs. I will drive to my client’s home and take care of their pets. I will play with them, feed them, and using treats to have some basic training with them (e.g., sit, up, paw, rollover). If I need to walk the dogs, I’ll walk them in the neighborhood, and take care of their poop

“Maria and her family took exceptional care of our cat while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing our little one was in such responsible and caring hands. She kept us updated regularly with messages and pictures which made us very happy and reassured us. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and close to home. It was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend! Atanu and Sanjukta Sengupta Milton”

About: The personalized care and genuine love we give to every dog we look after. We take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Working in the animal medical industry gave us the knowledge needed We treat every pup like they’re our own—with plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles! We also believe communication is important, so keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can relax knowing their furry family member is in good hands. For us, dog sitting isn’t just a job—it’s about building trust with both dogs and their people. We are organized, dependable, and able to plan the day around the needs of the dogs we care for. We enjoy having the flexibility to provide walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention while still maintaining a consistent routine.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy, whether it's going for long walks, playing, or simply giving them the attention and affection they deserve. Family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats while they're away because they know I'm dependable, responsible, and compassionate. I'm currently studying Zoology, where I'm learning about a wide variety of animals and their behaviour, health, and welfare. My passion for animals is what inspired me to pursue this field, and I can't wait to spend my career caring for them. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in providing reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. My schedule is extremely open and flexible this summer. I’m currently a dancer teacher and in the summer will only be unavailable a few days each month. I’m also captain of my dance team which also only takes up approximately 4 days each month. Therefore i have love of time available to care for your pets :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel secure and reduce stress while their owner is away. I make sure they are always supervised, properly fed, and have fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I also take care to respect the client’s home, keeping everything tidy and following any specific instructions carefully. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by providing reliable, responsible, and compassionate care that feels as familiar and safe as possible for the pet.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I’m confident with giving medications, reading their body language, and making them feel safe and happy. I enjoy going for walks, playing, and giving lots of love and attention. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own 💕🐶 My schedule is super flexible, so I’m able to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. Whether it’s walks, check-ins, or extra cuddles, I’ve got time and love to give! I provide care in your pet’s own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. Familiar surroundings help reduce stress and keep their routine consistent and happy.

About: I have over 30 years of experience with animals, and together with my family, we treat every pet like our own. We share our home with a friendly lab and cat, a spacious half-acre yard, and nearby hiking trails. I work full-time with flexibility, and my husband also has flexibility to help. Our kids adore animals and love welcoming them into our home. Whether I’m dropping in, going for a walk, or caring for your pet at our home, you can feel confident they’ll always be safe, loved, and cared for like family. I work full-time with flexibility to be home 1–2 days weekly. I’m also available weekends and holidays, offering reliable pet care when you need it most. We have a large yard, nearby hiking trails, and a friendly lab. Your dogs can be crated if needed for comfort and safety. A safe and happy space for your dogs.

“Michelle was great with Pumpkin. She kept me informed daily about his well being, sent pictures. I was concerned about leaving him because he recently was diagnosed with diabetes. Michelle was great with his feeding and giving him his insulin. I will be using her services again.”

“Mary was excellent as always. She watched our cat and house while we were away in Alaska for 10 days. She sends lots of pictures and updates. She follows his routine to a tee. He was very relaxed when we got home. She left the house exactly as it was when we left. Thanks again Mary!”

Nick B.

“Ala was wonderful in caring and watching over my cat for a week! She gave continous updates and made sure I was in the loop for everything from changes in her eating habits to her mood! I will definitely be returning to Ala in the future when need be.”

About: Ive lived with and cared for cats for over five years, and I currently have three of my own. I'm used to feeding schedules, special diets, litter care, and noticing when a pet is acting off. I've also looked after friends' pets, including overnight care for a cat and dog that needed extra patience at night. I'm calm, reliable, and good at following an owner's routine exactly. I treat your pet like my own. You'll get photo and text updates on every visit, so you're never wondering how they're doing. I follow your instructions closely, whether that's a special diet, a specific walk route, or a certain way of doing things. I'm also flexible with scheduling and easy to reach if plans change. I've set aside time for pet care around my work, so I can usually do walks and drop-ins during the day, plus evenings and weekends. Overnight stays work for me too. I'm a big believer in showing up when I say I will, and if anything changes, I'll tell you right away. Last-minute request? Message me, and I'll do my best to make it work. I come to you, so your pet gets to stay in their own space with their own bed, toys, and routine. That's usually the least stressful for them. I'll follow your instructions for food, walks, and little quirks, and I'll send you photos and updates so you can relax while you're away. I'm also happy to do a quick meet-and-greet first so we can all get comfortable

About: I have watched every type of pet for friends, family neighbours you name it. I’m known as responsible so I’m always offered tons of pet and housesitting jobs. I have also helped train two puppies who are well behaved now :) Currently working as an actor so my schedule is up and down but it will not affect me if I have committed to watching your pet or house Not applicable will only be watching at owner’s home. My current house has no backyard or anything suitable for pets or pet sitting. N A

I'm dedicated to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away."

"I live in a secure apartment equipped with safety doors to ensure cats are always protected.

About: Apart from having pets all my life, I’ve spent years rescuing animals in need. From cats to dogs to birds, you name it. Rest assured, your pet will be treated with the same love and patience I have for my own. I'm currently in between switching jobs hence timing will not be much of a problem. I'm available for pet sitting from 10 am to 8 pm throughout the week. My pet Freya, is mainly an indoor cat but is also leash trained for walks in the park she sometimes accompanies me on. She's on a wet food diet (fancy feast pate) with freeze dried chicken as a topper. She has a steel litter box that helps keep it odour free and fresh. My home is also cat proofed in every way.

About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a child! Growing up I would spend time with my uncles dog Diesel! I love walking dogs and teaching them new tricks and of course giving them lots of treats to reinforce good behaviour and habits and maybe even an extra treat just for being cute ! i’m excited to offer pet care services! I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while under my care. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention! I’m very flexible and looking forward to discussing and following your pets preferences and routines ! I live in a condo & have a dog park nearby. Depending on your needs and routines that you have established for your pets I can care for them as needed so they can still maintain a sense of comfort when they’re away from home!

About: My preferred name is Zara. Nice to digitally meet you here :) I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! The reason I don’t have reviews but so many pictures is because pet parents I encounter don’t wish to pay extra fees and during meet & greet choose a different route :) I’ve 20+ years of experience in foster care, reactive dog care, senior dogs/cats care. I lost my job in Aug 2025 and I’m pet boarding full time. I’ll be there for your fur baby 24/7. If you like my work, tips would be greatly appreciated since pet sitting is my main and only source of income right now, while I actively hunt for a full-time job in this economy :) What sets me apart from other sitters is my approach and knowledge - i constantly update myself by reading more into holistic care and positive training for pets. I adapt my style of care to your pet because I believe each pet has their unique personalities, space and likes/dislikes. I love to mentally stimulate my pets with a walk in the park near by or puzzle games at home. I play soothing music in the house with some calming scent. I give cuddles to a cuddly pet or space to a more reserved pet. I never take dogs to dog park. I never leave your dog off leash anytime. Your pet’s safety is my #1 priority. A regular day in my life as a pet enthusiast: E.g. if it is a dog: 7am: morning poo/pee break 30 min 8am: breakfast 10am: morning walk 60min 2pm: afternoon poo/pee break 30min 3pm: lunch (if small dog) 6pm: evening walk 60min 8pm: dinner 9pm: night poo/pee break 30 min I’m currently unemployed hence I am home full time and I have a small 1 year friendly chihuahua (trained puppy). So I have more time on my hand to go dog walking or board your pet. I have a variety or trails and parks nearby; I believe dogs need regular walks to mentally stimulate themselves with their super strong sense of smell. I love enrichment walks with dogs. My pet dog Chico would love to have a companion to go on a walk with. I have 6 feet and 20/50 feet leash at home. I also have a big sized crate in my house if needed. If you are boarding your pet cat at my place, I would encourage you to provide all the supplies because a change of diet would affect their gut.

About: My name is Carla and i love animals. I have a pet myself. He's a 8 year old Siamese cat named Tommy! I love my pet with all my heart and wouldn't let anything bad to happen to him. If you trust me with your furry friend, you will get the best of the best service a pet sitter can provide, like they are my own. That includes countless hours of cuddles and play time! I'll ensure your pet is safe and well taken care off while you're away, at the same time trying to minimize the effects of your absence by keeping your pet distracted. I strive to provide quality service that includes: frequent visits, overnight staying, weekend sitting (day and night) and pet walks. If you're looking for a loving pet-sitter that really cares for your pet, don't hesitate to call. Thank you! I have a lot of free time and I would love to do more pet sitting. I feel confortable around animals and nature, so it's a natural thing for me. I will respect customer's boundaries and rules and keep the pet safe. I'll try to minimize the effect the owners absence creates on their pets, with special care when needed, lots of play and cuddles. I can't have pets at my house, because I have 2 cats.
